Moving to Italy with the 'S'

[nasz]

Anyone have any advice?

Dont drink too much of the free wine at lunchtime and remember that an evening meal lasts a whole evening (and sometimes a whole night!).

On a more serious note, weren't 2.0turbo S's exported to Italy or am I thinking of something else?

drink a pint of milk if a raw chilli is too hot for you.

Think they were sleeved-down supercharged versions.

Just dont ask about the tax rates for cars over 2 litre enough said....

never quite understood it as to whether its insurance based or taxed base but hence the creation of the 6 geared punto 1.1 and the nutty cagiva and aprilia 125cc bikes that can do 115 mph!

what about to 50cc Aprillias then, 78mph!

Still sounds like a hairdryer though!

Hmmm - sweeping generalisation follows. Driving in Italy a couple of years back I was really surprised to discover that the country of Ferrari and other flash cars had such ropey infrastructure road wise. Sure ours is by no means great - but Italian roads couple with the suspension of an S sounds like a sure route to a compacted spine. Lots of uneven surfaces, pot holes - even the motorways weren't great.

Lovely country though !
