Hi guys!!
I've just come back from a five day trip to Rome. Damn, I saw some nice cars, although the conditions for taking pics were usually awful (yeah, yeah, I know, there is ALWAYS an excuse ;) ). I didn't have a lens filter with me and the reflections were horrible.
I visited the only Aston Martin dealer in Rome (one of only 3 in Italy) which turned out to be a small triangular shaped room with two cars (DB9 coupe & cabrio) and a small desk. They also had a Vanquish S, but they kept it in the garage. I also had a chat with two americans from Texas next to the red F430 and they told me where the Lambo dealer was. Unfortunatelly they only had two Gallardos (yellow & silver) but no Murcielago :/ I also wal;ked past a Bentley dealer, but they are a pretty common sight in Rome. Anyways, good to be back, and here are a few interesting cars I saw (just one of each for now, I'll post more later).
