Me and a mate recently took a short break to Italy for a week on the 9th - 16th september. The main purpose was of the holiday was of course Drinking :drunk: Oh sorry I meant cars :drive1 We went to watch the F1 Monza grand prix, sorted the grandstand tickets @ Ascari before we went which was a good shout as it was totally full on the Saturday & Sunday, I could be here all-day writing about it but everyone knows a picture can say a thousand words, :drive1 or somthing like that ;)

After the exciting weekend of drinking, sorry racing. It was time to head from Milan to Rome and what better way to travel than

via a hire car, (everyone knows that nothing handles like a rental)

 

So we hired ourselves a Lancia Delta Integrale & set about our 750km rally, I mean cruise :drive1

The high powered 2litre turbo charged engine provided plenty of power through the twistys of the mountains

MilantoRome94.jpg

the free reving engine allowed us to get the power down early out of the bends

And Maggie kept us heading in the right direction, hot women & cold beer, I mean Roma

MilantoRome41.jpg

The Inegrale ploughed past the Jap crap so called sports cars

Even the brittish ones didnt stand a chance

We then thought we had met our match, an old school fiat 500 with flames on the bonnet, but the torque just pulled us through

The soft compound tyres helped with the high speed bends

MilantoRome62.jpg

But you cant beat the sound through a tunnel at warp speed

MilantoRome44.jpg

We even overtook the euro star

MilantoRome103.jpg

We got to Roma in record time,

When in Roma amongst all the drinking we did find time to have a peek at some of the sights B)

Top photo's and very :lol:

 

You done well with some of the F1 shots, caught some great action.

 

I also love the warp speed shots.... I didn't realise the Intergrale was that quick!! ;)

 

The ending photo's were clearly what made the trip worth it :lol:

The F1 shots were quite difficult as the cars are doing over 200mph towards the corner :scare:

 

The whole trip was awesome, Cars, Food, Culture, Sites, Women. Would definitely go back to Rome, a very beautiful city, met some great people there too

 

been to rome twice already. and venice, and bari and napoli and florence and trento.
