Just wanted to drop a line here. Wow, lots of new people.

I'm sitting on top of one of the Cinque Terre hills here in Italy. I'm having a little too much fun here. The ladies are crazy. The food is great. The liquor is great. Everything is so fresh and healthy (food and ladies).

But to keep this on topic, lots of European cars of course. BMWs, AUDIs. No S2000s, but unless you're really well off, there's no way you'd want this car for a daily anything. Your car gets beat up around here.

In Monte Carlo, spotted several Ferraris, but the ones that really turned my head were several RS4s and near Cinque Terre, several S6 wagons. The RS4 is a very aggressive looking car. I remember dawging on it a while back, but now I see the photos do not do this car justice. And the seats in them say Recaro. At least in black S6 wagon that I saw.

Went to a Ferrari dealer in Monte Carlo as well. F50s, Modenas... just the regulars.

I'm tempted to go Euro now. Just kidding. S2000 in June! Not too much longer!

Hope all of you are doing well. Back home mid-April. Until then, ciao.

 

Hey Ben,

sounds like a good time! Have fun...

Man... Europe huh, I heard the party scene over there ws pretty crazy. Are you gonna check out the Autobahn, or Nuhremburg (sorry is spelled wrong)? Lucky guy. Take some pics of the cars and the ladies, and post em when you get back bro.

 

I found Italy dissapointing for car spotting. In the North there was plenty of class but all standard. Even at the Monza F1 GP only saw five black Ferraris worth looking at. In three weeks and lots of miles in lots of cities I didn't see a single S2000 not even up north near the borders with France and Germany.

Had the traffic light system explanied to me by a Naples resident after I was honked by a truck for stopping at a red light - Red means hesitate, green means hesitate but honk if anyone is coming through the red, and the yellow is because Italians like colour. I also found that "Uno Momento" works when parking illegaly in the main street of Messina. Everyone warned us about driving in Italy, that was easy, it was the parking that was impossible.

 

Hey SpaceNeedle, if you have the chance to visit Portugal, don

 

Sweet! I wonder if that would work here in the states? <big grin>
