Posted 12 years 7 months ago #47234We will be arriving in Luino Varese on the 4th. We want to do the Stelvio on one day, and visit the Ferrari museum on another...
We will be leaving on the 11th to begin the journey home.
That's all the plans so far! :bust:
We are open to suggestions. :yesnod:

Posted 12 years 7 months ago #47309The Member who lives near Luino said he will be free in the period you arrive! And he looks for some other MG guy who can speak a good English.
I organize my days to come and meet your group, I would like to come when you are ready to run in South direction and drive with you to Maranello. There you can have a lot of things to do, as you know (visiting Ferrari Museum, having some short Ferrari test drive, testing some fantastic restaurants!) and we can have a Member of TF Passion Club, who is a Ferrari's engineer, as a tourist guide.
Now Clive wrote that there is some problem with his position in our forum, we are fixing it and he will be able to enter in a few time, so a great part of your group is inside and you can continue to ask us all what you want.
This sounds great to me! Having a local guide around Luino area must be a big plus and the Maranello day is starting to sound really exciting!
My reply to Gianluca,
Fantastic news Gianluca,
A local advisor in Luino would be brilliant!
If you have one day that you think will be best for visiting Maranello, please let us know.
As I have said, we have no day runs organised yet, so any day 5th -10th would be good.

Posted 12 years 6 months ago #49757Saying that, I just had to buy a spare alternator belt as it struck me that we might be the only car with AC and the spare I have won't fit. :slapme:
