Yes I believe it is but I'm not 100% sure. Tony's garage is, as I were told, where Enzo himself used to go for repairs. It's on the main street on the way out to the Maranello test track as far as I remember. When I was there we met the original owner who serviced Enzo's cars as well as his son. I think by now the father may have passed away, he was pretty old even 8 years ago. A lot of Ferrari owners throughout Europe are said to go there for nostalgical reasons (and for the roadtrip). They have any possible spare part for pretty much any Ferrari, and when we were there, they were working on a lot of different Ferraris, mainly older ones though. The passion they felt for the Ferrari cars was obvious and pretty much contageous, it's great to meet people who take such pride in their work and still remain humble and "down to earth".
