For the first time in my memory, a monthly breakfast gathering of the NJ Chapter of our Alfa Romeo Club was postponed due to weather. Sunday December 14 saw all of us awaken to the sight of around a half-dozen inches of snow, and the club wisely decided it prudent to wait a week. But the wait was worth it when ten NJ-AROC members made it to the B2Bistro Bar & Grill in Bordentown, NJ for our December meet and eat.

The Bistro doesn’t open until 9 a.m., and its menu is more of a brunch than a traditional diner type breakfast, but everyone found something satisfactory to order (the four-egg omelet was a popular choice). We had a nice mix of folks we see quite regularly combined with those who make the journey only occasionally, which is why we rotate the breakfast location.

My ’67 is in hibernation, as are some other members’ cars, so the only three Alfas in the parking lot were modern ones, but what a lovely lineup they made! Three Giulia sedans, each in a different color, were parked side-by-side. I may not be objective, but for a vehicle which debuted in 2017 and has not seen any significant design changes since, the Giulia shape has aged very well indeed. To my eye, Alfa got it correct right out of the box.

With Christmas and New Years on their way, the Alfa women and men bid arrivederci  to 2025, as we anxiously await for the 2026 car show season to begin.
