Oh yes!
The idea is to meet your group in Luino (or in the zone) the day before you'll move to Maranello and in the morning to drive with you.

that sounds great!! Really looking forward to meeting our Italian friends

We are well jell (as our Essex friends may say) i wish you all happy and safe motoring sur le continent. Come back safe and make us all envious. Bon voyage!!

That's excellent - can't wait

I'm so torn.

Aaaaargh

This looks a lot better than the Ferrari museum, and to be honest, I prefer them to Ferrari.

You do actually go around the production line by the looks of it.

So, the choices could be


the party splits when we get there ( they are only 20 miles apart)

We do a vote and just do one

We do the same run on 2 different days, one for each museum.

We visit one, book a room while we are down there for £35.32 and visit the other. Those who don't want to could travel back.


I would be happy making it 2 runs.

My vote goes for Lamborghini over Ferarri every time

I'd prefer to stay down there and do them both!
And these roads:- RATICOSA AND FUTA PASSES, ITALY

We’ve actually got a double treat for you here because very near the Raticosa Pass is the equally stunning Futa Pass.

Both passes are on the road that links Bologna with Florence that has now been bypassed by the A1 autostrada.

Both of these passes have dozens of hairpins and incredible views.

A big bonus is that you’re near Maranello, the home of Ferrari, and you can pay a visit to the museum while you’re in the area.

ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to a late cancellation there is availability for one car + 2 people for this prestigious trip.
Any one who wishes to be included in the Border Patrol Italian run, please contact myself or AlphaJ as soon as possible!

This offer is still available. Had plenty of interest but no takers

I can't believe this is still up for grabs. Trip of a lifetime! Lambo and Ferrari museum/factories; Stelvio pass; Italian wine, food, scenery and roads; A great bunch of people going!


I suppose on the down side, David Aiketgate is going, but we... Oh wait, that's me isn't it?

This is a great offer David, but obviously short notice. Have you considered farming it out 'elsewhere' yet?
