    as some of yall may know i have to travel to italy a few times a year..sounds great but its work over 10 cities in 2 weeks....
    so this time i had to visit a supplier in modena
    so on the way visited the modena ferrari museum
    its literally overshadowed by maserati ...mas corporate is a 7 story building a block away!
    goosebumps, chicken skin wow that place is cool!

    so then meandered over to my supplier whom i cant mention but unbeknownst to me is actually the ferrari machine shop!
    JAWDROPPING!!!!!!

    got to measure a few f1 parts to check out their measurement equipment......had to wipe off the drool and found it hard to walk with a stiffie!

    ciao ciao !

    very nice Don! The museam changes every 2 months or so, but I haven't seen Ferraris yet in the actual workplace connected to Enzo's hose. Neat to see!

    FYI the Maserati factory is one junction back ;)

    Have fun! And a drive in a Mondi is Always fun in Italy :D

    I think I know this Mondi...Roma plates and currently for sale for 30k? If so, the engine is very dirty and running on 7 cylinders...

    Dont think its the same

    Its pristine and running excellent!

    showed him pics of mine first thing he said not original wheels he was very much a purist

    They have their own private collection of cars , each with its own set of matching driving gloves waiting on the seat

    it was incredible!

    It's also an European thing to have it original. :) In Germany they are more into custom.

    Purist thing :D
