Grand Tour

THE NEW
Alfa Romeo
Giulia
Could you tell us about your early life
and childhood?
I never knew my real father; he was
French Algerian and was in the French
Air Force. He married my mum who was
in the WRAF and after the war, whilst
my mother was pregnant with me, they
went back to Algeria. I do not know what
happened but she left him and came
back to live with her mother in Suffolk.
She was from quite a poor country family
in a place called Woodbridge and that’s
where she had me. Her mother already
had quite a lot of children but she let us
stay in that house for about six months
In May we got our first glimpse of the new Alfa that is due to be
launched in the UK sometime in September 2016.
How time flies! It felt like only yesterday that I was setting off on
my grand tour around northern Vietnam (see issue 2 – Spring 2013)
but where to go next?
This new car has distinctive Italian
design; innovative powertrains, perfect
weight distribution, some unique
technical solutions and one of the best
weight-to-power ratios.
The taut proportions of the Giulia have
evolved from its all-new rear-wheel drive
architecture which gives the car short
overhangs, a long bonnet, muscular
haunches and the longest wheelbase
in its segment. The Giulia benefits from
the careful management of weights and
materials to obtain perfect 50/50 weight
distribution across its axles too.
A full range of all-new, all-aluminium
engines power the Alfa Romeo Giulia
saloon, putting them at the top of their
segment for performance and efficiency.
All engines are manufactured in Italy and
include two version of a 2.2 turbo diesel
producing 150bhp and 180bhp.

autonomously to avoid collision at

until my mother got a job as a kind of
housekeeper in a little terrace house for
an old man who lived on his own. She
kept house for him and let me stay there

Ever heard of Wow Airlines? We hadn’t either, but after our smooth
and comfortable 3hr flight to Iceland’s Keflavik airport, my family of four
were big fans of this small, modern outfit. We arrived at 11pm, still
wide awake and anticipating our week’s holiday exploring the natural
wonders of the western quarter of the island. Having left a hot and
muggy Gatwick in July it was something of a relief to feel the fresher,
cooler air and experience the late night summer twilight this close to
the Arctic Circle – daylight would start to creep back at about 4.00am.
We bought provisions at an all-night shop, grappling with the mental
maths of an exchange rate of 154 Icelandic Krona to the pound. This
was not going to be a cheap week.
