Default My C2 shot by petrolicious

Hi guys,

I'm very honored to say my car was the subjet of a petrolicious video footage/photo shoot. I got the news a few months ago and the D day was wednesday.. The meeting point was 10 miles away from my home @ 7.30 AM. I start the engine, open the garage door... damn ! so cold !! -10 deg celsius( 13 deg fahrenheit). Thankfully its a so beautiful day and very dry, not so common in the belgian fall..

I met the two french guys doing the footage, I think was the first time they saw and heard a c2 rumbling

That was a though day, a lot of turn around, lot of pressure, always wondering if I impose on the car was really justified. But that was a really awesome day. Thumbs up all along the day.

We got just busted by the luxemburgish cops asking waht we're doing with the drone and this car.. a movie mister. "You stop that right now, the drone !!" pfff stupid ok..
5 minutes right after 2 F16 was flying at the same place where the drone was filming , these guys were right !!

Unfortunately and logically i cannot drop the beautiful pictures taken by the guys.. but i took these pictures. The movie should be released in spring 2017.

Congratulations with this shoot, I am a big fan of petrolicious. It's an honour to be in the program!
In the mean time, my 64 body-off has done its first miles last week just before I left for a business trip to Pakistan. Went fine with the usual tweaks that I need to get grips on in the coming weeks. I am looking forward to meet on Belgian territory for a Belgian 'C2' gathering (I know of a total of 5 now).

Hi Frankie, Ho sorry I thought it was obvious US guys know petrolicious..
Petrolicious is a US internet channel/website doing awesome movie on such beautiful cars.. They make short movie telling a story (a tale sometimes..) about the car and the driver. You should have a look at some films.

Congratulations! Finally a C2 video. For the longest time I thought they were Corvette bigots (until recently) since they have shot a few the past few months.

Great pics, but I'm thinking if the sun was out it may have been out of this world.

Actually my father own an alfa coupe bertone and had been contacted by the guy doing the european release. During the movie I called him to say I just bought the C2, he was so happy that he talks to the guys about his son.. So i've been lucky but if you have a story to tell, if you're passionate and have a car you're the right guy. the tommorrow release should be my father and his coupé bertone, I can't wait to see him

That A110 for sale is awesome! I don't much care for the seats, as there's better, more period correct seats out there that could be used.

Honestly, not a bad price for an Alpine. Too bad it's in Stuttgart...
