[quote=Alistair]In terms of the contaminated fuel, did you fill up at a major service station and just get unlucky or did you use somewhere less visited? Not sure how common bad fuel is, hence the question.
You are correct, it was a smaller local place. I always try and put Benzine 98+ in and I guess that has not been turning over so much at that location. Had I used the standard stuff I guess it would have been fine!
Positano is still the same as 2017, except the price, road traffic levels, volume of tourists even now off peak, but some quiet corners can be found.
I am on the trip home now. The car is slightly lighter but I am definitely heaver as an offset. One long day from Positano to Rivoli/Turin. I love so many things about Italy but hotels nearly always end up being a failure. This evenings tells me it had air conditioning when I rang to book. Yes but it's not turned on. Oh we mis-understood, language problems, blah blah blah. In other words we don't care about you and will happily lie to your face. Well the last laugh is on them I have already reversed the Amex payment so lets see how they feel in the morning.
Well job done, the Coupe grumbled it's way down and is now causing mobile traffic jams on the way home as people try and get a video/photo of it while veering across two lanes. Italians, quite mad. But in a good, petrolhead way. I wish some other countries were as loving.
