3a TAPPE - PERGUSA TO MODICA... AND BACK AGAIN
Loads of cars to look at on Saturday morning: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471644826.1.jpg) For a bit of fun, I'll let you name the cars: YEAR / MAKE / MODEL. (Nobody can stop you google cheating, but where's the fun in that?) This car was to finish 6th in the final standings. Proof that regularities are about experience and not outright performance: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471644826.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471644827.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471644827.4.jpg) |

Yes it's a Merc, but do you know the YEAR and MODEL?

I wondered if this one might run on water:

This thing was patina-tastic, and made a fantastic noise:

This guy is a plastic surgeon from Rome.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645464.1.jpg) He said his silver car is a real one, found tucked away in Portugal. But looking at the exhaust, along with a bunch of other details... we were not sure... Plastic surgeons, eh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (Johnny's photo) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645582.1.jpg) |

We left the circuit behind the austrian 924 Turbo:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645724.1.jpg) We had a good view of this car over the event, and it's a pretty attractive proposition for rallies like this one 8) (Johnnys photos) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645724.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645724.3.jpg) Although in this heat I reckon his wife was missing the aircon, which kept fusing: (Johnny's Photo) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645725.4.jpg) |

It's was downhill to the next major checkpoint, and we caught the E up just as we came into town.
(Johnnys photo) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645836.1.jpg) (Johnnys photo) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645836.2.jpg) We had started the day with them, and in finishing with them for this the lunch stop, we somehow did OK on penalties: (Johnnys photo) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645836.3.jpg) It was another gravy train stop in a classical location. This place had a broad 1/2 mile long straight for a high street. Some people couldn't resist but make a spectacle: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645837.4.jpg) Nice E-Type: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645837.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645837.6.jpg) Flashy 356: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i13.photobucket.com-19057-1471645838.7.jpg) |

Letting lunch go down before setting off, the drag strip offered more cars to guess at, some dead easy, some not:

Getting a bit late here in the UK now: I'll post more of the rest of the trip tomorrow.
In the meantime, anybody want to try naming some of the cars I posted? Euro classics pop quiz time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Absolutely fantastico! Bella bella. Good on ya's. I could only dream of taking
that on. Great pics and very nice commentary. Thanks for posting this. Palermo is where my Great grandmother was from. More incentive to get back to the homelands. Cheers. |

Wow that was awesome to read (and look) through! I lived in Sicily, near Catania (looks like your trip didn't take you over there) when I was a boy. Just a few years in the early 80s. So I was able to spot the front ends of a pair of 70s Fiat Cinquecentos in a picture and of course a legendary Alfa Romeo Giulia (a Super I think) by itself in another picture. Those other older cars, I don't know. But they're cool! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Again, awesome trip!! I'd love to do that some day!
