Current road trip - Switzerland / Italy lakes
 

Team 370z - heading back up to Germany today. Been having amazing road trip. Will post more later. Great weather thankfully and no major traffic problems thus far!

The small roads in Italy have been amazing and nerve racking with the Z being a touch wide. Here is a pic from the drive down through Switzerland. Enjoy and more to follow ! One more pic of the car at a gas stop. Still some snow on the peaks in the Swiss Alps.

The coolest thing so far car wise - We drive this car, its pretty rare here in Europe(370Z), and we park in the hotel in Lugano Switzerland, in the garage right next to a black 370z Cabrio with Swiss plates! Crazy! :driving:

Gas stop photo.

Nice photo's :tup:

Absolutely beautiful. Wish I could be there cruisin' with ya :driving:

Totally awesome!!!

Garage picture
 

Was completely amazed after 5 hours on the road, down to nearly the Italian border, in a small garage in Lugano, our spot was next to another Z!!

Vierwaldstättersee
 

This is the first lake we stopped at on the way to Lugano. Lugano is in the very South of Switzerland in the Canton(State) of Ticino.

Vierwaldstättersee is South of Zurich. Took the pics of the car with the lake in the background. Here are a couple more. The car and 1 of the lake. After you leave this rest area you travel along the lake on A-2 towards the South to the Italian border.
The color of the water is amazing!

beautiful car, beautiful country

:iagree:

I visited Lake Como after the Italian Grand Prix a couple years ago. Beautiful part of Italy for sure. Unfortunately traveled by train. For some reason Italian trains don't really pay any attention to schedules.

Thanks for checking this out.....
We got to Lugano and started exploring it.....a few photos:

The lake, a nice very cool modern ferry and some examples of the buildings and architecture. Lugano is a great place with a nice laid back vibe. Great food and places to relax and hang. Fantastic main park along the Lake Lugano. Italian Swiss beauty of city!

Swiss 350z
 

Didnt see too many Z's overall. Saw a couple 350z in Switzerland including this one at the border as we entered Switzerland.

Im sure a train tour would have been nice!! The ferries around Lake Como run like clockwork!

Great shots cataloguing your travels. Thanks for taking us on a tour. Nice country.

looking good, DLSTR! :tup:

Great pictures...makes me want to go back and explore some more. Love to go back to Monza as well.

You must be loving life these days. :tiphat:

Good weather always makes for better trips! :)

Lake Como and Bellagio
 

Made it over to Lake Como and Bellagio on Saturday for some fun. Roads at times were barely enough for 1.5 vehicles much less 2, but in typical Italian ways we all get to where we are going with not much hassle. The busses are a bit pushy but whats new :)

Here are some pics of: View of Lake Lugano where we stayed/road shot in Italy on the way twisting and turning down to Lake Como-nice hairpins at times for the Z :)

Bellagio....
 

Is simply an amazing Italian, Lake Como village. If you think of a place to take that someone who matters to you, or with the family, this place is worth it!!

I wont bore you with a ton of shots of the town. This from the short ferry ride over last Saturday.

Final pic of a local Italian fave :) Not a bad way to see the lake if you are driving a 458!

Safe and superb motoring to all no matter where you are, or where you go this summer in the Z!!

Ciao,

Dave :driving:

:hello:

Very nice photos! :tup:

In a few weeks, we will probably start with a few "Z" from north to south,
here in Switzerland! Alpine Rally! with thousands of beautiful curves!

If you want again or anyone else, contact me!
Best regards from Switzerland

I am up for this!!! See you in z-club :)
