And Chris - go easy one the wine

Nope, my brain just cannot work that sentence out

Nice ride by the way, I left a comment on your other thread. Good time?

Ok - I should probably say, lets do a head count at various point in case we lose anyone. Sounds like a place out of resident evil.

I would second that, very atmospheric. Took the wife and she kept thinking the lovely dogs from the film would turn up. Of course I was very reassuring

Stunning! We were mainly around the Emilia Romagna area and also Tuscany for the last 2 days. Great hotels, great food and the transport was none too shabby Got to go around the Lambo museum when we arrived and did a tour of the factory when we took the car back this morning. Excellent time

To say I was jealous would be a HUGE understatement

Hi all - just got back from 6 great day in Italy driving the Lambo Gallardo for an article my good lady is writing. Damm - I've still not calmed down enough yet to process all the pics but did do one The car is AWESOME to drive and the Lambo people were beyond helpful.

Beautiful shot - how did you light this? The Light is very smooth - makes the car almost look like it has a satin finish.

Still can't believe it myself. Will post more pics when I get the chance.

Actually, the car is a special matt white that they do and yes, it looks like satin or pearl. The lighting was natural - just your bog standard stormy evening. It p*ssed down shortly after. The luggage space is SO small in that car that we had not space to take any flashes. Spent 6 days wearing the same clothes!

Darn, I was going to buy one just then until you mentioned that

I'd wear the same clothes to muck about in that for a week. This must've been early on in the trip as it's still very clean.

Man thats a great shot and yeah I envy you! I went shooting in Tuscany last year and would have loved to have spent more time there driving down those windy roads.
