Hi JW

instead of adding the todays pics to the picture queue, I decided to immediately postprocess them, a good idea, isn't it ? :wink:

Today, from 3 locations in Switzerland, the Raid Suisse- Paris started, see

Though you only had about 15 minutes time, the coverage is great. A very nice collection of vintage cars!

In the end I decided not to go to Morat to see the cars coming from the french part of Switzerland, not totally my thing, but the Quattroporte and 3500GT you saw are damn sexy cars! And the white Espada :shock:

Thanks!

Some nice cars there :)
Tomorrow I'll be in Basel for the "real" start of this event :wink:

The car were placed quite close together, so click-click-click ... and they started their trip...


Can't wait to see the pictures... according to the prolog-starting list, there are as well a DB4, 190SL. 230SL, Ferrari 246GTS, MG's participating, which I miised yesterday, but probabely lots of other cars

Nice stuff - the old Masers are cool and the white Espada is pretty cool looking! :D

Thanks alot stmoritzer. :D

I'm literaly dead, no white espada though (100% sure) ... pics uhhh not today :mrgreen:
