Ha, after the irritating righteousness of the French and the frustrating correctness of the Germans, never mind following a queue of traffic behind a speed-limited truck on an Austrian Alpine pass, it was such a relief to be in Italy!
If you think that it's just like England in the 80s then it makes sense.
I'd never go so far south as Naples in the Aston Martin but in the north they like to see you really drive. We had tailgaters at 150kmh in Puntos and all they wanted was to overtake, have a look, then sit back again and see us give it the beans.Not just Puntos either...

I've driven loads of places and Naples was the place I didn't enjoy the driving and was glad to hand the car back. Nuts and no regard for anything! Great pizza though and amazing history there. Northern Italy is great, miss driving over there!
Come to think of it, Naples was worse than turkey, including Istanbul.
Car looks great in that setting by the way. Good to see.

I've always driven a lot in France, just finished a 4,500km trip there. Occasionally been to Italy via Monaco and it always chills my blood to drive there.
Locals tailgating at 120mph with the lovely areas for trucks to pull in/out at the side of a dual carriageway with tunnels and blind bends sends me into a bit of a meltdown, or maybe it's the brilliant roadside coffee. I'm always happy to get back to Switzerland or France.
