Maranello, driving a 599 and a 458 Italia for 1.5 hours through the Maranello Hillside.

Just photos from us taking off, have in-car and go-pro footage to load up of the drive.

Great stuff mate. Looking forward to seeing more.

I have tears of joy followed by the bitter taste of jealousy. ;)

Nice trip :)

I have 6 thousand photos, so this is very select few. Not to mention hours of go-pro footage to edit :)

I'll be adding more video and photos in the next few months as I sort it out.

1st post updated with Ferrari love, more to come if anyone is interested :)

Tell us a bit more about the Maranello Test Drive.

Really awesome mate. I love shots of F1...the upskirts shot of the girl in the pink strips was a bit blurry and not close enough though.

Just a slight bit of jealousy looking at your pics ;)

[QUOTE=BLUES;700027]Tell us a bit more about the Maranello Test Drive.[/QUOTE]

Will upload the video, just have to edit it, 1.5hours worth so need to trim it down. But in a nutshell, next to the Ferrari museum is the pit-lane Ferrari hire store, they have about 8 Ferraris. We knocked off about 250euro off the total price with some bargaining and got the 599 and the 458 Italia.
We started with a 45 minute highway run, no speed limits (for us) just cruising down the highway at 200+. I was lucky enough to have the 599 at this point the V12 power horse. When the 'instructors' thought we were game enough to tackle the hillside we swapped and I got into the 458, and what can I say about it... The most amazing thing I have ever felt, words cant describe it.
We climbed some of the mountain up to a coffee shop where Jeremy and the Top Gear boys famously stopped off in one of their episodes (Not sure which one yet.) Then the descent started, following the same route the Ferrari test track drivers take before they sign off on a car we wound down the hills as fast as we could taking it up to 9 thousand revs throwing it into corners (Traction was on 100% of course and this thing was planted like you would never imagine.) Cars actually pull over to let you past up there as they know Ferraris rein supreme.
So that's it in a nutshell until I post up the video. :)

I know my photography skills aren't very good! This trip was the first time I had used a SLR
