    Thank you.

    This will surely be one of the Top 3 or Top 5 threads of the year.

    Thank you so much for all the pictures and details, and allowing us all to enjoy the trip vicariously through you!

    Fabulous stuff Aaron, thanks for taking the time out to document your journey.

    I am currently looking at a number 456's in the UK and after reading your thread I have been inspired into thinking I should personally go pick it up (when I eventually find the right one) and take her for a quick spin through Europe.....particularly Italy....before putting her on the boat!!....Food for thought, thanks.

    Cheers Darren,

    Just be super careful with the Insurance.

    Next time I would organise Insurance before I bought a car as this nearly stopped me from collecting the car.

    For example if I was to purchase the Insurance legitimately it would have cost $10,000 AUD for 3 weeks.

    Being a little creative it was far less, however I doubt that this would have stood up in court if I had an issue......

    Good call...if I do decide to pick up personally I am sure I will have a hundred questions ....hopefully it/I will be relatively painless for you

    I am really pleased that you guys enjoyed the tour and I look forward to updating you with pictures when the 550 arrives.

    By the Way, I am currently planning another tour and this time I think that the vehicle may start with 5 and end in 99.

    Stay tuned for more info in the coming months.......

    By the way.

    I have just fixed my 458 Video on You Tube.

    Now the sound is correct;
