Oh, and the chap in the Zonda was no more then 28.
The story of the Rome trip for me though was had to be this... Jodie Kidd was in the rally in blue her Lambo Gallardo.... we were in mixing with the crowd, Jonny Knoxville, Jodie Kidd, Caprice and a few celebs were chatting. This English lad comes up and interrupts Jodie Kidd and says "Jodie, Jodie can I get a photo please"...she fixed the hair and said "Sure, no problem...."..and as true as I'm typing this he hands her his camera and sits into the drivers seat of her Lambo, poses and say's "It's just that top button there Jodie" pointing to how she should take the photo....
I thought it was classic.
