Watching the news on TV a while back,saw some bloke flying kites for World Peace.
This gave me a great idea.Lets try and organise the biggest one day drive event across the world for Alfa owners and leave our carbon footprint.
Since this idea is in it's infacy your ideas and thoughts,would be welcome as I am sure this could be an historical event.

Maybe if we all burn rubber at the same time we create a shielding layer of smoke that will reflect the rays of the sun back into space?

Mats your onto my way of thinking.
Seriously could you just imagine the whole lot of us around the globe synchronising such a mamoth wheelspin ? Were bound to get a mention...and get Alfa some great publicity

or really, really bad publicity. The press can always angle it like they want and I know which way it would be angled here...

Sounds pretty risky. Not only could we damage the Earths delicate ecosystem with our exhaust, a syncronized world wide tire spinning event could alter the earth's rotation.

Altering the earths normal spin could be done by confining this to all stock 2 and 2.5 litre Alfa's with all others just joining in with synchronized revving to contribute to the cultural acoustic enhancement of our fellow human beings.
Those poor souls denied the aural pleasures of one of the great Italian contributions to the advancement of mankind....
My carbon footprint with a 3.6 with no Cat's must be just amazing.
