Re: A Couple of Quick Points re the Modena
In Response To: A Couple of Quick Points re the Modena ()

Was probably too long to fit "Maranello" on the dial, which would be a bit more accurate than "Modena" :) I'm always slightly surprised we never saw a "Fiorano" either.

And why do Italian place names always sound so achingly cool? Can see why they would go for those rather than, say, the Heuer Newport Pagnell, the Heuer Browns Lane or maybe the Heuer Dearborn!!
