“Tuscany Classics 2015
In May 2015 our 21st Credit Suisse rally was held in magnificent Tuscany. The rally could also have been titled “Alain, his Alfa, and lots of coffee” since there was the rally group that drove with discipline and observed the roadbook rules. And then there was another group ... Alain and his Alfa 8C were mostly in this second category, the espresso group. But this is only one of the rally stories which will make this rally unforgettable within our network of friends and enthusiasts”.
