I can now reveal that Bob was crowned our first Nob of the Day for his car opening gaff. Apparently he had bought two new batteries for his key fob at the cost of £10 and was disappointed the car door would not open, however the bulb in the fob was very bright and cheery.

First car problems are starting to appear. TVR indicator bulb blown and Porsche under tray flapping and needs fixing. TVR bulb fixed, Bob’s gaffer tape solution needs refining.

James did not know where his bonnet release was. NOTD?

Drove south from Colmar through Basle and then Zurich and in to the Alps. Original plan was to do the Davos to Stevlio road dubbed by Top Gear as best road in the world ever. However, a bunch of cyclists had put their towels  down first and the road was closed to cars.

Team TVR, Porsche and Maserati re-route and climb the St Bernadino pass which was absolutely awesome. Lots of very tight first gear hairpin bends snaking up a mountain side.

 Bob was worried about the hot weather so he asked Dom to check the water temp, which he did. Our regular readers will know Bob’s car is air cooled so NOTD hat beckons.

Carry on down through Logano and into Brescia for ice cold beer. Long, hot day.

Meet up with Team Ferrari. The Mille Miliga gang is complete!!

Minor crisis at the hotel . Team TVR are allocated a matrimonial room (one big bed). Twin beds? - ‘Its impossible’ says the girly on reception. Is she referring to changing the bedding arrangements or Paul and me sharing a duvet? The crisis rumbles on.

Another amazing feature of the matrimonial room is that the bathroom is separated from the bedroom by a thinly glazed glass window enabling a view of the bathroom occupant. Must be a weird Italian cultural thing.  Not very popular for two British gents on tour.

Top quality night out in Brescia. Our catering manager (Ralph) find a great restaurant with a chef from Ipswich who knows a thing or two about Italian cooking.

Even better, Paul rectifies the sleeping arrangements and we now have two single beds. 

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Cheers
