while over here in Italy we made a last minute trip from Milano over to Brescia to see the start of the Mille Miglia. The Ferrari pre-tour started first at 6:30 PM. Saw Onno going around the curve in town right after the start. the car looked great. There were 3 other GTCs and a couple 330 GTSs, and a few other beautiful vintage FCars.
Hope his electrical conditions righted themselves.

Mille Miglia was great again!
Took a picture of Onno in Sirmione. There were lots of F40's, Enzo's (great!!) but sadly too many California's, Scuds and 16M's. But also a 288GTO, 275GTB's, fantastic 250LM (!!!), Daytona's and some other cool classics. I missed the fabulous looking 250GT SWB, but could see it driving past the restaurant we were having dinner. :-)

Hi guys,
what a crazy few days we have had!!! A week, actually. Things went wrong with the car but in the end it was resolved and we arrived in Brescia yesterday evening. I'm going through some of the pics and I shot tons of on-board video. Most special? a) the arrival in Rome and the little chat with Luca di M. about my car, and b) the best drive of my life - behind a well-driven 275GTB on one of the best roads I've ever driven, with no other traffic. It was divine!! I will put some of it on my YouTube channel later, when I've gone through the on-board video stuff. Driving on the Imola and Fiorano tracks was great too. I suppose a special mention is also due for the car, during the race she performed great and she was an absolute joy to drive. It was just so overwhelming, just fantastic. I'll post some updates later, too much to go through right now. Onno

Here's a shot or two we bought from a professional service offered during the rally. I just love the shot taken at Imola! Hard to see but the expression on our faces on the picture with the girls is also priceless - as we arrived in the town the whole stage was in blue smoke with a soprano singing. We then drove into the blue smoke and these girls appeared, we were (pleasantly) shocked!

Sorry Fred, didn't have time to sort out the video. I'm back in the African jungle now, so uploading to YouTube is not going to happen until I get back. You'll have to wait for 4 weeks, most likely. But I'll definitely try and make time and edit something nice together.

I just LOVE Bugattis, so that would have been such a cool day to be present. In fact, I promised myself I would be. But unfortunately the timing was too awkward. For some reason, we need to go out and earn a living at some point. Whoever came up with that idea - I'm not a fan!!! Onno

Get with the times, my friend! Working is so mundane and passe. Credit is the way to go! But having to give up one Sayurday for all the fun you've been having seems a small price to pay:-) Bugs are fun, I'll never forget my first ride.

Beautiful car, I've always liked the 330GTC, great color as well. Nice to see that there are cars like these around in NL!

Thanks! You have esteemed friends with the same taste: Luca di Montezemolo looked at my car in Rome and said "I love dee kolor!".
All credit to the previous owner who chose it, it is not the original colour. That was Grigio Azzurro, of which I'm still struggling to find a picture. It should be a very light greyish-blue, almost white. The original interior was blue. In 1982/3 the first owner changed the car to white with white interior and black bumpers (must have been doing too much coke, as this was in Hollywood), and then the second owner changed to red/black in 1984, and then finally restored by the previous owner in 1990 to current spec. Which is Blu Sera/Nero. Onno

Yes, this is a thing I'm trying to get done but work always gets in the way. I'm really hoping this weekend I'll find a little time. At least I'll be in Holland with a decent internet connection to upload it.
In the meantime I've written an article on the MMT experience this week for the Ferrari Life Quarterly, I'll need to sort out some pics for that as well. Onno

Nothing to do with me, not sure why you posted this in my thread. Looks nice enough, though.
