Looks like you covered a similar area as I did a few months back (and miles :) ).

Did you do the factory tour?  I really enjoyed that one - and we had similar weather as well.

Yup they all do it in August.

I know really wanted to do it. Did the jaguar one a few years ago which was interesting.

Also did the lotus one but that was more like walking around one of your garages, in fact, your garages are probably smarter!!

Great pic

Yeah did that too,twice in fact although that wasn't intentional

Also did Col De Torini and St bernardino one among others

Brakes are now fucked along with a 150mph to 0 stop on the autobahn when apparently that looked like a good place to stop for lunch...
