One year with the Alpine A110!

My first year with the Alpine A 110 has just ended and I am starting the second year. All good, only pleasure, a true smile machine. 

My Alpine as I received it: 

none

The second year will be dedicated to some more improvements ( new exchanger, sports cat, remapping, new, bigger and lighter brakes, bigger tires, and a few other changes I am currently working on ). Let's say that for the moment, I am half way. 

I had a 2000 kilometers road trip, last summer, with the daughter, and some more roaring adventures in Normandy with friends. 

With the daughter in Auvergne: 

none

none

none

none

none

none

none

Near Limoges: 

none

none

none

Near Fontainebleau: 

none

And in Normandy: 

none





none

We also lived some experiences and tests on the track. Serious things will start when all the improvements are done. 

none

The exciting thing is that I could test other Alpines to measure my own changes. I could gather some informations here and there and measure all the changes I had and will have. 

Julie's one: 

none

none

none

none

none

none

Her husband Damien's A110 S: 

none

none

none

none

none

And one I couldn't test, but which is prepared by the same Alpine Workshop than mine... Its owner gained a bit less than 100 Kilos, with carbon everywhere outside and inside ( door panels, for example ) and super light wheels ( not pictures here ) and suspensions / brakes... Credit pictures: AM Performance who is in charge of the remapping: 

none

none

I will not go as far as he did, for a budget reason, mainly, but I took some inspiration from him, I must confess. And I gave some ideas, too. As for watches, the pleasure is also in sharing ideas.

Anyway, let's say that no other car could give so much pleasure. 

A keeper, definitely, for me. 

Best,

Nicolas

What a picture-feast of great cars! 👍👍 Enjoy your A110 as long as possible... until we aren't allowed to drive combustion engines any longer, at least. ☹️

Very nice Nicolas! Glad you get so much joy from it! I love the bad-ass version, but yours is much more my taste: civilised Also, good to see that you are not scared of driving it! They are made for it! I've been away from here for a while and need to catch up with topics l...

I am trying to find the best compromise here between performance and " civilised " character. Yes, I will be there on the 4th. Ping me!

After all the improvements ( if all goes well before next summer ), I will try to make a comparison review with the Alfa 4C and the Porsche Cayman. ;)
