I cycle a lot, and people are confused why I get so mad at drivers who pass super close or maintain speed as I’m about to make a turn but I just want to make something abundantly clear; in a fight between a 2 tonne hunk of metal powered by explosions and a tiny 15kg metal frame powered by my legs, the 2 tonne hunk wins. Every single time.

THE ESSENCE OF BEAUTY

1966 - the introduction year of the famous ‘Osso di Seppia’ - the luxurious SS Raffaello carried a set of Alfa Spider Duetto’s 1600 on its first-class lido deck across the North Atlantic. This historic voyage exemplified the blend of classic automotive beauty and the grandeur of ocean liners. Bringing Italian open air motoring for new decades to come around the world

Its 1964 and here we have a gentleman setting out for his place of work in London, which we will see later turns out to be the old US Embassy in Grosvenor Square Mayfair. Off he motors in his lovely MG 1100 through the streets of London, getting into all sorts of a muddle and upsetting other motorists and pedestrians alike, who take it I might add, with a Britishness sadly not often seen any more. Almost quaint when we consider how it is today out there with the brutal fight to get to work. What went so wrong....
