Planning on going to Europe while we still have a little bit of money left before the wife starts her new job (100% commision based which scares the living $hit out of me...)
anyways..... What would be the ideal way to see/do as much as possible in these two weeks? A trip to the Porsche Factory is a must on my list....do I have to make reservations? Am I asking too much to visit more than 2 or 3 countries while over there? On the list for sure...England, Germany and Italy |

If your in Italy the big exoctic manufacturers are all pretty close to each other.
Maserati is in Modena, Lamborghini’s factory is in Bologna and Ferarri in Maranello. Tours are limited and typically not open to general public, but Ferrri has a cool Museum. When I was outside the Ferrari factory an Enzo prototype flew by me - I was quick on the draw and got one of the early pictures of this car back in 2002. Great mountain roads just outside Maranello all the way to the Italian coast. I chased a Lotus Elise in my rented 5 speed Opel Corsa down the mountians from Abatone to Maranello. A drive my wife wont ever let me forget! Have a great time! I lover italy. The Tuscany region of Italy is a great place to spend time. Great hill towns outstanding food and wonderful people. |
