OK, it’s time for all of our gearhead buddies to come clean. We know the only reason you call us each year to book a yacht for theMonaco Grand Prix. Your wives have zero interest in sitting in the stands with hundreds of strangers, watching F1 racers zip by.
WHAT YOUR LADIES DESERVE
We understand. A yacht docked along the quay with amenities like ondeck hot tub and luxurious sun lounges gives your ladies what they want and deserve. It also gives you and your friends unobstructed views of the street track.
COMPROMISE
It’s that spirit of “compromise” when it comes to racing that caught our attention with this new item.
BRING ON THE ESPRESSO!
Our editor walked in this morning with a photo of the Espresso Veloce Machine. It is an espresso machine billed as a tribute to the 1990’s Grand Prix race car engines. These machines powered racing legends like Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher.
VELOCE – means “fast” in Italian
CONSTRUCTION
The Espresso Veloce Machine construction of race-world alloys includes magnesium, titanium, and aluminum. It is about half the size of a real-life 3-liter racing engine. The machine comes in both a V10 and V12 configuration. The oil-filler doubles as a grappa reservoir. Coffee serves through the exhaust tubes.
And get this. The mug designs complement the overall theme!
PRODUCTION
Production is limited to just 500 numbered units worldwide. No word yet on the price or anticipated shipping dates.
THE REAL TRICK
Now the real trick – getting your wife to toss the LavAazza. Replace it on the kitchen counter with this bad boy!!! 😉
