Not confirmed as yet, but we have 4 tickets to the Ferrari and Maserati factory tours and it looks like one of the cars might drop out, would anyone be interested in potentially joining us?

Driving down, stopping in Stelvio on night 1, then down to Maranello for 2 days of tours then 2 days back to the UK.

27-1st October

Same. Timing is a week or two out. I'll be there on the 20th I think. How did you line up the Ferrari tour? I'm definitely more interested in the 'rat factory than the Ferrari factory, but if It's straightforward to sort, it would be remiss not to look into it.

sounds like the perfect trip for me, but think my co-driver hoped to be in a nice hotel near Portofino. Will see if this comes close!

School Field Trip!!

This guys, Is to help you make your mind up..... I am very tempted to fly over and do it with you. I just wont have a sensible car to do it in at that end... even as a passenger...

just look at the views and listen to the sounds of the place,,, for me that Maserati engine in the Alfa wins the day on sounds.... its really good to hear them all back to back in the same environment... The aston is the next best...!!

Thats it Loz, stir up the interest!


My only regret is not having the mike set up that i have now ,the film doesn't do the Brand new Larini system justice , now i have two mikes that i can gaffer tape to the rear bumper just above the exhausts , completely cuts out the wind noise, next year i'll do another one of Stelvio and the Transfargarasan highway in Romania ,

Loz, Matt,

You are bad BOYS!!! but I like you... if I had not promised the wife a holiday to the cook islands.... I would be there in your face in 48 hours...

Do you remember this edit, it has some nice footage.... What camera did you use. I thought the stability of the lens was very good considering it was probably taped to your front bumper...was it one of those "hero" models...

Just because I am feeling stupid how do you embed the You Tube clip into the site page. I could only see the URL link...??? so apologise for that..


Ozzie

Cook Islands if your interested,,, but I would prefer to go to the factory... don't forget the masser museum as well..!! while your there...

The Sunday Lewis, 1st yes. The only issue is if anything goes wrong you could be a day late.

Sorry Matt, floated the idea past and it was roundly forbidden - for obvious reasons i.e. not making it back! It's white horses for me instead...
