Beauty on the Road

The new Alfa Romeo 4C is just gorgeous! It looks like a perfectly streamlined wind blade. Me want to drive it.

Also hoping Peugeot releases images of the new 208 GTI this year. I wonder how much it would cost to rent a Peugeot GTI (or an Audi RS6) and take it on a road trip around Europe or even just a road trip to visit the Trappist Monk Breweries in Belgium. That would be a fantastic trip!

I don't believe she was ever really a commoner. Such a beautiful portrait. I did wake up for 6am to watch the ceremony. Loved every moment.
