Great pictures, the trevi fountain and the collosseum really are breathtaking.

I love Rome. Great shots (although your Colosseum shot looks weird on my monitor, did you retouch it?). What streets were Rolex and Ferrari on? What part of town?

Thanks for the compliments guys

Rome is mainly small streets, so you can walk around a corner and see another dealer. There are a few main streets that the smaller ones branch off. Although you cant get lost, its really difficult to find a anywhere if you want to go back somewhere, specially if your wandering. Inevitable in such a beautiful city.

I'm going to have a go at finding the streets the dealers are on, I know one is in a square with a bus depot in it!

The Ferrari (and Maserati) garage is next to the Villa Borghesi on Via Pinciana. ther's a Bently garage close by too.

Rome is such an amazing place, I got carried away, snapping everything in sight; literaly 100's of pics!

I haven't done anything to the photo's yet, I've just ordered a Macbook Air, so i'm going to wait until that arrives

If anyone wants pics of specific locations, I've probably got a pic of it! lol

I recommend Rome to anyone, its so full of history and amazing places to see, its a great distraction.

Thanks again for your comments, appreciate them and might post some more pics later.

Beautiful pictures. Such rich history in that country.

I love the car picture as well. Even if I'm 70 when I win the lottery I will buy that car. Of course my nurse will have to help me get in the car but once there I'll be able to drive it.

Thanks for sharing

Beautiful pics, thanks for sharing.

The wifey and I had visited Rome way back in 1976. We were there for just five days, but had the time of our lives. Also took a trip to Naples and went over by Catamarran to Capri and Anacapri.

Thank you for the wonderful photos!

Rome is an amazing city. We had the good fortune of visiting during a chocolate festival. 500+ vendors, all selling chocolate.

As an aside, for anyone interested in getting a taste of the city, check out the Bertolucci film "Beseiged". It stars Thandie Newton and David Thewlis, and it takes place in a palazzo next to the Spanish Steps.
