car guy looking for fun things to do in rome

There is a Ferrari store by the Spanish Steps beside som e of the big name designer clothing shops. They mostly sell memorabilia, but had some cool artifacts laying around like an F1 engine on a stand and an F1 car or two. not a huge deal, but worth a look while you're there. Enjoy the trip and one word of advice... don't get your gelato or anything else for that matter at the mobile trucks that are everywhere catering to the tourists. They are about three times the price and the food SUCKS. Anything you buy at a fixed location sill be far less costly and much much higher quality than anything from the mobile snack stands. Example: Chocolate Gelato at snack truck= 4 Euros= tasted like crap Gelato at several different fixed locations around town=about 2 Euros=very very tasty. have fun un Rome, it's a beautiful city

 

Find a local newspaper and look up: La Palor e Massage and flash some Euro's or a US Federal Reserve Note (CASH!!)

I bet you have a GREAT time! Before you go, buy a Cohiba from Cuba for dessert.

Muuahah

 

ferrari dealership (samocar) is on via salaria. they have a big used car showroom outside of town (but ironically still on the via salaria), attahced to their main garage. so you can see all the cars for sale and all the cars they are working on. last time i was there i saw about 5 enzos, 2 f50's, an f40, a 288 gto, a barchetta, etc

 

No. The main showroom is on Via Tiburtina, exactly in Via Smerillo 20, very close to the Ring.

 

yes. you are right. i mixed the streets up. just tell the cabby, he'll probably know.
btw, that is where my ride came from.........
