After leaving the swimming pool this week after my daily lunchtime swim I caught the quick glimpse of an 08 reg Atom rumbling away from the Galleria.

A refreshing change to the usual German's in their Ferrari's.

Good effort guy's hope you had a dry and exciting drive down and back.

Hope you took the proper route taking in a few montain passes along the way

That was me! There's a good picture of a couple of the Ferrari engineers scratching there head over the Atom outside the factory gates, see Events/Meetings/Travel - Alpine Tour pics.

We were on the Petrolhead Nirvana Alpine Tour and had just had a visit round the Lambo factory. I took a diversion to Maranello before getting back on track and heading up the Stelvio!

Fantastic trip, loads of tunnels, passes, and fantastic roads.

And the Atom never missed a beat.

woohoo

Nice one Paul - Guess I should have got there quicker rather than going back to hotel via the truck stops and I'd have been spotted as well!
