I'm missing my Z too... I cant wait to rip around in it. I always love it when I've been driving the 240 for a while, and then get in the 350. Cant wait!

I've been at school and work alot. I came home at 930 and had like 3 pages of gossip to read!!! And at the end of it I thought I'd post a pic of a nice day I had with Dave, I'm sure he'd agree. Great pic, cant wait for summer!

Why? You only touch big ones?!! :P
totally just playing man, I signed on this morning and saw 300 posts and figured to only read one line of one of them haha.
Anyone recommend places to stay in Italy? Im taking my mom in April and she is on my *** to start booking things. We are landing in Rome, renting a car, and I have to be in Genoa for a half-marathon partway through the trip, but everything else is open. Thinking Modena (ferrari museum), maybe Florance and Tuscany.

if you have a free day for Modena, i suggest doing this instead: http://www.motorstars.org/ENG/proposal.htm
it's a full day of supercars, and if your wallet feels heavy, you can take a spin in a ferrari/lambo on the local streets for like 200 euros on top of the tour fee.
I went on tour 23 and I highly recommend it. Especially now that the new Huayra is revealed. Lambo museum and Pagani factory are places you should definitely visit.

^ That is very cool! I toured the porsche/merc/nurgburgring/bmw M facilities a few years ago and they were the highlights of my trip, I can only imagine what those would be like. The production floor would be cool to see.
hmm F430 is only 60eur for 10mins haha.

lol you dont' get to tour the ferrari factory, it's a privilege they give only to special ferrari owners.
Lambo factory is being remodeled, and it won't be available for viewing until April. Would've been nice to see but the museum is something else.
So you're only really getting to visit the Pagani factory, which is essentially 2.5 rooms, but impressive none the less. It was actually my favorite part of the trip, but i'm a big pagani fan.
He has another sheet there when you pick, i don't remember if it was still on the list. most of the people in my tour who decided to drive picked the 458 and the LP560-4. They all said the local traffic kinda blows, but still enjoyed the little time they had behind the wheel.
I highly recommend this trip, all you need to do is find your way to a train station, and the dude picks you up and takes care of you for the rest of the day (food included). When I went it was only the owner of the company that was giving the tour, and he really knows his stuff (he worked for all 3 companies as a composites engineer, and i think part of the ferrari f1 race team at some point).
It was fun holding onto a piece of the Zonda R, and to play with carbon fibre fabric at Pagani. I wonder if they'll have some Carbon-Titanium weaves for show now.

I meant the lambo factory sorry, and we won't be going until april so you might be able to get in, ill email them to see what they say. Ill have a car there (hoping to finally drive an alfa!), but its more to get from city to city. The LP560 would be a riot even in slow traffic, but its a pretty penny for 20mins of fun.
