Reims is to the east of Paris. It's a good place to stop off at for lunch if you're heading from Calais towards Switzerland or the Black Forest.

Good work, Enzo, and very gratifying too, I should imagine.

Bet she looks the dog's nuts with the new wheels and fresh calipers. Are you going to BIAMF? Be good to see you and the car there.

Thank you Adam,
yes, very gratifying getting her to a reasonable standard, here are a couple of shots I took today of the calipers and wheels,

Enzo, if i'm not mistaken it's somewhere in France, where the guys attend the LeMans and part of the road was previously a racetrack. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

But yes, this pic is a trademark of the Sportsmaserati forum.

Hi Chris, yes we had a great trip...
Folkestone to Calais on the Eurotunnel, then on to Beaune via Rheims,
Beaune to Geneva,
Geneva to Luzern,
Luzerne to Offenburg,
Offenburg to Calais to catch the Eurotunnel back.

A wonderful mix of fast roads, mountain passes, good food, ahhhhh, wish I was planning another trip :D

Had a run in a 550 on a track day, with a track driver giving it everything he could to try and impress..!! Quick car, but this one was bottoming out on hard corners and felt a bit sloppy, but nice to be in..!!
