Reply to "Pre-LMC visit to Italy"

So 1½ hour to kill. So I drove to the old factory. The walls stand, but that’s about it. I’m not sure if it’s allowed to go in there, probably not for safety reasons, but since I was a “fan” and I knew I wouldn’t take anything, I thought that if I got caught, I could defend it. Just looking. The place is almost a ruin. And everything has been spread on the floor. If you plan on going there, don’t bother. The only thing of value as I see it are the mockups of the once future Pantera, a car I think is very good looking, I know other’s disagree. A sad place to walk around in. A bit scary as well. When I was in one of the buildings the solid metal door slammed. I thought maybe I should die there among the dead DeTomaso mockups, how appropriate. But it was just the wind, and the door could be opened again, don’t worry.

Some pictures of the decay. When I has here 5 years ago the office building had walls, I got shown Alessandro’s office. All that is gone now.
