What do you do when in the home of the Ferrari? You drive one and surprise, surprise that's what Grant did.
|
It was a RED CALIFORNIAN FERRARI - hot and ready to go ........... |
|
Grant was heading for the ride of his life ............ |
Some 30 minutes after our arrival at Pit Lane, Grant was in the seat and heading off for the drive of his life !! and with Helena scrunched up in the back seat we roared around the streets of Marenello for some 30 minutes and just in case we were tempted to leave our little home on wheels and take off a driver came with us and gave us directions to the various roads we could try.
|
Here's the proof .................... |
It was nerve wracking to start with but Grant soon had the car under control and we whizzed around with the sound of power roaring in our ears. We had the top up and it was a little slippery on some tight corners due to light drizzle. The leather seats smelt good and steering wheel fitted Grants hands like a glove.
|
A ride never to forget |
Heading back to the starting point we then visited the Ferrari Museum, the exhibition hall, the hall of Victories, viewed engine parts, photos of car assembly lines and looked at new and old cars on display. It was fantastic.

Some of the older stars |
|
The hall of fame and the cars that were winners |
Thinking of our Adelaide family and friends we left a parting message for the two who would most appreciate seeing and feeling the power of the red Ferrari. David Perry and Jason Brown.
A new appreciation of the Ferrari.
