Nicola, Benvenuti nel forum. Congratulazioni per la nuova vettura. Dovrebbe essere una bellezza.

Nice. Where in Italy? I just did a BMW European delivery last month and spent time at Lake Como and Tuscany (where I will live my next life).

Hi Nicola and welcome! Your car looks fantastic. I’ve been pining for a yellow Carrera as of late. Keep us posted!

If I won the power ball, I would pay for 10 of us to travel to Europe for a week and drive around the passes in 911s.

I'm sure you have seen this video. It is awe inspiring.

Thanks, see Lambos or Ferraris is more difficult in "these days" also in Italy (maybe in Montecarlo), here the suvs win easily and probably its the time for Maserati (Ghibli and Levante) or the Alfa "come back" with a lot of Giulia or Stelvio...but I can tell you, some years ago you can saw Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari, etc in the streets, but now after crisis a lot of people stopped to make leasing or similar method because the financial police is very active now (finally)

Before a person declared a very low income but maybe he had a supercar...

Reggio Emilia, near Bologna (north Italy), the homeland of tortellini, lambrusco, erbazzone, lasagne, tagliatelle, parmigiano reggiano (directly from Reggio Emilia...reggiano...and Parma...parmigiano)...in reggio emilia "tricolore£ (italian flag) was born in 1797

one of the many squares in town


In Tuscany i have sea house in Versilia (fantastic place because there are sea very near to mountains), near Forte dei Marmi (Lucca) fantastic country full of hills, good meat, good fish and very goos wine...chianti, sassicaia, ornellaia...lovely place is Bolgheri, advice for everyone, it's a phenomenal village full of old wine shops and full of romantic restaurant...

There are BMW guys that do this sort of thing - scheduling their ED as a group. BMW even helps coordinate things. Similar with Porsche would be very cool.

I think we have 1 in 295 million chance of winning. Prepared to be struck by lightening while swimming upside down.
What kind of $173M winning cheapskate would leave out the vehicles?

That’s the spirit!
Alternatively, we can line up the schedules and crash Italy anyway, with or without the lottery winnings.
Not sure I would splurge for a 911 rental though
