ED Just Completed

Zippy69 · 10-20-2011, 12:47 PM

Just completed my ED on my VO 1 M Coupe for the past 2 weeks. Traveled 1610 miles in 5 countries and drove on many Mt passes. Top speed reached 150 mph. My wife and I tried to ft in as much as possible and had a great experience.

Itinerary was:
Munich (Octoberfest last day, ED, Welt and factory tour and M division next morning),
Innsbruck,
Davos,
St Moritz (VIA 5 Mt. passes including Umbrail and Stelvio),
Bellagio, (took senic route over Mt. to Como on some hairy roads!)
Como,
Venice, (2 days, got lost LOL)
Fumane (wine tour Allegrini)
Bologna (with Lamborghini factory & museum tour along the way)
Tuscany (2 days spend blasting around the hills and wine tasting)
Genova (Party town!)
Cannes (via Col Du Torini and spectating at rally race)
Nice (drop car and fly home)

Loved Venice, but my friend and I got SO lost walking through the city. Personally I think the street plan is just a way to screw with tourists.

Also, did Col du Turini last year, and it was spectacular. Sounds like you had a great trip!

WOW... that's doing it right.... what an awesome itinerary... hopefully I can do ED again someday and spend 2 weeks... my 6 day experience was fantastic.

Zippy69 · 10-20-2011, 08:39 PM

Was an awsome trip. Venice is a maze!
Schedule was very aggressive. Wish had more time. Will post pics once I download and sort thru 1000 photos.

Congrats, next summer Im gonna take the south route like you

You hit Lambo but not Ferrari?

Zippy69 · 10-21-2011, 05:28 PM

I looked into a tour at Ferrari and was advised that they only availiable to Ferrari owners! I love the 458 but in a drag race the new Lambo Aventador will give it a run. Lambo tour was fantastic. Ferrari continues to be full of themselves.

Yes its true about the tour, you have to know someone or own the car. They have a museum/gallery though. I agree they are full of themselves but Im a Lambo guy anyway.

Thx was a great time.

The color is better in real life than in photos. It really changes color dependant upon lighting conditions. Everybody on Autobahn and Autostradas could see me comming that's for sure.
