Imagine entering our appartamento in Palermo and seeing not only a poster of the Targa Florio, but a whole collection of original photos of this legendary car race. A whiff of history hovers in the air. I confess, the poster is only a facsimile. Because the original posters are highly sought after and are traded at more than proud prices.<\/span><\/p>\n

But why? What makes this race so special? And why is it downright legendary among Porsche and Ferrari fans?<\/p>\n

Let me introduce you to someone who could have explained all this to us to a tee: Uncle Mario, the car maniac of our family. This Sicilian daredevil from Palermo talked about his Sicilia, which he pronounced like Sischilia. He told about the Targa Florio so vividly that you could literally smell the scent of gasoline and tire wear in your nose. <\/span><\/p>\n

With his flowery language, his loud voice and his theatrical gestures, he could tell a story like no other. He even made his own melody sound in German, in the style of a true Italian, scusi Siciliano.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uncle Mario was a true Sicilian, with stacks of old issues of Auto Motor Sport. Every now and then, an Italian Motor Sport newspaper could be found among them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Besides my big brother Dirk, who took me to my first car race, and my older cousin Olaf, who pretty much impressed me with his screwdriver buddies and his VW Scirocco I, it was my uncle Mario who taught me what is popularly understood by \"talking gasoline\".<\/span><\/p>\n
