Julie2 spotted in Nenagh

Posted on September 20, 2011 by jonathantravers

Last month I headed along to Octane.ie’s Midwest Cars&Coffee meet. There was a nice selection of distinctive cars at it and the owners were more than happy to chat about them. The Alfa GTV6 was gorgeous, fully restored and in immaculate condition, so I moved the Giulietta and parked side-by-side to see if any of the Alfa Romeo DNA remained.

There are some pics up on the group’s FaceBook page. You might spot a familiar white snout amongst them!
