Doesn’t get much better

Father and son drive though the Dolomite mountains in northern Italy. Mid 80’s and sunny. A perfect day!

Passing on your passions to the next generation is a great feeling - however there was a good amount of “imprinting” ….. same kid, same car 15 years ago

Very nice. I'm guessing that cars like yours are a pretty rare sight in Italy.
