IM BACK

We went down through France along the french rivera and into pisa down to volterra and on to rome. Got arrested at rome airport....whilst picking up a copilot.
Cabinnari thought I was doing a runner and dumping the car in the carpark (Thanks home to rome). We had two cars broken into at rome and some stuff taken one was mine....
Chevy and I then went down to the deep south and visited pompei and its volcano.
left there and went up to marrinello to visit the ferrari museum. Was looking at visiting rudi but time was against us so we headed north and the san bernadino pass stayin in como, heading north up from the north of Italy(got bitten by mosquitoes really bad here) then zoomed through Switzerland and up to austria to Dornbirn, from there, passed through germany, and into belgium, throuh brussells and into france, hopped on the ferry and up through the UK to home.

If you don't mind me asking - what did it cost you in the end?

mangogrooveworkshop - 16/6/08 at 01:22 PM

Have not worked out what its cost yet

Fozzie - 16/6/08 at 01:56 PM

Excellent!

Well done! Sounds as though you visited quite a few European countries too!

Welcome back

Ten or eleven at the last count

Car ran like a dream spanked the arse out of the bigger cars like the mercs on those dream roads that you always see on these isle of man video productions about lambos in italy.

THE SP1 must rate as a fun road now replaced by the toll road so no traffic to speak of SP one is fab.

We have loads of pictures to edit and sort.
AS well as video some a are longish so we need to find a site to host them


spoiled only by having to come back to work todaysp1 link



pictures soon
