Went to Italy through Switzerland (I live in the east of France), thought I'd share a few pictures of the 2000+km !

It was a mix of camping and hotel for the accommodation, went to UK Garage for the 12k service
(as stated here: http://pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&amp... ), went to Supersprint to get new silencers and finally visited one of the home region of Italian Supercars Modena (With the Lamborghini, Ferrari and Pagani factories) !

I have to start editing the videos but here are a few pictures in the meantime smile

A quick stop in Switzerland:






1st sleep over in Italy, close to the Lake Como




2nd sleep over by lake di garda (or something like that)
The Tuscan has an incredible boot we even managed to drive with the roof off when fully loaded tongue out




1st supercar encounter !






Finally slept in a Hotel, we got rain both nights out camping, and so many mosquito bites, it was time for a little luxury tongue out



Then we went to SuperSprint (well known company that makes exhaust systems)






on the last day we visited Pagani, which was I have to say... awesome !!



Wasn't sure which to go back with... smile




Arrived at the Lamborghini factory ! And I thought the TVR was loud... I was mistaking !!

Arrived in Maranello a few hours lated




And finally treated ourself to a nice BurgerKing on the way back! (There are no BurgerKings in France, and the misses had never tried)





The End smile
