Our group of 34 travelled in 17 Giuliettas and Giulias and one modern Skoda (due to a last minute breakdown on the way to the ferry from Ireland to France). This tour of around 1,000 miles in France was planned to be less arduous and more leisurely than our longer, mountainous European trips but it was no less enjoyable for that and we arrived home well fed, rested, and happy.

The Giulietta Register Club again participated in the AROC-UK National Alfa Day on Sunday 18 August at Bicester Heritage near Oxford, UK.

The 28th Vernasca Silver Flag event on Saturday started bright and early with our cars (all of them having been hurriedly washed after the filthy weather we'd endured in previous days) congregating in a dedicated display area just for our cars beneath the historic castle in Castell' Arquato. The weather was perfect, hot and sunny all day, the atmosphere was amazing with plenty of loud engines and some very special cars.
