    Sorry I have been absent for so long, but I am travelling so much I don't even know where I am now. Wait a moment... ok, I'm in Milan right now... I think. And next week it's Barcellona, and then.... :D TUSCANY (At last!!!).

    Simon, I see you have been spreading panic and false information :D :D please always look back through the thread, I have already written several detailed plans for the trip in the past.

    Anyway... I have realised that since last september my 550 has only covered 200Kms (shame on me!) :( it's just that I either don't have any time or it's raining when I do have time... :( This means I may not be so fast this year, I'll be fairly out of form. The 8 cylinder people need not worry! :D

    Vignette on board, fresh cambelts done, AC refilled, some other services as well. :)
    Therefore I feel competitive, but I'm out of practice like Andrea... ;)
    Guess, no danger for the 12-cylinder people this time. :D

    Usually those noises disappear if you drive a little bit faster.
    But oh, I forgot..... you cannot go any faster. You own a Testarossa.

    I'm back in form! Officially! Yesterday I had the immense privilege of driving in the Swiss mountains (St. Moritz to Livigno and back) with a group of... ENZOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Pictures will follow tomorrow).

    On the way back I found myself behind a black Enzo, we were alone in the mountain road leading back to Zernez... and oh boy did he go for it!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the DREAM of all drives - me in a 550 chasing an Enzo.... the SOUND reverberating through the forest was awesome! But the best part (for me) is that while I knew the road fairly well he didn't... so I managed to keep up with him quite easily!! :D :D :D :D

    So I'm officially back in top form - how many people can honestly claim to have stayed glued to the rear bumper of an ENZO on a twisty mountain road??? :D :D I even tried to overtake him once or twice, but the road wasn't wide enough...
