Thirty minutes further on, we finished our exploration of the northern fringes of Modena and finally began to head south. A recurring question I asked myself was, why does the Italian countryside have so many dead ends? And surely we've been up all of them by now?

Thirty minutes and one police car later, we had been been up every single road and there was nowhere else left to go other than Maranello. And so we arrived. Now Maranello is not a small town. In fact it has a population of some thousands, there are numerous streets, and there was no evidence of a high performance car factory.

We tried numerous streets and looked down various passages, none of which contained anything as large as a Ferrari factory. After half an hour of fruitless searching, I got out of the delivery van and heaved a sigh of exasperation. At that very minute I heard a distinctive noise in the distance, the high pitched scream of a Formula One engine.
