Fi Vintage Races? One trip to Europa, der Frau and I were just by chance in  
Milan when the Alberto Ascari Vintage F1 Races were being held at Monza. How  
were we to know?
 
We didn't know about them until we taxied from our hotel to the track to  
have an alfresco lunch in the park and saw the cars. Our taxi driver must have  
known someone, because we just motored right into the pit/paddock area without  
even so much as a ticket. Needless to say, he got a many Euro tip for that  
trick.
 
That was the afternoon, after the races, that I stood in the middle of  the 
track, just past the start/finish line, with both arms aloft in triumph, and  a 
big grin on my face, ala Pete Aarons while der Frau took my picture., I  
still have the pix somewhere. I'll try to dig them out and post.
 
Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

Sweet!  There's a  museum in Maia, Portugal that is very  similar.

Fantastic  place.  We'll visit it when we meet for the vintage F1 races at 
the  Boavista Circuit in Porto!
