Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce Runs To The Ocean

For some, the dedication and passion invested into their vintage car approaches fanatical levels, much like those who push their limits in the ocean. Whether racing from Molokai to Oahu or paddle-boarding for miles and miles off California's coast, being in the ocean can become an obsession. For Mr. Casey Annis, his 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce 1600 allows him to bridge the gap between his two pastimes—classic cars and the ocean.

Recreating a factory race car from the 1960s is no simple task—for Jason Len and his 1964 Jaguar E-Type, the challenges were no different. The hours and materials to build something of this magnitude far exceed any dollar amount that could be recouped from the finished car's sale, but this is irrelevant for Jason. To him, the idea of owning and recreating this car is simply about chasing a dream. He devoted his life to Jaguars, so when it came to deciding whether or not to build the car, there was no other choice that could be made.
Fiat Dino Spider Gives A New Perspective
Play
When Ferrari wanted to race in Formula 2 with its new V6 engine named after Enzo Ferrari's son Dino, Ferrari faced a problem. They needed to build enough cars to satisfy the homologation rules, so Ferrari turned to Fiat for help. A deal was struck with Fiat to build the Dino Coupe and Spider, and with this, Ferrari got its chance to compete in Formula 2. Danny Soukup always loved the way the Dino Spider looked, so for decades he worked his way into a position to buy the car of his dreams. He shares the new perspective into life that his car has given him.
The Gilera Milano Taranto Holds A Special Meaning
Play
What comes to mind when you hear the words "Italian motorcycle"? Ducati? Moto Guzzi? What about Gilera, Benelli, or Laverda? Italy has a rich motorcycle history and has been producing unique and beautiful bikes for years, but here in the United States many people aren't familiar with Italian brands outside of Ducati and Moto Guzzi—many are not even familiar with the smaller single-cylinder offerings of these two brands. Hugo Gallina, owner of Vintage Italian Restoration in Southern California, has been building and restoring Italian bikes out of his garage for years.

Interesting that he’s an Alfaholic but the race car next to his car is a Triumph Spitfire. Makes no difference, if you like older sports cars, we all have the same DNA.

My first proper sports car was a Alfa Syder. Black just like the Mr. Annis’s Veloce. Ma, I miss that car.

As usual beautiful video and car ! But since i saw the video on tuesday, i add a question. How can a californian guy got a 15year old poster from a Renault megane Kit car on his garage ? 🙂

Very nice video about a beautiful car. But I’m bothered that it was obtained unethically by an unapologetic egocentric.

The only problem with this video is it makes me want to move to California. With the wind rain and salt encrusted roads here at the moment I’m jealous of anyone that can get there classic out and drive it to the coast all year round.

What a stunning machine. Alfa Romeo must wake up and built cars like these again.

What a great video this is. Here is a guy that does not need to go 1.02g around a corner and go 0-60mph in 3.5 sec. to completely enjoy what the car hobby is all about. Just the movement is what it’s all about. Like he said at the beginning of the video. It’s the art of movement. Truly this guy “Drives Tastefully”. Well done Casey!

This video is just another reason why i love the car hobby so much. Its just the cars, the passion of the people involved wtih those cars but i must admit i get pretty envious sometimes as well seeing these vids of stunning locales and what makes this one better is seeing those locales in a stunning italian roadster..just a slice of car heaven for us
