Italian auto – Visual stimulation.

in TRAVEL JOURNALS, Italy, Europe country journal

on 8th September 2014

Play Pause Unmute Mute

The lifestyle of the unemployed.

There’s those with unlimited funds, no boring 9 to 5ér. Those are the upper class crust who does not need to work, the well heeled life of the unemployed. The people who enjoy the lazy pampered life on a yacht in the Mediterranean or sipping on an espresso or wine spritzer on a Wednesday morning in Monaco.

For a brief moment a vicarious thrill into the life of the rich and their luxuries.

 

Travelling Italy there is just no way petrolheads can miss the region with the most visually stimulating bodies in the world. Motorcycles and car bodies! No other nation in the world can boast the kind of flair and sexapeal that the Italian brand of cars and motorcycles parade and with as much exclusive heritage. We were able to visit Vespa, Lamborghini, Ferrari and Ducati in one day.  There’s your average  BMW or Merc poverty spec new car smell and then there’s Ferrari and Lamborghini new car smell. Their smell is of the gods.

This is rapper style rubber. Kraaifontein and Danville oke’s will give their front teeth for a set of these.

Ferrari, Vespa, Ducati and Lamborghini all a mere 150km radius. Can be visited in a day.

” Inaugurated in 2001, the Lamborghini Museum reviews all the important milestones reached by the House of the Raging Bull, with a foray into the past that has a strong emotional impact on fans of luxury super sports cars. The Murciélago was the first masterpiece displayed in this inspiring location in Italy’s Motor Valley. At its side gallops a broad collection that includes the Miura S and its iconic “eyelashes”, the 350 GT, the Countach S, the Jalpa, the Espada, the Sesto Elemento, the Reventón and the other exclusive supercars that have turned the Raging Bull into a legend. Engines, models and photos help provide visitors with a complete overview of the history of this automotive saga, which is continuing in the slipstream of Ferruccio Lamborghini’s first visionary idea.”

Admission is around 13euro’s per person and factory tours must be arranged.

While we were drooling over the cars this Lamborghini was rolled into the museum covered in dirt just back from the Peking to Paris rally.

    Warm greetings.

    I saw your blog https://www.pikipikioverland.com and I thought to invite to stay at our Syokimau Safari Homestay next time you travel to Nairobi, Kenya.

    Syokimau Safari Homestay is a family operated home stay at Syokimau, Kenya. We are located at Syokimau, off Mombasa Road 20 minutes from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (Code: NBO). We provide overland travelers, adventure bikers, gap year adventurers and backpackers with a restful guesthouse to relax, refresh and restock ahead of the next stage of their journey. Our accommodation in a small two bedroom guest house.

    My husband is a Vespa aficionado though he doesn’t own one. Consider us biker traveler friendly.

    Yours truly
    Rosemary Ndunge
