Default OT: Well Im off to Italy, Hope to see euro ITR's there

As many of you know Im leaving for Italy today, and Im asking my girl to marry me on wensday, 2oclock east coast time. I also can't wait to see a few euro cars that we don't get here.


Buy the time I get back my car will be taken apart and on its way to stock.

The chance is very small that you'll see at least one!!! Unless you made an appointment with an EuroITR HT member...

My Cousin was there 3 days ago . He was in Milano, Riccone and Roma.
In 10 days he didnt see 1 ITR . But he saw 2 2002 CTRs. He said Hondas are very rare in Italy.

Have a nice trip. She better say YES!! J/k. You will probably see a few of the new CTRs and maybe the Accord Type R.. As mentioned, Hondas seem to be rare in Italy. You will see shitloads of Alfa Romeos..

I wish I'd scanned the pic of me standing next to one of those "Smart" cars when I was in Rome a couple years ago.
Even my Mom thought they were "cute"! LOL

I've been to Italy 3 times and I can't ever remember seeing a Honda. Don't get your hopes up.

I saw an EVO 5 when I was in Bossano, Italy.
Of course I'd just polished off a half dozen shots of Grappa

Have Fun Pete, Congrats & Goodluck
I think the Only place you will see any S2000's or ITR's will be up in Milan, I saw a few civics around Rome and Florence but thats about it for Hondas.

FYI If you want to take a tour of the Lamborghini Plant in Sant'Agata just give them a call a day ahead of time to schedule it and they will be happy to have you. (I have the Phone # at the shop for them, If you'll have an online connection I can Email it to you then.)
You can also stop by Ducati In Bologna not to far from Lamborghini, But Don't bother with Ferrari Unless you have connections your not getting in. There is the Ferrari store and the Museum around the block though, both with some cool stuff.

Also make sure you take your Girlfriend to the Amalfi Coast if you'll be south of Rome at all, Its simply amazing there.

My dad was there.... he said he saw a ITR but didn't understand the front end because only know's what a USDM Integra looks like..........

You'll see more Ferrari's than Honda's over there, LOL!

Here ya go Ed Here's a pic of one of my friends next to my Cousins SMART Car
PS I wish I got a picture of it but we passed by either a Dealership or something for SMART It was a HUGE Glass maybe 30ft by 30ft Cube and it was PACKED with SMART Cars in all colors about 15 cars high





Then this is some weird French car, small enough to be registered as a Motorbike


Oh and a Clicky Pow for good measure

Bring a digital camera.... ITRs are fairly rare, based upon my European adventures. I was in Zurich for 3 months and did see a white and black ITR. They were the only two Hondas I saw though. I spotted them when my ears picked up the sound of their engines. I was like what the hell sounds soooo goood.
