In this section, I am preparing articles that combine the historical background of specific models with my personal driving experience. Sooner or later, most of these will also be featured in the VIDEOS section, accompanied by a full video report. 




Coming soon:  Lancia Y 16V  Elefantino Rosso

I have perhaps never experienced a car that evokes as much internal conflict in me as the Lancia Thesis. It is a vehicle so specific, in both good and bad ways, that it could hardly be more so.

In the 1980s, Alfa Romeo was in a critical state. As a state-owned enterprise, it struggled with heavy financial losses and constant labor strikes; a question mark hung over its very survival. Ultimately, there was no other solution but to move under the wing of the giant known as FIAT. Most customers and fans of the brand were deeply disappointed...

If someone told me I could choose only one car in the world to own, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. My answer would be immediate: the Alfa Romeo GT Junior.

The Ghibli model (named after the hot wind blowing across the Sahara) in its third generation is no newcomer to the European market. This model from the renowned Italian factory with over 100 years of history has been in production since 2013. Over those twelve years of existence, it has undergone several evolutions. I subconsciously resist the...
