Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--Ferrari.....
Spotted in a showroom in Warsaw, Poland, during my recent trip. A shiny red Ferrari.... Times have definitely changed since I first visited Warsaw in the early 80s.
That looks like the one I was going to buy for a trip to California. Then, I realized I didn't have all the gold in California, so I had to forgo the purchase. Nice car, though. I don't know much about Poland but such a car does contrast with the WWII photos I've seen of Warsaw!
Of course, they probably had little more than Trabis then. Owning a Ferrari or something similar is nuts. You can only exploit its talents on a race track, and that would be foolish for the size of the investment. The greatest concentration of Ferraris, Maseratis, etc., I have seen was in Monaco. There is only one day a year you can drive fast there. I think we can figure out the buyers' motivations.
