It really requires a red and some pasta but I can't drink red so it'd have to be white and a nice seafood pasta made outside on the camping stove  Grin

I can cook... sounds like an adventure...

Just got up, not very well, at a party until 6.00 this morning, might have drunk toooooooo much. My wife has just told me she has made a prawn and salmon sandwich for me. better go and face it I suppose. Feel as rough as a bears ars....

Better start the year as you mean to go on I suppose.

Happy New Year to you all. Quite lucid considering....  why does excess alcohol have such a strange effect?

It sounds like fun doesn't it.....I've never been to Italy, I wonder how we'd go about putting something like that together?

Love to take part in something a bit more sensible, like a 500 Abarth. Grin

But I seem to remember on the programme they said the entry fee was £8000. Shocked

you just get as much fun following the 'rally' around over the week. 
Indeed following it is just as much fun.
I bought a book some years ago called Mille Miglia, 1000 miles for connoisseurs, which outlines the rally, the course and describes the 25 or so best hotels and restaurants to visit along the way.

When I've the budget and time that would be my ideal Italian holiday  Wink

it can be done cheaply, Italian street food is excellent, the group i was with there were a couple who got fed up with the pasta!!! it's in the diary for 2011.  the drive to and from Italy is something also.

We were thinking 2011, 2010 for the Classic and then a road trip for 2011, it looks like a fab trip  Grin

I think I might have to carry out a Full service of the 'Sixfire' and have a 'practice' sesion before I even think of it. But a 2ltr straight with straight thru's going through tunnels sounds like a MUST.
