Thursday 18th of May 2006, Daisy's engine is fired-up 880km after rebuild. Drive to Patras, boarding the ferry, unloading at Ancona's harbour, driving another 730km, arriving in Monte Carlo. A quick visit to the practice session of the Historic GrandPrix on Saturday, paying tribute to race drivers using the Bristol engine on the track...

Sunday evening, arriving in Florence, meeting up with another 14 Bristols for the Bristol Owners Club trip to Tuscany. Excellent accomodation, excellent food, excellent wine, excellent friends, excellent fun...

...excellent scenery, excellent roads, we get comfortably lost in the minor routes to enjoy it all!
Every now and then, a stop at the winemakers...
...checking up the local Brunello.

Eventually, all good things have to end. Looking forward to the next major outing!
