OLLIE 26 Report post Posted May 7, 2006 You were so close and didn't make time to get to Maranello! What happened to the picture of the new Lada touring car? do you mean Monza? was going to go to Monza to check out the track but went to Venice Instead. It would've been good to go to Modena and tour the Ferrari factory.Sorry only got a pic of the bmw, too many people around Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cainchapman 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2006 (edited) No, Monza is North of Milan. Maranello is the home of Ferrari, not Modena. Modena is the province that it is in and why Ferrari's have yellow as a colour (Modena's colours). http://www.galleria.ferrari.com/galleria/i...anguage=ENGLISH You can't get into the factory without an invite. It was hard enough to get in with an invite, the general public have no chance. Standing in front of the factory and watching the test pilots bring each new car off the line and out the front gate is worth it. Galleria Ferrari is awesome.
