Off topic but I met a very interesting person today.
He was a visitor at work and came up to me to ask a question. It ended up being a
twenty minute conversation about many interesting subjects.
We talked about Ronnie Peterson, Niki Lauda, Valentino Rossi, Monza, Imola, Alfa Romeo,
Ferrari, Jarno Trulli, motorcycles.. he was a petrolhead too.
His name was Alberto and he was from Italy. He told me he was eighty-three years old and
still drives a car. When I asked him what he drove he said 'All my life I have always driven Alfa's,
but right now I drive a Fiat Panda.'
My face lit up because I like that car in GT6 and when he told me it was parked outside I got even happier
because I have never seen a Panda in the flesh before.
I went out to look at it and was immediately very disappointed, it was a Panda from ~2005. I had hoped
it would be like the one in the game (1990).
He was a great man to talk to and he seemed very happy in life. For thirty years he had toured around
Europe playing the accordion in a band.
