I was pissed when I got home because I was in Lugano and Monza was about an hour or so away and it hadn't crossed my mind to go see. Would have gladly added that to the day's activities just to have a peek and the old banking, especially since Jim Garner just passed away this week. Next time.
We drove down to Lugano (and back) from Lauterbrunnen over the Susten Pass and there must have been 200 motorcycles out there! Another bucket-list item.
Was pining for my Cab over there too. Saw several nice air-cooled 911s and wished I was in one. |
Driving in Italy is great. Its Bangkok where Im just not game, but its much better now than it used to be.
In Italy, especially regional Italy, there are so many, many great roads, perfect roads. Empty roads. Its magic. The Italians can all drive and are very cool about other people wanting to go fast. Unlike where I live....Once, we set off up yet another perfect mountain road leading yet another fortified village in an Alfa, only to happen upon a taxi- with a fare on board. He saw me coming up fast, and he offed. Fare or not, I couldn't catch him, and its was 10 miles of fantastic driving. We got to the top, had a chat through the windows, he was laughing, the paying passenger was laughing, the smell of cooked brakes filling the cars. Just great fun.
Im going to Bangkok next week, wont be driving....
