I’ve always just loved corvettes. But really I love cars in general. Never owned an Alfa before but I’m glad I do. BMW’s have their own personality and are fun as well. I’d actually consider replacing my C7 with a new Z4 M40

I recall a run out with a Viper a few years back. He had two of us out of our cars either side as he traversed a gate near Lizard point.

I did about 35000 miles in my C5 throughout Scotland and England (and all over Europe twice) - honestly there’s no issue with width! It’s not like a lambo or something. I’d wager a 911 is wider actually.
