At a guess I would say the land of sheep (NZ, Auckland I would say).

LOL....I don't have a compass and slide-rule, and relief map handy....37 south could be my back yard for all I know.

Always wanted to visit New Zeland and Aus. Maybe someday

Good guess...

I'm living in Auckland NZ at the moment but I'm originally from Liverpool.

I am PSYCHIC.....I tell you!!

Dunlops are the greatest tires I've ever used on an Alfa. The ONLY drawback to them is BUILD QUALITY. I hate to tear on the Brits for this....but there is a significant construction issue with Dunlops. I've had them separate, explode, rip, tear.....you name it.

But as far as GRIP goes, Dunlops cannot be beat. I defy ANY tire to hold a corner better than my Dunlop Q's. I've literally trusted them with my life. If only they'd use better...glue....or........

The roads are twisty and scenic.....

.....but they're made of chip-seal which is both really noisy to drive on and destroys tyres at fairly regular intervals !

Oh..man.....

I'm half Italian and I hate Pirellis. PZero is the ONLY good tire they make...the rest are Fiat-bourne (requested?) garbage.

May I suggest....
...match.com for you two love-birds

JK!

So, now that we have had a Milano-fest at Laguna Seca How about a pomme-fest in the NorthWest...? Calling all Alfa-driving Kiwis, Aussies, Boere, Souties, Pommies, Engels-Manne, basically anybody within a reasonable drive to Seattle - Drinks on me!

Americans welcome - (If you can tell me what a "Boer" is....)

Is this an adjective or a verb....or a dangling participle, or denomintor....wait...I have confused myself....

Anything to do with the Boer war per chance? Which would make them Dutch (sort of) South Africans.
