Nice-Verbania-Venezia-Fano-Vico del Gargano-Santa Ceseara Terme-Roccella Ionica-Palermo "Targa Florio" - Praiano-Firenze-Roquebrune Cap Martin. 1952 Ermini 1100 rent-a-racer coming in from Milano. Shiny side up, gents - see you there. Cheers Kevin Image Unavailable, Please Login
Beautiful pic, Malcolm. I'm sure that you'll be on pins and needles until you meet again. It will be a mother and child reunion, I'm sure. Dale
This is making me think I screwed up not registering for this event. My bank will appreciate it, however a hundred year anniversary comes along once in a lifetime. Grrrrrrr - GJ
An Ermini is a very interesting car, but expensive to maintain. If you break a part, you will have to make it. I don't know of any spares...
Excitement and Anticipation just builds and builds!!! See you all there Image Unavailable, Please Login
If you don't get the windshield replaced in time, there certainly will be tears in Nino's eyes, and in yours too.............. She's looking superb; hope you get to see the old Syracuse street circuit, as well as the autodrome. Paul M
What is the date cutoff for cars to be allowed entry to this event? Could I get in with my Daytona? If so.... perhaps next year! Terry

Hello Bryan, Yes I'm driving the Mondial together with my friend Guy Fawe, as we did the 2002 Mille Miglia. I only think the Giro di Sicilia/Targa Florio is much more relaxing than the MM but its a rally I really like to do. Lets say as a tribute to Gendebien: 1 time winner of the Giro and 3 times winner of the Targa.
Im also looking forward to see you to. How are you travelling. Well depart on Sunday afternoon and take the ferry at Genoa at Monday evening to arrive at Palermo at Tuesday evening.
Dang. Seems they would allow cars through 1968 or in the modern class after 1971 but if you have a '69 or '70 model.... your screwed. Oh well. Terry
