Welcome Antonio! I'm from Pennsylvania and it's always good to see people from all around the world enjoying MINIs. I admit I didn't know where Vicenza was, so I looked it up and it looks like a beautiful place to live, you are truly lucky! You are also lucky to have a GP, it is a very nice car. I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures, it helps to ease the stress of waiting for mine.

Vicenza is a beautiful place where to live even if like city it is much small,but is near the mountains for which it has an pleasant climate.

In Pennsylvania you have mountains?

Beyond Gp Mini I have also Mini One D.

Welcome!!
Nice pictures! I'm also from Colorado, our club (MINI5280) had a ride-along with approximately 20 cars this past Saturday. Lots of twisty mountain roads. Fun. If you think your English is bad, you should hear my Italian!!

Welcome Antonio, beautiful MINI!!! I'm also from Pennsylvania, I'm also Italian, never visited, but plan on traveling to Italy someday to meet family I have never met before. My father came here to the States many years ago. Love your rear view mirrors with the colors on them!

We all know the GP's are hot, but that is one nice Mini One. Went to Italy once for 2 hours(was in the area for the Monaco GP) and wish I could have seen more. I'd love to get there to see the GP at Monza! A BIG welcome from California.

Welcome Antonio! Greetings from Maryland! You have a beautiful MINI.

I'll be traveling to Italy with one of my friends in October. I've never been to Italy, so I'm very excited to visit.
