Fantastic Pics.

Did you have to book the factory visits or can you just turn up and get in?

Spotted this Enzo in Monaco last year

The Pagani factory was pretty crazy. The entire factory is about the size of a large house, with only a CF room, a small assembly room and a testing/engine assembly room. When I went there, there were three people making all the CF panels and EVERYTHING is CF. Then they were put into one of two huge vacuum bag/ovens. There were 2 people testing the built cars. 1 person putting everything together. Then outside there was 1 guy vacuuming the built car . They said the time from order to delivery is 9 months! In total, there were 3 complete cars outside waiting to be delivered, one being assembled, and 2 being fitted with engines. thats like $4million in cars right there! damnnnn

That is astonishing! I must make it a point to get there and tour those factories at some point in my life (preferably sooner rather than later)! I would be completely out of semen by the end! Great pics.

haha yea the Ferrari Restaurant was AMAZING. Helmets and pictures from all of Ferrari's drivers. They have engines and trophies in there too. There's a room upstairs where no one is allowed access to except company execs and the likes of Michael Schumacher and such. Everything in the restaruant from the utensils to the tables clothes have the horse on it. crazyyy

Haha they didn't let me have a car but they did give me a piece of leather that a woman was cutting and sewing for a Murcielago.
