    We have fairly good internet connection, but it is late guys! Huge traffic jams and some break issues with the GT4. Lots of stretching legs. Just arrived from diner 01:15am.

    Too little time for it, but in Stuttgart you can rent a new Porsche 911 for just 99 euro an hour :D

    Some pics of today!

    haha yes, no need to know how many times I speed during these trips ;) Switzerland was really annoying this time and stuffed with speed cams. -> 80km/h (60miles/h)

    One photo of the P factory. Obviously my Ferrari polo was like a demon entering a charge for P fanatics. :)

    You could have guessed already, but the internet connection really s**cks in Italy, but the rest is great! :D I still need to bump into a place where they have a good connection if that is even possible. Uploading one picture takes 10min.

    In the evening we went for food. I left the Mondial at the apartment and stepped into the Dino as a passenger. Oh my! what a fun that tiny Ferrari is! The roar is unbelievable and the thing is so bloody jumpy with those 4 Webers. It's nervous like a full blood Arabic horse. So different compared to the Mondial!

    So I left my Mondial and when we came back guess what was parked next to it :) a 928S!

    Next day it was raining cats and dog! Good thing is that we didn't need to wash our cars ;) But what a weather.. every time when it seemed to clear up there came another cloud pouring out buckets of water! Also this year it seemed to be a madness to get to the center of Brescia.

    We took some pics wandering the center streets of Brescia. After an 2 hours or so we went inside to get a nice pizza/lunch since this was the price of able to park our cars on our favorite spot.

    Hope so too Ben! :)

    Time to drive into the racing crowed of the Mille Miglia. The cover was taken of the Mondial, helmets getting prepared, checking the communication radio and off we went into the rain! Respect if you drive open in this weather. It surely is something else then my own coupe where it is dry and warm!

    haha yes! point is he is driving the rally for real and we just drive with them for a period of time. At all times we give the participants priority. Number 16 is also a Dutch Mondial.

    The next morning was time for rest and some laundry. Mondials do quite well for drying your laundry! :D We got some new bolts for the GT4 to fix the break disks. In the afternoon the journey goes on to Milan to visit the Alfa Romeo museum and to pick up a co-pilot. at the airport.

    It's actually useless to clean out your car on such trips like this. The next morning you will find sand and rocks again.

    I am really surprised on the comments I got on this trip. People where pleasantly positive on the go fast stripes on the Mondial. I actually do not really care if someone dislikes it as we have a lot of fun within the group. We got caught on Instagram and the comment is real fun! Not sure if he likes it or not :) but seeing the likes it must be meant in a good way.

    I see you drove the Tribute! That's neat! something I would like to do still. It's a pity the Tribute has a different starting location then the classics. Hope you enjoyed it!

    Thx Don!

    After having wondered around in the Alfa museum The Fast Fiat and myself separated from the group to pick someone up from the airport. It was bloody hot, nothing compared to the previous day and without A/C it was unbearable to stay in the car when standing still so on the way to our apartments we took shelter in the shade where we waited for the others, which didn't take long to gather under the same roof.

    To ease the comfort of the petrol station owner we all bought something from his shop after occupying the Diesel station for trucks for some time. :)
