Now, the exciting thing about this Italian Job thingie is not really what you do when you're there (although driving on the F1 circuit at Imola will be very cool), but instead its the getting there. When we arrive in Imola, we'll have service trucks and engineers on hand to heal the car's woes. However, there isn't any similar help on the way down, you're on your own if you break down. In parallel with this, you're up against the clock. We're leaving late on the 28th October - and we need to be there early morning saturday 1st November. Its about 1000 miles in approx 20 consecutive hours of driving. I work that out to an average speed of 50 miles per hour. Gina does about 55-60 mph (when not going uphill). Its going to be interesting, to say the least. |

look I'm sorry but that pretty paint don't hide whats under the bonnet. You'd be better off hiring a 4- wheeler and towing it around the course! PS> It looks great! |
