Alfa Romeo Writing
Here is an old Alfa Romeo, created in 1983 The new Spider
featured some important changes in exterior design, including new rubber-made
bumpers that were not very well-received by the Alfa Romeo customers. Its first
facelift happened three years later, in 1986, featuring newly-designed side
skirts, mirrors and spoilers.
“Now you can’t tell me that seeing these cars on the road
wouldn’t make you smile. Especially when it is in that hot red colour, it makes
my day seeing old cars just like this one. I believe that these cars although
they are very bad for the environment due to the emissions from the engine, but
that doesn’t mean that we can’t have cars that look like this. I mean, when did
we stop making cars that look sleek and fast, and start making cars that look
like they’re from the future”
The Alfa Romeo club was created to show everyone that old
cars were just as stylish as the modern day counterparts, touring the UK
showing off the cars to the public was a great idea. The owner has said that
the main goal is to “show off the cars” The club consists of 1200 people and
around 560 cars, which travel across the country to show off and parade the
cars around. Although the Romeo is an Italian designer, more were sold in the
UK, it’s like the car equivalent of curry. The club was founded in 1999 after
the internet was really established allowing people to come together over their
love of cars. It’s sweet that all these people have come together over their
love of cars, especially such a nice and attractive car.
“I would like to see more types of car groups touring the UK
this summer, however it does take some coordination and brains to manage a
group of 1200 people, especially transporting that amount of cars, but in the
end it’s really worth it. The group consists of over 50 types of cars which are
located all through the UK in all sorts of conditions, it’s a real task”
Currently the club has another 37 destinations to visit in
the north of England, including places like Liverpool, Knowsley, Manchester and
Carlisle.
“The plans have been quite successful and don’t think that
the bad English weather will stop people from showing up and enjoying
themselves. All the events have catering and toilet facilities and can be a
great day out for the whole family. It cost’s nothing to get into the event.
On behalf of the Rawcliffe Hall Classic Car Enthusiasts, we
would like to invite all owners of any make of classic vehicle from the 1940’s
to 1970’s to join us for a great weekend at Rawcliffe Hall, just 7 miles to the
East of Blackpool, Lancashire. The event which starts on Friday 7th July 2017
and finishes on Sunday 9th JuIy will be a great opportunity to meet other
owners, and have a great time taking part in various activities which will
include a road run through spectacular Local countryside visiting places of
interest. Also included will be a Concours D’elegance with a major trophy for
overall winner, and a great Free Rock ‘n’ Roll extravaganza on the Saturday
night - plus other items.”
Overall it sounds like a great day out, if you look on the
website North West car festivals you can check all the dates where the festival
is on, you can also check the weather and how long it will take to get there.
There is also another website that you can look at on the Alfa Romeo fan club
where you can see where the cars are going next. Hopefully there will be more
car festivals in the coming years and will gain more attention, there’s a whole
world of motorsport out there and people need to see what cars were like at a
time of great progress, from the 1960 – 2000’s.
