Jim - lovely review. can't wait to witness the same. Just a few days left for me.
Flying out from Rome on Monday. Spending the night in Stuttgart, and 9am Tuesday morning, my wife, my brother (who is coming in from Berlin) and myself are all going to get GP 01986

Then a 500km drive to Italy, to spend the night close to the border, and then Wednesday morning another 500km heading home to Spoleto. Really excited
now all I need to do is make sure I keep it under 4500 rpm during the drive back home.. won't be easy.
