Hi guys!!
I've just come back from a five day trip to Rome. Damn, I saw some nice cars, although the conditions for taking pics were usually awful (yeah, yeah, I know, there is ALWAYS an excuse
). I didn't have a lens filter with me and the reflections were horrible.
I visited the only Aston Martin dealer in Rome (one of only 3 in Italy) which turned out to be a small triangular shaped room with two cars (DB9 coupe & cabrio) and a small desk. They also had a Vanquish S, but they kept it in the garage. I also had a chat with two americans from Texas next to the red F430 and they told me where the Lambo dealer was. Unfortunatelly they only had two Gallardos (yellow & silver) but no Murcielago :/ I also wal;ked past a Bentley dealer, but they are a pretty common sight in Rome. Anyways, good to be back, and here are a few interesting cars I saw (just one of each for now, I'll post more later).
AM DB9:
AM DB9 Cabrio:
Bentley Conti GT (booooooooooooring):
BMW M6 (Outside the preisdents mansion, nothing but Mercedes and BMW limos...and then this!!):
Ferrari 456 (chased this one for about a kilometre, it finally stopped at some traffic lights)
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (honestly, this car almost run me over):
Ferrari 430 (my very first!!)
Ferrari 430 Spider (this car got some serious attention amongst Italian girls):
Lambo Gallardo (I gotta learn how to take night shots :/ )
Lotus Esprit:
Maserati 3200 (just outside the Colloseum):
Maserati Quattroporte:
Porsche 993 Carrera 4 (rare colour):
Porsche 996 Carrera:
Porsche 996 Carrera 4S:

Renault Clio V6:
I was also lucky enough to see some old italian cars during an annual meeting. Unfotunatelly I only had few MB's in my memorystick left :/ On display were 2 Dino's, a 348 a 512BB etc.
And can anybody tell me anything more about this car ?? (I've already googled for Antas V8 )
