    Well, here are the photos.
    I arrived in Milan on the 19th of November and rented a Benz to drive to Maranello on the 20th.
    Toured the Factory November 21, 2006 and it was sure fun!!!
    There were 599,430 and Maseratis all in various stages of completion.
    Could not take any photos inside but I shot a few of accommodations at PLanet Hotel and across the street of the Ferrari building at night.
    Second photo is interior of a suite we were upgraded to. It looks across to the factory, ergo the third photo.
    Fourth photo is of the Corso Clienti drop off and pick up car.
    Last two photos are of Foxtown/Mendrisio in Switzerland. Drove there to do some outlet shopping!!! Prices are excellent despite the 1.3 to 1 exchange rate of the Euro!!!

    Any questions about my trip let me know!!!
    Prior to this I had contemplated either having paid transport or driving myself.
    Sure am glad I drove myself!!! It was fun!!!
    I will posting another thread with attachments of my sights in Milan/Montenapoleone on a Sunday afternoon!!

    It was rainy the three days I was in Maranello.

    Thanks for sharing. Were you lucky enough to see your very own on the assembly line - now that's cool! Also did Ferrari officials take you to the top secret planning room so you can confirm their designs for the 420 Dino or revamped 550hp 430? ;)

    BTW, great outlets also in Lake Como if you can live with season old Zegna, Brioni etc.

    I drove by Como on the way to Foxtown. Did not know there were outlets in Como. We went to Seravelle Scrivia as well. Prada at 50% discount at the very least even. Lora Piana,Bulgari, Versace....they all have stuff at good prices. You are right though, some are outdated. Perhaps by a few months LOL LOL LOL. Three months pass and it is ready to be donated. LOL LOL.
