This Alfa Romeo Montreal Plays With Light
I had the pleasure of meeting TJ some time in 2014 and was immediately drawn to him. He has a quiet humbleness, but behind his subdued demeanor you can also sense the passion and genius that lurk within. He never brags, never self promotes, and never reveals his hand and as a result you’re always left wanting a little more TJ. Since meeting him, TJ and I have spent countless Sundays together and we also enjoyed our Alfas on this year’s Targa California. Seeing his Montreal in action was a real treat. This video really does capture “the essence of TJ” and highlights his intense love of cars and photography and how he blends the two with such finesse and artistry. I’m happy to see that he has been bestowed with the honor of having a Petrolicious video spotlighting him, although in his humility TJ would never tell anyone to watch it. Kudos Teej (and Petrolicious) and I’ll see you up in Monterey next week!
Amazing!
I don’t fancy Alfas, but if I ever decide to get one, this is the model I want !
The first time I saw one, was in a book, and was immediatelly in love with its shape, stance and style!
I’ve only seen one here in Portugal (but I know that there are a few more). There was even a magazine article about them (Teej .- if you’re interested I can see which number is and scan it – mind you that’s in Portuguese 🙂 )
As to THAT color – it ads even more personality to it!
PS: what’s up with the left headlight “thing!” on 5.09 – left is down and the other is up – Alfa Romeo electrically gremlins showing ? 🙂
Also loved the way they combine the car with your Teej’s passion for photography!
Cheers from Portugal
As always, another great film from Petrolicious! When I saw the Montreal in the header, I knew what it was as I had seen one once before. As I watched the film, I realized that I had met this very car and the owner during the recent Targa California. The vehicle was sitting outside the motel where we had stayed for the night. The body is stunning, and the color, mesmerizing in the early morning as the sun began to rise. As my buddy and I walked around the car, TJ came out and we chatted for a bit. I had no idea of the existence of the Montreal until this moment and really appreciated having the opportunity to talk to him and to have him share his passion about his Alfa. Great guy. Great car! Thanks again for sharing a ‘second’ time!
