Touring Europe in my 550

Aaron, I just sent you an email about the 550 tonight! Decided to do some reading on F-chat about 550M and stumbled across this. Mate, when you told me about this back in March, I thought you were crazy with the distance you were talking about. Now I read this whole thread and wished I could have picked one up with you too! Maybe I will need to get one so we can do a re-run of our little mountain and track joust like we did in our GT3/GT3RS.

 

Cheers Wayne,

It was an awesome adventure and I look forward to catching up with you soon.

I did email you today as well.

Regards

 

+1, really an incredible thread, thanks for taking the time to share the experience with us!

 

Thanks Jacques

 

I want to see the thread of you guys driving from Australia to Europe without a boat.

 

Never underestimate Pap and Taz.

OHHH CRAP, where is the REPOST police. get that out of my brain........I thought that was banished forever. Still quite funny however I wonder if HE uses a vent kit?

 

Update.

So I decided to have a look see at where the 550 was....

And a quick google search found the NYK Pegagus tracking just South of Sri Lanka;

Some awesome software!!

 

Interesting stuff!

When is the ETA?

 

Should be about another 2 weeks.

 

Hi Aaron,


A bit late finding your excellent thread, just read from page 1 to page 12!! So glad you had such a great time, it`s something all Ferrari owners need to do sometime in their life!!

I did a trip much the same as yours a few years back in my 348 Spider, driving around 11,000 km in 7 weeks, I think its time to plan another visit back home for the 348 after reading about yours!!

If you do this again you must drive down the A7 Milan - Genova, then take the A10 down to San Remo, its a beaut....

Best regards,
Phil.

 

Thanks Phil,

It was one of the best experiences that I have had and I am currently planning the next trip for next year. I think a 599 might be on the cards too...

 

Very nice! The 599 is a wonderful machine and I'm sure you would enjoy her immensely.

Would the 599 be an addition to the 550 or a replacement?

P.S. Send me a PM if you happen to pass by Monaco during your next Euro-trip

 

Thanks Carlo, the 599 would be in addition as it would remain in the UK for 18 months for the purpose of road trips.

I will PM you 100% as I will be in m/c for either late January or June 2012. What is the weather like in Late Jan??

 

Some of you guys may remember that I did a tour in my 550 in 2011.

And it's on again....

However this time I purchase an F12;

Please feel free to drop in and say hi.

 

You're a lucky man to have done it twice! Take care and enjoy buddy.

 

Thanks Mate
