Mille Miglia: 1000 Miles of Motorkultur

Each year all of Italy goes car crazy when nearly 400 classic cars take a thousand mile tour from Brescia to Ferrara to Rome, and then from Rome back to Brescia. The Mille Miglia is a series of picturesque old towns and gorgeous landscapes in fast motion. This year our friends at Carmondo invited us to follow their 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing in a brand-new Mercedes-Benz SL (which seemed quite boring and tame compared to all the cool old cars in this event). I have a ton more pics after the jump, and you can check out our full coverage on Chromjuwelen.
