Lp only in the appendix

A terrible storm was raging over the Bay of Naples. I suspected that the waves would come this far, to MC. Normally the waves always go from southwest. Today from the southeast. Otherwise, half of Italy is covered in snow. … Continue reading →

A day in between

One event ends, others come. The rare FIN trade promised more at first glance. The Monaco Auto Club published a series of historic images today. I chose how they developed during Lp MC.   And the memory of three wonderful … Continue reading →

The Italians got rid of me dejection

Tradition. I am the first to welcome the RMC winners. At the crosswalk by pressing the pedestrian button. The winner Ogier passes even though the red light is already on. (last pic). I left the squeezing to a bubbly Argentinian … Continue reading →

Only catches were missing

Lively traffic, 39 countries, that’s a tour MC balanced record. Carspotters straight up. Only a proper Lp was missing. First N and BIH/week. The guy with the Enzo Ferrari is the most mysterious character in the entire MC to me. … Continue reading →

Incident at our crossing

The African in that tribal robe couldn’t stand that the Tesla stopped a few centimeters in the transition. And he went to punish the driver properly. He just drove to the edge and a real wrestler got out of the … Continue reading →

Excitement again (unnecessary)

From the solar fog. N 200 C. Something like the Falklands! After 10 minutes I discover the 2 cursed OOs. Would N 2 OOC ? It has a Jersey flag outside the window. So what experts??? And then up on … Continue reading →

De Tomaso Pantera. 1 classic. 1 prototype.

Still in my pyjamas, I hear a hellish rumble under the windows. Supercars drive into our yard. Just a jacket and down. De Tomaso Pantera. Classic of 60ties. I haven’t seen him in 2 months and now he’s coming home! … Continue reading →

The boss is alone

Avenue Princesse Grace is so stunning today that I have to stop. DK arrived a day later than I expected. Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 pininfarina. 1972-76 produced 525 units.                        … Continue reading →

Biggest pleasure today: Boulangerie.

From the Nice-Ville station right to Raissins and good coffee. A little moment of happiness. First TN and N this week. IR came to play for me. Pleasant. But I have Nostalgia at home. I read as California. Colorado in … Continue reading →

Saturdays are bad here

I had two matters in Menton this morning. So I didn’t plan anything. Maybe the MC will surprise. It wasn’t surprising. Traditional scenario. After 15, it pulls away and everything fades into nothingness. And emptiness. How empty it was in … Continue reading →

Rescue from Menton

Even in PRG it happens very often. The very first minute will bring a catch that will not be surpassed for the whole day. Algeria DZ, even before UA! Perhaps the TR designation will protect the red Ferrari from lies, … Continue reading →

The fewer tourists, the better.

An unknown lambo, an unreadable miniLp in front, so I was ready. And yes. Isle of Jersey GBJ, molto bene primero. But that’s nothing against BIH. Tour Premiere. He is now in the 1st place of missing GBG. I unknowingly … Continue reading →

Up to CdA. The sea is warm.

At the easternmost point of the usual MC route, I continued. To France to look for those wild, hidden cliffs and beaches.   After a few years into the water. The sun was burning, no one was there. Well, almost … Continue reading →

We were left abandoned

So what? Which way will he go? The sad fate of these cars. And probably the owner too. It totally rubbed off on me too. He admits. Already after dark in Cannes like this, I walk to the station with … Continue reading →

Downpour like in Iceland

The hardest of all variants. All day and without breaks. And on top of that, Orthodox Christmas. Perhaps the first time without LV, LT, EST complete. So survived in various shelters. It was actually better than I expected. The only … Continue reading →

So the biggest event: I met Jan Koller. In Fontivielle, near Stade Louis. Our bomber, AC Sparta Praha, national team. See more… That’s a lot of goals! I would guess the lady from the advocacy or something similar. He had … Continue reading →

Probably the best restaurant with seafood. Still full. I always get a taste for what other people have. Not here. But the positive energy of this this sort of people is measured in gigajoules. It hasn’t worked out yet with … Continue reading →

In the sea spa

Sea, air, pleasant environment, peace. Contemplation on a flowerpot at Mirabeau Bend. My number one from the circuit. Once every few years someone tries to overtake and it ends in a mass crash. There are barriers during the race. And … Continue reading →

Princier listened to all my requests

I’m already preparing a plan at our crossroads. If Ferrari is closed, I return to the station on the spot and go to Nice. OPEN. Rafts taken away. Fair closed. Harbor Avenue full. This is where bread was broken today. … Continue reading →

Communism and populism ruled Monaco today

Same scenario for 15 days now. Everything closed (mainly car shops and repair shops, port…) and streams of tourists from Italy. How I was looking forward to leaving the station today and Ferrari will already be open. How do I … Continue reading →

Cannes new ruler CdA

Somehow inconspicuously, 44 states gathered today. This is the best result so far at CdA. Sometime 4 years ago it was 42. And the second best daily result ever. First GBM stopped running, then GBZ disappeared and now we are without … Continue reading →

Trees in deposer, Lp on return

Already before noon, the deposer was filled with discarded trees. Kindred souls got rid of the trees before breakfast, at the first possible moment. I threw mine away many years ago. ??? A careful searcher will find the answer in … Continue reading →
