Bella Italia tour

Post by Erik Barrett » Mon Sep 11, 2023 1:32 pm

A couple California guys joined some T friends from Germany and we are on an epic tour of Italy for two weeks. We started at lake Garda in northern Italy and toured to Genoa. Loaded the cars and took the ferry to Palermo on the island of Sicily. Today we drove nearly the length of Sicily. Will post pics as I can.

Had a couple issues on day three. Wheel bearing problem and a cam gear came loose. These are the same cars that made the trip across the United States last year.

Seems like they need to work on their maintenance skills.

Keep the pictures coming.

Susanne waves back! ;-)

No better place to drive a T - a lot of the roads are very similar to whay Henry's ladies drove on in their heyday. (Reminds me - anyone in the EU have a car for sale?? 8-) )

Anyway, I am jealous, no better way (or speed) to enjoy our beautiful country. Just be careful - speeds here are higher than across the pond. At least drivers here seem to be more attentative... and on our back roads, a T's speeds and suspension seems just about perfect!
