I keep checking on the car (parked in front of the hotel) every 3 hours, and Rennlist from time to time in between relaxing and enjoying a good book when not on the road

I will do a full recap for anyone interested after the trip is over but here are a couple teaser shots (picture order might come out jumbled)

Thanks everyone for the kind words, happy to share some pics with you guys and keep you all at bay until the trip is complete for the full recap. I have low willpower, you'll end up squeezing me for all the pictures I have taken so far LOL. I still can't believe that I got the car, and in Europe no less....what an experience....feel very very grateful

The front plate as others said is velcro taped onto the front bumper, when you do your ED paperwork they ask if you want the bumper drilled per your state's requirements for the US (thankfully) and said no!

The car is amazing. it's my first GT car so it's more than likely I am just enamored with it and think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, well actually it is. wow.... Drove the last two days over 6 hours straight each day and all I wanted to do was get back in the car when we arrived at each destination. It's the perfect car in my eyes, I love the fine line it walks perfectly between full blown race car and grand tourer in my opinion. Looks wise feel the same way.

She's 3 days old, filthy with no PPF yet, already hit over 140 MPH, and already over 1200 KM on the odometer

Sampelligrino,

Enjoy La Chevre d'Or. One of the best places to go.

I wrapped mine up very well. 15 year wedding anniversary - I got a car and she got the trip to Italy she wanted.
If you drive fast enough (which you can do a lot better than I can) - they are too scared to get car sick
