What better way to start another trip overseas?
Yep, you guessed it...give Vic a helping hand to re glue a sagging headliner. Our efforts had the job completed in a few hours, and with a few more in curing time we were ready for my first cruise.
A familiar stop to the Furlo gap and into the Apennines along twisty mountain roads was the perfect start to stretch the Europa's legs. The plan again was to stay away from the busy highways and concentrate on those roads less traveled.
Heads turned frequently in curiosity and admiration of this little plastic noisemaker, and
the occasional stop for coffee or petrol always attracted a crowd. At one point, we were forced to pull over as a grammar school was letting out. The youngsters were all smiles and fascinated as we spent a few minutes chatting and taking the required selfies.
Day trips included a beach run along the Adriatic coast and a mountain jaunt to the hills of Sassoferrato just west of Ancona. Alas, the Ferrari's came up short at Monza and the auto jumble at Imola didn't produce the Ducati part we were looking for...so I ended up adding another four 1/43 scale Lotus F1 cars to my collection.
Another great trip, highlighted by my niece's wedding at a vineyard in Urbino with family and friends!
