Now that's a good question. It could be something silly that by having them in shot from inside it's seen as them endorsing. But I can't really see much sense.

Got this one to watch later....The last series was really good so looking forward to sitting down and taking in Italy.......I see he has changed his GT though...SIlver one gone and replaced with a blue one.

Not sure about the Blue for the GT, it doesn't look quite balanced some how.

Don't understand the fuzzing out of the logos on the seats when the rest of the car is plain to see.

The chef guy locatelli is very into his cars. Did you see the episode when he hired the Ferrari, think it was a 458. Awesome emotion and he loves his Maserati's too.

 

[Parisien]

Italy is an awesome country on so many levels, but it appears with all good things come a whole host of negatives.........oh well......I keep my eyes open when visiting.

One huge failing is.....if you watched the fish soup/stew part were Locatelli said he'd go and buy the fish because when the vendor hears an English accent they would charge twice the price........why...why do the Italians do this?

I find it insulting, demeaning and a serious deficiency in Italians as a nation

When we used to do the Hadjj from Indonesia, the local bars used to TREBLE the price of beers when we were in town. We told them to ram their beer and bought it from the local shop. When we started drinking it on the front outside the bars, they dropped their prices to the local rate, we moved back into the bars and they made a killing because we drank a lot. Moral; they do it if they think they can get away with it.

 

[Parisien]

I don't want to have to teach locals the immorality of their ways....aint got the time, it just colours your view of peoples and in a negative way

[BennyD]

Absolutely, but we were there for 3 months so we had to teach them the error of their ways!

 

[Parisien]

...that sounds like a lot of beer, did they measure consumption in cubic metres every week??!!

[BennyD]

When the engineers came out to play it was almost cubic metres a night!
