Il Raduno di Duettoclub Italia in Orvieto

DCI had booked a hotel, not just booked, we had the hole place for us. Bebo is ready for take off. So, imagine a hotel with a huge amount of Alfa Romeo Spiders. Excellent view from the hotel balcony. Our Duetto got company from the same decade. A Giulia 1600 Spider joined us.

A Duetto, 1600. Red carpets was an option, looks nice, really nice. I found that this Duetto was one of the very first with this original outfit. Still looking up to date. Yet another 1300 Jr Duetto. Due to legal restrictions and taxes, the Italian market had an engine just under 1300cc.
The 1300 Jr had a two spoke steering wheel.
Again, another 1300 Jr to be admired. Most of the old Duettos had only a few km on the odometer. Not many people drive these cars. If you ask me, they should be on the road a lot more.

A strict rule on all our meetings. Always start with a full tank, no fuel stops. So we are always obliged to check fuel before take-off. Due to this, the service-station makes a lot of money in the evening.
Makes sense, so the group is not affected while driving.
Here, you may get the impression of all the Spiders. It is quite a long line of Alfa Romeo Spiders. All various colors are being represented. We were lucky to drive and follow the yellow S4 Spiders. easy to spot.
And the were revving quite OK, if you ask me.

On our way, we passed Lago di Corbara, east of Orvieto. Soon to be in Civitella del Lago Wow, here we go, shifting gears and revving, sometimes it went quite fast, but no accidents. Queuing and being admired by the local population. And then, revving downhill heading for La Peninsola, where DCI had an enormous Italian lunch prepared.

As always, when a hundred or so Spiders need to cross a regular road, traffic jam comes hand in hand. But when you turn your head and look behind you, what an excellent view. Italian Spiders and Italian friends, very sympathetic. The lovely Lago Corbara and the Penninsola.

L'organizzatore dell'evento...perfetto duettista Gava - Gaetano Vaccaro The organizer, grazie Puh, another junction and a lot of Duettos. You can spot the Lago Corbara finally.

I like Umbria! In the parking lot, alfisti tend to open the bonnets. Then, engines are being scanned and commented and admired.
We all know every (almost) part and stud and nut, but it's a never ending story. This is a 1600 Duetto engine, 1966.
Even for a true Viking from Scandinavia, it is nice to park under the shadow of the trees.

Luciano and his family in the S4. Aargh, nice Duetto from Rome. My turn. Genuine leather helmet me look like something from an Ingmar Bergman movie. Some say I would scare the children in this outfit.

A fun event.
