Just a quick snap from Maranello during my trip through Italy. The Ferrari factory’s parking lot was empty on a Sunday afternoon.

If you’re heading to Italy I’d definitely suggest the Lamborghini Museum over the Ferrari one. Both are kind of small and low key but Lambo had pretty much every model they’ve ever made while Ferrari focused on it’s F1 history.

That US spec Fiesta ST situated in Europe still confuses me.

F1>than other history.

Still I have gone to almost every car museum in Italy and I would say Pininfarina’s museum is the best, even if it is kind of hard to get into it.

Just wanted to ask that as well. Probably a soldier stationed in Germany

So it’s worth it? I’m rather interested in going there. It’s only a 13 hour drive...

Do you know if the Spangdahlem facility is closed or not?

It’s still open, we use it to get gas when we’re heading to Belgium or Holland.

Out of curiousity, how often do locals ask you about the rear doors, or alternately say they wish they could get the five door version?

Good to know, I read that it will be closed in the near future. At least the Army closed almost all of their facilites here.

I definitely get looks from other ST owners. And people ask about it when I go to the races as well but, the general public has no idea that anything is wrong/different about my car.

Visited Spangdahlem for a week last year - seemed like it was kicking to me.

Not much else there anyways. Afaik the village nearby has a population of about 800.

Yep, it’s tiny - I was there because of the AFB. The proximity to Lux City, Frankfurt, and, above all, the ‘Ring, is glorious though.

That’s the state of Rheinland Pfalz in a nutshell. The Ring is probably under an hour away because it’s in the same state as Spangdahlem AFB.

Yep!

Absolutely. The problem is that getting in there is pain or when I was two years ago. They were in their worst financial situation and more or less only organized groups with a scheduled visit or you know somebody. I lucked out in one bar one night, to meet a person that was a former employee(nothing exciting), but he was able to pull some strings for a 2 man show.

I know I’m a month late but are you living out here?

Nope. Are you at Spang? I know some people who are.
