Today we had solid 600 kilometers to cover. Weather was perfect for driving. Sunny and about 18C. Route was mostly highway with a brief cut through into the country along a few "B" roads running through the Vineyards. Progress in the land of the Gendemarie was much more restrained. Coming out of one toll booth we were sandwiched between two on motorcycles for about half a kilometer. The front one speed off into the distance while the one on my tail moved into and sat in what he assumed was my blind spot. I think he was hoping that I had forgotten about him and would not hit the acclerator. After about 2-3 minutes he finally gave up the cat and mouse game and also took off. Overall definitely not a welcoming friendly bunch. The drive through the vineyards was quite pretty but the F40 definitely does not like any road surface that is not near perfect. Every bump and loose piece of gravel is transmitted through the carbon fiber body. Teeth rattling at times.
Stopped at a friends house and had a magnificant lunch. Did have to pull a major feat of F40 manuevering to back the car up the driveway and around protruding gate posts. Overall a good uneventful relaxed day on the road.
