Alfa Romeo - what fun!

Although I drove a manual transmission car daily for 15 years, it is always on my mind that I will forget how to drive one, so it was with great relief that I managed to drive our Alfa on this trip for the first time. I was not in any condition to drive it last summer. So getting behind the wheel is always a little nerve-wracking, but like always it came back to me like I had never stopped driving a stick. The car was fast, well-powered, with a five-speed, and a pleasure to drive, not too big for the roads there, great turning radius with tight steering. I always dislike cars with soupy loose steering. Looking forward to next trip and driving again.
