Looks like another good trip judging by the pics, Clare is dead jealous of the Lambo's. Look forward to seeing the rest once your mouse had run around the wheel enough and charged that computer back up wink

I visited another car museum before the MM started when i drove to Verona from Brescia but i don't

have the pics currently so will sort that out at the end.

After all the cars had left Brescia i moved on for day 2 to find a random place to watch them

pass again.

After getting hopelessly lost in Verona and Not quite so badly lost in Ferrara i find myself in

Voghiera,which i previously said was between Verona and Ferrara,it's between Ferrara and Ravenna.

Some of these pics been posted in the monkey's blog thread ,can't remember which so have them all

again.

That's it for MM pics.

After this i planned on going to Imola circuit for an European Le Mans race on Saturday.

I wasn't too impressed by the small entry for a 3 hour race so got there Friday afternoon,

watched some practice and qualifying and started the long trip home.

The pics from Imola are a bit poor due to shooting through a safety fence.





Support races for Peugeot RCZs



and the French GT championship

to the Peugeot museum in Sochaux,France [obv]



This mini size Bugatti was presented to Mr Peugeots daughter by Ettore Bugatti himself.

Heading further north i need to go past Reims again,remember my fail there 2 weeks before,

i find a map in a service station and go for another attempt at finding the Reims Champagne

car museum..........EASY,the way into the city i take this time even has signposts for it.

So find it easily this time.





That is a 2CV with different panels fitted ,you can see the 2CV centre section.




The front of this Salmson reminds me of the original Batmobile



A Ligier JS2







A Renault 25 that the mentalist Swiss Franco Sbarro has restyled,quite a good effort







A bizarre Tour de France support vehicle

In a display case were some really high quality detailed model dioramas













Lastly an obscure micro car with stabilisers,doesn't inspire confidence in its stability
