Helo everybody! I was kinda away these days and even my website wasn't update as usually! And you know why? because at the very last moment I discovered about an interesting event and had to be there! it took place in Milano, Monza racetrack to be precise. I found out basically Wednesday thanks to a guy posting a picture and a car list on a french board. I quickly gathered infos, the event sounded interesting and 4 Miuras were announced. I almost decided, but it's still a 4 hours drive.. I contacted their press office just in case and I was informed there wouldn't be many ppl in Monza and that they could give me a press pass. So it was set. Less than 48 later I woke up at 3 am in the morning to be in Monza at 8 am! I arrived earler, at 7 am actually I can assure you it is surreal to be able to access the paddocks in the early morning.. it's like having access to a deserted Area 51

nobdoy around, the gate not fully open, you drive there.. for the ones that went there for a GP, you know how cool it is that park with all the small roads.. usually you walk there with 2 bilions other ppl while Friday morning I was all alone.. surreal, really! I actually arrived to early that only 3 members of the staff and some marshalls where there LOL!

Then ppl began to arrive, I realized pretty quickly that the event is BIG! The staff's fleet was something impressive! Around 40 new Alfa Romeos, several Brera, 159, 156 Q4, 147 GTA and on and on and on! Shit, it looked like a Tour de France!
Anyway, long story short, 240 cars attended, and beside the drivers and co-drivers there was fucking nobody! To be able to take pictures of a Miura in an empty carpark was a dream of mine, and I got them! I got also pics in an empty pitlane, which is another crazy thing! Sadly "only" 3 Miuras attended, but it was totally worth the effort!

So, some previews

95% of the cars in this picture

Some Alfas I never seen like this stunning 1900 Disco Volante

I hope you'll enjoy the pics as much as I enjoyed taking them! Considering all the meetings I attended, one of the best ones IMO, on a legendary track, many rare cars, no public... I think it was probably just a dream

Oh and if in the next days you'll see my pics on supercars.net with no watermark, resized and with their addy on them, it's normal

it's a collaboration and let's say I got compensation for this
