..the historic race....not the wheels you rube! :-)

Just got in from a ten day trip to Italy with my wife. We spent most of our time there kickin' back in Greve in Chianti located in Tuscany. After four days there we ventured out to Florence, Milan, Bormio, etc. I went to the Mille Miglia in Brescia on May 17th and took a ton of pictures. The Audi Tradition guys were out in force. Here's a few of them.....Auto Union cars, of course! ;-)

BTW, Driving was a blast. I had intentions of running the Passo Stelvio, but it was closed due to snow. I ended up running the Gotthard, Spluga, Bernina, and Maloggia (x4, it's a short one).

Some of the pics are from the Swiss side of the Alps, as we did hit St. Moritz and Thal (on the Bodensee) for a couple of nights.

Sounds like a nice trip! Anything interesting for the rental car? Any hanging out of the window at 140 mph stories?

.....Maserati, Bugatti, Lagonda, Bentley, Aston, Triumph, Jaguar, Zagato, Shelby and many more.

Nope, no sitting on the window sill at 160mph grasping a video camera down the Mulsanne Straight on this trip......my wife was traveling with me.

My buddy snapped a picture of me driving the rental car.
