    We arrived in Rome this morning, and are heading up to Milan on the 10th for the F1 weekend. Any other FChatters coming to Monza this year? The streets are abuzz with talk of Fisi's chances.

    Hey, Andy. I'm in Rome right now doing some sight-seeing myself. If I don't see you at the race, I'll see you at the factory on Monday (I'm taking the tour the same day). :) My last F1 race was Indy 2000, so I'm WAY excited to see this race!

    What grandstands are you guys sitting in?
    I am buying tickets today.

    Can I get in on your factory tour Monday at 2:30? I'm in Germany and have had troubles arranging this. I'm coming to Monza on Saturday.

    What track are you going on Friday? Monza I assume? I ask because I know they are doing a school at Fiorano (level 3).

    Which car do they take you out in on Friday?

    We arrived in Milan via train today. After taking every walking tour we could find in Rome, the race will actually be relaxing for us. ;)

    Our hotel is a 5 min walk to the train station, and we're going to take the train to the Bassiano-Lesmo station every morning and just walk into the track from there. Consensus seems to be that will be faster than dealing with traffic jams (though tomorrow should be OK).

    Yes - our tour is the 2:30 one!

    I'm looking forward to meeting you guys in the paddock.

    It was great to connect with Andy, Pam, Joe, and Suzanne at the track last weekend. Then we got to hang out with Andy & Pam at the factory on Monday. WOW, the tour was awesome. We got to see pretty much everything, including a couple test mules, some AWESOME classic Ferraris (2 x 288 Evolutiones, MS's FXX, along with 16 others, a 599 FXX, and way more than I can include in one post), and then dinner with Andy and Pam at the Ristarante Cavallino. I've been wanting to do this trip since I was 8 years old, and it was everything I wanted and more.

    Sempre Ferrari! :)
