Following two epic journeys with the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio – first in summer 2024 with the Dolomites as the destination, crossing through Europe in a fantastic summer setting, and then again towards the Alps for a spring break skiing trip earlier this year in March – your correspondent, and his loyal co-pilot also known as Luigi P, got a big spring in their step when asked to venture on a journey to the beautiful forestry region of the Ardennes, with its endless rolling hills, rivers, and tarmac which grips like no other in Europe.

I took the Corvette Z06 Convertible on a week-long tour through the rolling hills and winding lanes of southern England, the sort of countryside where Aston Martins usually rule the roost. From the chalky cliffs of Sussex to the winding backroads of Surrey, the Z06 devoured every mile with theatrical flair. The highlight? A sunset wine tasting at the Roebuck Estates Vineyard, where the golden light glinted off its sculpted lines as elegantly as the sparkling rosé in my glass.

The Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD Spyder is smoother than a penguin in a tuxedo. It's the epitome of automotive elegance, gliding along the streets with a grace that could make a swan jealous. If sophistication were a car, this Spyder variant would be leading the parade, turning heads and effortlessly oozing style like a catwalk model at a fashion show. And Spyder means that you get to enjoy the open sky as seen from the comfort of a supercar.

The Audi R8 V10 is somewhat of a legend in its lifetime. The classic shape, supercar performance, minimalist interior and celebrated engine roar made this car much loved by all sportscar fans.

We took it on a Shakespearean tour of Stratford, staying at the wonderful Arden Hotel opposite the amazing Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and ending our trip at the celebrated and venerable Great Fosters hotel in Surrey.
