Alfa Romeo isnโt only known for stuffing the heir of the cursed 1.2 PureTech into their new SUV with questionable looks.
As much as it hurts my French ego, we werenโt the first to dare put an F1 engine in an everyday car.
In 1988, Alfa thought it would be more than interesting to drop the 3.5L Tipo 1035 V10 from their F1 program under a 164 body. 620 hp, revving to 13,300 rpm, for around 750 kg. Not gonna lie, Iโm a bit jealous of the Italians on this one.
But the prototype never got a taste of competition, since no other brand choked on that much audacity, and it stayed the only car in its category.
Kisses to you, dear Alfa 164 ProCar.
Garden's super wet after 10 days of rain. While walking around the pond shooting mushrooms, a blackbird walked/hopped in front of me, as if he was showing me around.
Today, I'll be mosty eating cake.

Was looking in Google Street View at some of my old neighbourhoods.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the annual fun-fair in August is still continued.
Language is a funny thing.
In French French (no typo) I'm now "soixante-dix".
In Belgian French I'm "septante", which makes me feel even older.
Oh, and in any French "j'ai 70 ans"= I "have" 70 years...
๐ผWill you still need me,
will you still feed me,
when I'm sixty-ten ๐ถ...
If you're wondering what the fโck a "rimpelbuisobstakelbeveiliger" is:
it's just an impact absorber.
Op de A16 bij Dordrecht is een automobilist tegen een rimpelbuisobstakelbeveiliger gebotst en daarna gelanceerd. De auto sloeg over de kop en belandde achter de vangrail. De bestuurder is aangehouden op verdenking van rijden onder invloed.

Got a BIG "Tarte ร la Normandie" for my birthday from @picardsurgeles
Merci Picard!
Funny English language:
"habitable": yes, you can live there.
"inhabitable": yes, you can live there.
"uninhabitable": you've gone too far, you can't live there!

Asked Gemini a question about food. It turned into a pleasant 10 minute "conversation" with a bot.
Do I need therapy?

A 70 y.o. friend had been living in Antwerp๐ง๐ช in the same rented apartment for +40 years, until the landlord decided to "renovate" and kick him out.
He now moved to a small town, 20 km away; and to be able to pay the new (much higher) rent, his 43 y.o. daughter moved in ๐ตโ๐ซ
Sweet memories... that never existed.
The pic with the camping gear is FAKE.
I had Copilot make it with some prompts, used 2nd photo as location, (my shadow in Sweden, June 2025) and 3rd pic for "more van" (at my house, April 2023)
Eagle-eyed๐ viewers will see the sticker.๐
