Title: First to be back and my favorite 3ma10 photo
Post by: Robert on May 17, 2010, 12:00:05 PM
Although it was just a short visit to 3ma10 on saturday, I really enjoyed it very much and am happy to have met all members of the gang  8) - although time was too short for longer talks. Next year, with my own 131 hopefully restored and ready to run, I'll be back, wherever the party will be held  ;)
For this time, mille grazie to Enzo who offered me a ride in his marvelous replica - FORZA CENTOTRENT'UNO!  :).

And here's my favorite pic from the road, a somewhat artsy composition - yes, it's blurry, but you tell me how to take pictures with a big Canon over your shoulder when being strapped into the bucket seat of a white jolting and roaring street machine  :o - this is Kevin hot in pursuit of Enzo's slightly superior 131 - well done, mate!  ;D

Enzo,

dont worry about our engine, i think it is allright.

Kevin replace his loss of horse power by high engagement of driving.

you seen never other car on the 3MA10 wich comes so often around the curve, by 3 weehls  ;D ;D ;D

Great photo Robert and while I appreciate the comments about the abilities of the driver, it is always easier to chase than to be the lead car! ;)

I also learnt a lot about the 1400 TC engine on these runs - It loves to rev and thrives between 5 and 6000 rpm. What fantastic runs we had - They never seemed to end, great curves, visibility, road surfaces, etc and all the time surrounded by hard driving 131s - I think that this is the highlight (amongst many others) for most attendees and no wonder 3ma seems to continue stronger every year! :)
