    Working on the basis that our cars were actually meant to be driven, be it on the track or on the road, rather than just polished and admired (though I do that also) I am embarking on a trip in my 1973 Daytona down to Florence, Italy.

    I will be keeping a blog and if anyone is interested they can follow my progress. I was thinking it might be useful, I can always send for help!

    Hi Mike,
    We should be in Florence from the 8th for four days. That will entail a bit of city/museum culture and hopefully a bit of driving. I think I might drive south into the Chianti region but nothing definite as yet. I have not been further south than Maranello before and feel a bit spoilt for choice. Lucca looks lovely but no firm plans as yet.

    Thanks KP,

    I will follow the blog carefully and hopefully, I can catch a glimpse the Daytona and its beautiful exhaust note while in Florence! Good luck on your venture and enjoy the ride.

    Best,
    Mike

    Yes, bizarre isn't it? It is a new requirement. I am really not 100% sure but I have bought a two pack from Halfords for £5.99. I presume that if the French police stop me I breathalyze myself. Who thinks of these things?
