Some weeks just dont get much better. Had a ball this week with the amazing little Piaggio MP3 250. I dished out a lot to this little tripod both in town and the Adelaide Hills close to our home. Not entirely a suitable pastime for the little Piaggio - but it coped admirably despite not having the engine torque - and basically its not REALLY designed as a scraper. But it did it with grace and bags of fun. I just loved the looks of the regular jet pilots on the Blackwood Road run.
Anyhow - here are some snaps and the review will be done this week-end.
THE BIG NEWS was that I was one of three SA media to go to the Prestige Formula launch of the totally 'bello' Ferrari 430 Scuderia - yes - an awesome beautiful beast. At approx $500,000 - price TBC +ORC - this single Ferrari has just arrived in SA from Sydney and was ...well ...amazing. I sat in it, I felt it - I heard that cavernous throaty exhaust note. Indeed who needs a radio when you have THAT motor to listen to. I am quite astounded to hear there are already 60 orders in Australia for the 430s - and 7 being within South Australia. Anyway much to write this week-end - check back and enjoy the MP3 pics - thanks to Piaggio Australia the 400 version is being released early 2008 and thats also heading over here for me to check out.
The 400 will be the real deal I think offering a total sports - commuter package that will see a lot of folk - new and old to bikes - maybe head onto this amazing Italian tripod.
Oh yes - the 430 launch will be my next feature to pen so stay tuned for the draft here...
