Little day trip i took the family on to Modena and Maranello. Visiting the Ferrari Museum and then off to a bit of an out of the way place called Hombre Farms. Hombre Farms currently makes cheese and balsamic vinegrette and other various fresh foods, but is also the curent home of a vast collection of automobile goodness....

































More coming............

Very cool! My girlfriend just returned from studying abroad in Italy. She managed to get me a keychain from the Ferarri store... I think i was more excited about the little suede bag it came in

She also said MOMO is very hard to find witch surprised me. She said there were more american made steering wheels than MOMO lol weird

[AHFlynn]

[BobL2438]

[phryxis]

Wow awesome, thank you so much for sharing your photos. I definitely need to visit the Ferrari museum in the near future.

Hombre Farms would be very different if it were in CA

Im not new, just havent posted much, ill rectify that. This weekend, im going to The Audi Museum, then im heading to the Welt.

Thanks for the props guys, I try to get some decent shots, bad lighting in the Ferrari Museum, and worse lighting in the Panini Collection, but I had some good ones.

Momo is alive and well here... I should post pics of the MOMO watches I found on our trip to Venice the other day lol. Most people just dont trim out interiors like that here, and in general the car tuning scene is small in Europe compared to stateside.

I was just at the ferrari Museum in January, in fact I am in Reggio Emilia right now for work.

You missed the family owned lamborghini museum, it is only about an hour away from Ferrari. There is also the Factory Lamborghini museum close by too.

I sat down at my desk at work today with my typical morning coffee. I then opened VW Vortex before doing anything work related as usual haha.... And to my delight your thread was trending on the car lounge!

Thanks for the amazing photos and 15 minutes of bliss before starting my work day very jealous!

[freedomgli]

Next time I go back to Modena I'm definitely going to check out Hombre Farms!

[GoLfUnV]

I just got an e-mail form our network admin at work asking me to stop downloading stuff. It took a minute to load all these pics.

But well worth it, great pics!

[evosky]

that looks like automotive mecca

[mhjett]

Your thread, good sir, has delivered.

Very cool photos. I would love to visit Modena and Hombre Farms.

I've been to the Ferrari store in Rome and it was nowhere near as cool.

Now onto Hombre Farms / Panini Maserati / Automotive Museum:

The Wall Street Journal did an article on this place and the guy/family/whatever that owns it - it was sometime in the past year in the weekend section. Pretty cool read if anyone wants to search for it.
