Love that! I've thought quite seriously about swapping my 996 for one of these

That is a very nice looking car. What's the grey bit material on the dashboard? is it some sort of metal or is it plastic?
Great colours though.

Looks placcy to me.

It looks a bit cheapo in places. I just thought thats to be expected buying a low volume car like an Aston.

On a DB7 yes, maybe but they'd been up and running when this came out.
TVR managed it as do Lotus with small volume and decent interiors.

I did a search for the V8 Roadster and no green cars. I was quite surprised. I like them. Not enough to buy one if I could (I'd get a GT AMG) but again, good looking car.

My car news is M240i is sold and should be picking up the A6 at the weekend. SL will be up for sale in the not too distant.
All change please, all change.



Hopefully it will prove to be as invisible as the 2 Series.

If you're going dogging there you dont want the car to be invisible do you?

You do if you're just there to watch...

You're doing it wrong. Get out of the car and get involved. The people in their cars enjoy being watched.

Saturday morning wash.

Still to be convinced there's anything better than a clear glass L322 for barging around.

Although admitedly it's not fun at the pumps right now.

Good afternoon (ish)

Has anybody been to Modena and if so which museums would you suggest visiting base on roughly one day there (I'm going to see if I can get into the Stanguellini one) so it actually comes down to which is the better Ferrari one. From the internet it looks like the one Enzo museum is more about the history so that's caught my eye however happy to hear any other opinions / experience.
Thanks.

Also, A6 is actually pretty excellent.

Are you spending the day in Modena, or is there an opportunity to visit Maranello?

If you can get to Maranello then the Museo Ferrari is excellent, and you can wander down the road to peek over the fence and see what is circulating at Circuito di Fiorano.

It's all very Ferrari Town but worth the experience if you've never been before: you can peek in the factory gates and even stay at the Ferrari-themed Maranello Village Hotel & Residence.

Hi Jeremy

We're doing a bit of a whistle stop tour and staying on the outskirts of Modena for no other reason than car museums so anything goes at the moment.
Looking at photos online of both museums, on the face of it they don't look massively different in their offering, however I suspect that's not the case.
Have you been to both?

No, only the one in Maranello I'm afraid. I'm sure either will be a good experience. smile

I may pop along to Fiorano anyway on the off-chance of seeing something like this...

Be warned, the roads are far far far worse than UK roads for potholes.
