    12 liter engine oil Castrol 10W60
    9.5 liter gear box oil
    All else perfect and the beast is ready again to hit the road:)

    enjoy the pics

    (sorry about the last pic, yeah thats NOT all but the road was very busy in the afternoon and I couldn`t do better with so much traffic;))

    Great pics Wolgang - but I couldn't see if you replaced your tires. I remember you had problems with the Pirelli P Zeros last year on the Serravalle curves? What tires are you going to use for this year's trip?

    Andrea,
    The problem with the Pirelli P Zero is solved and NOT solved :(
    After the Tuscany drive last year, I went immediately to m< garage and told him about the ***** tyres and understeering.
    I have bought a set of Pirellis with the wrong temperature and for the US (?) market. They do produce different tyres for different countries with different temp. signs?!?!?
    Honest, never heared about this before. But he showed me the temp. sign on my tyres. Well, bought another set for the european market........but still the same problem and I can`t feel any difference - still heavy understeering and no grip at all :( Now, I don`t want to buy the next 1.000,- set before the rubber has gone. Have to drive 5.000km for the next set but would like to move to Bridgestone now.
    Any advices? Michelin? Bridgestone?

    Yours
    Wolfgang

    And do me a favour. Don't photograph yourself at 300+ km/hr. There is nothing to prove. We rather keep you some longer on this board!

    Yes, please feel free:) I wanna learn something from a educated Peee driver;)

    Serious, ask Andrea who drove behind (and sometimes in front of;)) me.
    The TR went straight in very fast curves and got horrible understerring!!!
    The first set of tires on my TR was a Bridgestone set without any problems of oversteering - perfect, always wonderful and perfect. Sadly the set f***** off after only 3.000km`s:( Thats why I bought the Pirellis.......a fault!
