    The extra 50 euro for full insurance cover was a no brainer

    You don’t need to tell me vinney, this was next years Morzine trip money, 600euro is optimistic lol. Its 750 after insurance.
    Its her 40th birthday present though, so worth it.

    Tonight is Ferrari hotel after the factory tour after lunch, then off to lake iseo for a week, then home via Chamonix and the chair lift there, then Troyes for a few days

    Apparently it was absolutely amazing! The video will make good watching I think, there was about 30 people watching in the shop when they were showing us

    Nice – we enjoyed the Ferrari museum in Modena a great deal but didn’t have time to get out to Marrenello or do one of the hire trips. MrsG tells me she would like a California!!

    We thought about the California as it would have meant me and my boy could have gone out too, but the Hurracane was another level of special and performance. It was just a spectacular thing of beauty

    I can’t wait till we get home to see the video, it was great watching.

    I believe it’s called Verde Ithica, but yes, very similar.

    The Hurracane looks fanastic especially in that colour. Green does suit them. Looks like a fanastic day out

    Been very impressed with air b n b for finding these places and the hosts. Awesome!

    So how much (or how little) was your wife allowed to drive the car? Have heard some places impose silly low speed and rev limits on these supercar experiences so you are basically trundling around at pedestrian speeds.

    probably quite sensible as most drivers won’t be able to handle 700bhp!

    That’s what tyre barriers are for.

    Do you think any of them cars are wheelchair adaptable? Will they take a bike with the front wheel removed?

    Looks like your having a great time, enjoy!

    Well whatever about 700bhp, but clearly Weeksy’s wife can handle 602bhp!

    I’ve seen MX-5’s as Motability cars, but I don’t think the disabilities involved needing a wheelchair, but you never know…

    Lunch at the lake. Seafood pasta was exceptional.

    Even a very strange bike with insane calipers

    We tried this place a few days ago and was exceptional, but tried a few other places, which in hindsight we should have just kept coming here.

    Lovely place, amazing food. We may come again tonight for our final meal before heading to Chamonix in the morning

    The seafood pasta was really a”what meal do you want if you’re a condemned man” type of meal
