    Auto Italia 2006

    Today was Canberra's Auto Italia motor show. There was plenty of spectacular Italian machines, both old and new. Italian bikes had a strong presence, from 50cc Vespas to 1000cc Ducatis. Lots of beautiful old Alfas and Fiats, and a good showing from Ferrari and Lamborghini, with a Gallardo SE, plenty of Countachs and Espadas, a 246 Dino GT (that the very nice owner was letting people sit in ), a 308 GTB, though strangely the owner didn't have a moustache . All over, a great show. Sorry IB4R. 100+ pics to come.

    I know an AMV8 Vantage isn't Italian, but it was in the carpark and I didn't get a shot of it at the Shannon's show the other week. The onwer of the silver Montreal was revved the nuts of it every now and then, you could hear it everywhere , though when we went closer to it when he was revving it, there were large plumes of smoke coming out of the exhaust

    Si senor coz Sei = six. IIRC their engines share design influence from Honda's original multi-cyl CBs, eg 500-Four & 750. Benelli also made a 6cyl 900cc version while Honda retailiated with the unforgettably dreadful CBX 6cyl

    I also went to Autol Italia but it was so packed out I could barely get any clear pics

    i thought as much. Me and my sister got there about 10.25 and it was already chockers, and by the time we left about 11.30 the parked cars on Morshead drive were up to the Kings Av/Russell Roundabout
