Wow! I'm back, what a great night, arrived at the Rome finish podium around 4.30 whilst they were still setting up, told to expect the start of the cars around 8.30, well Italians don't do time! So camera at the ready we managed to secure a good front row position around 8pm ready and waiting, at about 9pm the first cars started to arrive, around 50 modern Ferraris, then half an hour later quite a lot of modern Mercs, eventually the first classic arrived, followed by another and another, it's amazing how blaze' you get whilst surrounded by so many super cars, at first it's oh look a Bugatti, then after another four or five come in you find yourself sighing and looking for something else, maybe a 300sl or two? Or five or six!!
A smattering of Alpha Romeos and others I had no idea what they were, a few Fiat Topolino's and oh yes Blower Bentleys, of course I took lots of pictures of Porsche's, when I figure out how to get them on here!!!
The girly in me really wanted to see David Gandy, ahhhhh and James Martin in the Jags they were driving, but don't know what happened but we left around midnight after a long gap of nothing coming in, so didn't get to see them.
After I found out they came in around 3am, no ones worth waiting that long for.
One of the highlights of the night was seeing Sir Stirling Moss drive up, and on being asked what it was like after 60 years, he replied, " well I'm 60 years older!" I hope I'm as good at his age, if I get there.
Anyway, I'll now try to post some pictures for you all.
Bear with me they may be in dribs n drabs, but I'll get there.
Julie.
