Will be posting photos as soon as I get around to post-processing.

A few quick shots. Unfortunately none are that great as I was in a constant rush and too excited about driving to be spending time with the photography.

Peaking through the factory gates.



Enzo in the museum.



599xx in the museum.



Friend returning from his 10 minutes in the 458.



458 tach.



Me heading out in the 458.



430 Scud.

Getting in the 430.

Wow, looks like I found this post just in time! I'm currently in Germany about to hit the Nurburgring, then next Monday will be heading into Italy via Stelvio Pass. I wasn't planning to visit the Ferrari factory, but I'm definitley swinging by now to see if I can find that test drive! Thanks for the idea
