rob, sorry might have mislead slightly 5-10 mins by car/bike (not walking distance) to the factory , 2 roundabouts and some dual/triple carriageway which was fun, but it is a short walk from the hotel into town.

OK, thanks for the update. Have you been to Ferrari (Modena) too? That and Bimota (assuming they haven't locked the doors again) is in the loose planning stages.

The Ferrari museum isn't much cop actually, unless you're a real hardcore fan. I think most of the people that went when we did the factory tour first time round were disappointed with it. But I guess its worth going while you're in the area.

stayed at the excelsior or something.. just oposite the train station, on a main street, 10mins walk from old center. pretty decent.
there is a direct bus from the train station to the main airport.

Mr S organised our Imola trip and I would recommend staying in Misano..nice sleepy little town and the zio that he sorted for us all was excellent
