Just got back from Italy...

[APEXi240]

I'm gonna post a couple of pics up as soon as my brother loads up his crap...

I was lucky enough to visit Rome for four days...did all the usual tourist stuff. But this is a car site so I'm not going to bore you with the Vatican, ect...

TALK ABOUT K-CARS. These things are tiny. 2 and 3 cylinder cars. Predominitaly Renaults, Citreons, Alfas, and Lancias. The little Mercedes Smart cars are sooo funny looking. Carbon fiber body with 3-cyl diesel engines. EVERY Audi is a TDI, I only saw one 1.8T (that wasn't diesel). My personal favorites were the Audi A2s, and Mercedes A120s.

But anyway....Nissans....there weren't many. There is the Nissan Micra, which is a two door hatchback with a 1.3liter engine, this is what I saw the most. I saw two older Primeras (like Stoney's car (RIP)). I saw two Primera wagons, that were the body style after this. I also saw one brand new Primera wagon (looked really nice). Saw two non-turbo Z32s. That was really about it.

People drive crazy there though, and the people on mopeds are just insane. Red lights for them are just a suggestion. They weave in and out of cars, with no concern of getting hit...nuts.

Great trip, wish I coulda stayed there longer.

Italy is gorgeous, glad you had a good time!

Just so you know, the Nissan Micra is the only Japanese car to win Best Seller in Europe.

I'm originally from Jodan, and I've seen a lot of those cars you mentioned on that list, kinda weird to see those for a while and then come back to the cars here huh? BTW, you didn't see any ferrari's or anything?

[APEXi240]

YEAH, 5 Ferraris and two Maseratis....don't ask about models though, I'm not too good with them, but here goes....(oh yeah I'm still waiting for pics from my bro he's got a couple of ferraris on there)

2 360 Modenas (Same night I saw the two Maseratis)1 Convertable, it wasn't a Spider, it was something that starts with a B....(can anyone help me out?)1 Older green Ferrari....it had a 412 badge on the back.1 Really weird looking Ferrari, no clue what it was.

I'd rock a Micra though, thing is soo funny looking. The fully loaded model came with foglights and 13" alloys. haha.

see any A3's?

and i know this is a car enthusiasts site and all, but man, I love Italian women!!! You lucky dowg!!

[APEXi240]

Yeah a lot of A3s. All were TDIs exceept ONE 1.8t.

One reason why I want to move there, the girls are absolutly gorgeous. Always dressed to a t. In Italy (and most of Europe) everyone is skinny, the only "fat" people I saw were older, and they weren't really all that big too....but the girls...man.

Did you watch any late night t.v over there? half of the stuff after like 12 is practically p0rn, there's like naked chicks in commercials and everthing. Ahem......not that I watch that kind of thing, just what a friend told me.

*****Homer Simpson Voice ****

mmmmm, Italian women!!

Got any pics? Europe definitely has some sexy women, no doubt!! Surprised you didn't come home with a wife!!

[APEXi240]

Nah, it was hectic, it was a 5 day trip which meant 3 days there...suffering from jet lag the entire time. I do have a ton of pics, I gotta get them developed, and I'm STILL waiting for my bro to post them up on the net...(digicam, and he's at school right now, 2hrs away).

I saw a little late night TV, nudity is NOT a problem.....magazine advertisements at newstands have big posters of topless girls for mags...great.

Well I'm definitly gonna work on my Italian, cause me and my brother are going to go back sometime next year, hopefully I'll get to import a wife (maybe even a Sunny GTi-R).
