ITALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<< < (2/5) > >>

att:
Naples is an awful place, much better to go to Pisa.

Naples really is a romantic notion that is long forgotten, however, that said, we are all different and we have to find out for ourselves, I am but a simple human with one veiw. :D

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Venice!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!

drmike:
Pisa! What a dump, having been once I would never go again and would suggest if you're in that area then make a brief early morning visit to the Campo thingy for the tower and then spend real time in Lucca which is gorgeous! Of course there's Florence as well.

Venice was great too but no good for driving! We went out of season and it was a real delight.

I was told by some guys in the Malta AWDC that the Italian cops are red hot on tyres and only permit sizes that can be bought as standard fitment. I'm not sure if they can do that to you as a visitor but these guys got regular hassle when they went to Italy in their off roaders.

--- Quote from: "Lord Shagg-Pyle" ---As for the Duke 999. Could be a problem there, Old Mate. Am taking Lady Shagg-Pyle and the daughter, Baroness S-P as well. Not much room in the back of the Disco, once we have piled it it up with olive oil, salamis, wine and gorgonzola!

Best thing you can do is load up the Disco for the return journey, hand the keys to her ladyship, climb into your leathers, insert head into skid lid, tell the Baroness you will have the kettle on when she gets home, mount up on the Duke 999/1098, wave lovingly and you can be home in 24 hours.
It would take 6 months for the smile to fade.
Go on you know you want to :twisted:  :twisted:

If you go to Naples fit scaffold bars all around the Disco, forget underbody protection it's body protection you need.
Naples is a Dump but good for ferry's to Capri, worth it if only a day trip; Sorento along the coast is a much nicer place.
Stop in Venice; one of those thiongs you have to do, a day is enough, after that you need a mortgage. Last time I was there a hour in a Gondala was 200 Euros.
Piza is worht a vist to see the tower, being in Tuscany that is no hardship as there are a lot of very good Vineyards.

What is it about Italy that everything they are famous for is a 'mess' up? Venice is sinking, Pompey got destroyed, Naples and Rome are falling apart and the the clock tower at Piza is falling over. Is this what inspired Fiat?
