21.2 Who cares about Air Conditioning?! Dino 246 GT #02566



It's not summer yet, but days are getting warmer and warmer.
There are a few places were I wouldn't mind being, most of them include a Caribbean beach, a chilling wind and an icy drink.





That, or a ride in a vintage car, sunglasses and a great soundtrack to follow me on a winding road.

It's OK to dream, isn't it?







That said, the day I'll appreciate the original shade of Rosso Ferrari is still quite far away.

21.1 Spring brought flowers, and some Ferrari memorabilia



Spring.
It’s not just about flowers, bees, weekends at the lake or whatever you may prefer.
There is another key element. Automotive events!

Yep, with the good season come a lot of minor events all around Italy and not only, without even considering the racing season going straight in its more packed period.
To prepare yourself for the next months I’ve taken a last year’s se4t of pictures from a random and pretty small “show” I’ve stumbled upon in a town close to my parents’, while on vacation.

Not much to be seen on an absolute scale, still a nice place to stop by. Main attractions were probably the four Ferraris (one of them being actually a Dino) parked next to the church and a Lola B05/52 Zytek from the late A1 Grand Prix championship, but there also was a pretty large and weird selection of various Ferrari related items and memorabilia of all sorts.

So be it, enjoy the randomness!
Photoshoots with the other cars will come soon!

18.7 2010 Modena Terra di Motori, Random Sightings on the road!



Random sightings we were saying, but these two vintage cars could have well been featured in one of the squares.

They were actually spotted parked around downtown, and I've stumbled upon them while walking from one place to another.
Make the jump too discover these two beauties...


The first is a pristine MG A 1600, which I've seen a couple other times. Gentleman driver included.





The second is a even cooler Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce, or GTV, otherwise knows as the Tipo 105.44.
Ironically, it has the same color scheme as this other GT 1300 Junior I've photographed for this other post.






That's it for this year Modena Terra di Motori, I hope you liked my shots!
