Decided yesterday that I’d drive to Milan today.
Decided this morning that it was too far and drove to Turin instead, especially when I saw the national car museum was based there.
So a round trip of just over 500km including driving through a 12km long tunnel each way (€49 toll one way, €59 return).
the trip was uneventful, very beautiful scenery and when I got to Turin, saw some very nice and rareish cars on the road. An Alfa 8C and a Porsche 956 were two examples.
Anyway, there were a lot of cars and some were rare and others unusual. A lot of Italian cars but that’s not a bad thing!
The photo near the end of the large sign, has cars that were in the museum that were seized by the tax authorities at an estimated value of €1m, but based on what they got, I think the value is probably quite a bit higher now.
I got pizza, a water and followed it with an espresso in a local place for €9 and then stopped at a bakery to buy some dessert, but their machine was broken. I didn’t have any cash, so the girl who worked there gave me it for free!
