  • North Pole with Alfa Romeos!

    In all the total trip was well over 5500 kilometers. All the cars did well. There is this notion, if not myth that Alfa Spiders can be a bit finicky and unreliable. Our Spider broke down only once.…

    We three wanted to gift some special experiences to our respective better halves on the occasion of Valentine’s Day. We fixed the place and that was Matha Bari Purulia. The booking of accommodation…
