Jack's Photo Links Page - A Visit with Mr. Dallara and a Ride with Valentino

The following pictures were taken on April 21st during a three-week vacation to Italy and France.  On this day, we were granted a rare chance to sit with

Mr. Gianpaolo Dallara and talk about his experiences with Lamborghini as principle designer of the Miura and other significant cars. Later, we stopped at

the factory and met with Cristina and Caterina at the museum and took a ride on the wild side with Valentino.
