Well, room service is probably a guarantee, the spa is doubtful, and depending on how old the castle is and how well it's been maintained, air conditioning is likely. Just not quite the kind that Kara is thinking. Wink

Number seventeen - Woman
The theme of 17th edition of The Official Ferrari Magazine is nothing less than woman.
This number is an authentic tribute to those women who love cars, races and especially Ferraris.
For years male selfishness considered Ferraris just a privilege for men.
We will prove this is not true.
This is not true so because there are women who love Ferraris so much that they drive in one every day and because there are women who work in Maranello each day to design them and to produce them and to contribute to their diffusion.
They are not the Ferrari women, but we could rather talk about "Women’s Ferraris"...

Ferrari today announced the successor to the Enzo - the LaFerrari.

We chose to call this model LaFerrari," declared Ferrari's President, Luca di Montezemolo, "because it is the maximum expression of what defines our company - excellence. Excellence in terms of technological innovation, performance, visionary styling and the sheer thrill of driving. Aimed at our collectors, this is a truly extraordinary car which encompasses advanced solutions that, in the future, will find their way onto the rest of the range, and it represents the benchmark for the entire automotive industry. LaFerrari is the finest expression of our company's unique, unparalleled engineering and design know-how, including that acquired in Formula 1."

by Alfisti Wed 3 Apr 2013 - 4:21

To be honest, my major issue with calling it "La Ferrari" is, well... it's not exactly forward thinking is it? I mean, what on earth do they intend to call the one after: "The NEXT Ferrari"? and then perhaps "The One After That"?

It's a bit like calling your newborn "The Baby" or the family pet "The Dog"...

From motorsport.com;

Italian authorities have foiled a plot by a gang of organised criminals to steal the body of automotive legend Enzo Ferrari from its resting place in Modena.

Italian investigators reported that the gang were planning to ransom the body of the Formula 1 marque patron after stealing it from the San Cataldo cemetery.
In a sequence of raids by 300 military and police personnel, 34 arrests were made across Italy. The gang – which is connected with drug and gun smuggling activities – was based in Orgosolo in Sardinia, with other members from Emilia, Lombardy, Veneto and Tuscany also placed in custody.
Their plan was to steal the coffin of Ferrari, who died at the age of 90 in 1988, and take refuge in the Apennine Mountains while demanding a ransom from the Ferrari family or company.
One of the gang had already scoped out the daring raid on the tomb, and the plot involved using two cars and a van.
But following a request by the regional anti-Mafia directorate, the military swooped before the plan could be carried out.

Involvement of SWA cyborgs in the raids could not be confirmed...
