Prague Plates Spotting and Special Trips for License Plates

As for Lp. Today 19. Record yesterday 23. Most numerous DZ. Then TN and MA. Others including a couple of trucks a day less. I haven’t seen EST, RUS, BY, MD, SK, H, HR, SRB. 1A, 1DK (trailer), 3MC.

I admit that I have been prejudiced against Marseilles since ancient times. And all I knew was the view from St.Charles Station. Even last year’s 1 day visit with a bike did not disperse them. I’m trying (when I have to be here) to find a way. Maybe in the morning when I buy a 1Jour Ticket at this stop. 1 stop away is square La Joliette. That’s a beautiful name! Such Park Lane sounds great to Czechs too. But Italy and France are a little more delicious.

About 100m from the hotel there is a shopping center. And today I discovered the terrace. I like that. I like my buffet monop daily, also with a terrace. And what I like most about the room is the Nostalgie radio. There they play songs that I completely forgot. And that’s why I can’t let them go myself. I was recently impressed by To France by Mike Oldfield and Maggie Reilly. Then I searched for the text. Also great and a bit relevant to the current mood.

Morning check of the situation. Jolly Vanadio is moored at the place where Jolly Cristallo stood (without noticing the change). And it unload. The parking lot is already gigantic. I get a message: everything is shifted. So I have no choice but to wait. I look from the 9th floor to the part of the harbor where nothing is happening. And a short distance I have a buffet with a microwave and lots of food. I liked Thai chicken.                                                   

It was a coincidence that the evening led me to the very center, where incredible wrecks were unloaded from the ship under the cathedral. Some of the ships were pushing. I didn’t understand at all. Do they export to France ?! When D appeared. The first person I understand from morning and learn something. Yes, we arrived from DZ. And what city do you live in D, he asks me. I have a respirator hit my face as soon as I can. Clouds of smoke, the official language of Arabic. All F, seversl DZ, UK, B, I, 1CH. Everything is so absurd that I look for Chad Rolls Royce in the column. I stay practically just around the hotel in the hypermodern new district of Arenc (Euromed). Whenever I walked away – I was amazed.

And I greet the French convoy of freedom! The convoy of Nice has already set out for Paris. “Expel” those macrons, all the fools for which I have to eat Thai chicken with unpleasant wood, what our cars took from us, what they forbade us to say, what we think, what they ordered us to have sajrajt stabbed, so that the money of pharma monopolies flowed … enough for now.

They should leave the port tomorrow. But it won’t be easy at all. The port is about 12 km long and has 10 gates. Nothing is clear at all and nothing is certain at all. This is something completely different from the MC Rally. I can’t imagine it at all. About 700 vehicles and about 10 helicopters. The same number of vehicles will arrive for the cargo. How will this happen? And will it happen at all? And with my assistance? It’s not clear to me at all. But I’ve wanted to see it for a long time. I hope that looking over the fence as trucks leave Jolly Cristallo will not be the only thing. The whole transport was strictly secret and here to ask? For a) I don’t speak, b) they shouldn’t tell me anything c) anyway, only a very limited number of initiates know. In any case, the arrival date I received directly from the CZ team agreed. But I won’t know more. Thank you so much. Without them, I would know nothing. And tomorrow I have to take care of myself. After all, I’m so used to it.

And today in Marseille? Nice, but Libya snorted behind my back in the morning. I didn’t expect it at all. I was just thinking about the amount of MA, DZ, TN waiting here in the port for departure.                                                                                                                                     

F Army in D. I haven’t seen that in a long time.                                                                                Such a little man (probably hiding from a mobil) picked from fellow believers at the mosque. See transparent.

and I hope big things will happen in the coming days

So again, I’ll call you from somewhere I hope with a lot of Lp.

Diese Woche brachte 44 (-6) Staaten. 

What intrigued me on my first long trip to Monaco in January 2017/18:                                         

How in the pre-covid times it could be close to people. (S.Ogier- won and then every year again. Until now). As the top boss of Toyota Gazoo Racing arrived on Sunday. And I bowed and so did he. Well, we bowed to each other for a long time. How I was in the secret garages, where amazing jewels stand under the tarpaulin. And walking through the area, where it is absolutely impossible to get. And how I was right on Toyota’s staff and watched the last kilometers of S. Ogier’s winning race. This is and will be impossible forever. As in Monday’s post, the prince walked among us, the people. And what colors Sony Ericsson had.

I first saw the trailer. And then he noticed the car. Alandia AX.                                            

Kubo / Endo finished 67th. Norwegian corner. 8 cars will go to the North on a truck and the owners will go to Le Casino in the evening. My favorite eventually got on in the end. Last. First he cleaned his reindeer, secondly N oval, he came with Lp dirty and now he left unreadable.

I haven’t moved out of the harbor yet. Isle of Jersey. Also Morocco. Better photo later from the garage. Toyota Yaris GR, sales version of the Yaris WRC. I bet it would be faster outside the airport and the highway than all those huge supersports.

Two strategic buildings MC. Cathedral and Oceanographic Museum.

Rare Panhard .Famous times of Citroen.Today, Renault, Peugeot and Citroen are no longer recognizable beyond the label.                                                                                                Controversial participation of UA with ZAZ, even if only in the supplementary category. Only cars that have participated at least once in the past may start on the RMC history. Worse, they stood by the cars all day, drinking beer from a can. It was such a stench that I preferred a VW ID.

RMC clasiccque also arrived. This is such a B historique. Lotus Europe appeared here.

The predecessor of the famous Alpine A110 did not finish. LT historique premiere also within the classique RMC.

At 21, he starts on the 2nd night SS and it’s over. Zaporozhec (UA) were such bad cars that it was not sold even in CS.

From February of previous years                                                                                                                

Woche überraschend viel  50 (+5). Ausser NMK alles dabei.

Until Saturday. The most typical cast of supercars (more than 50%) is male 70, female 20. And it’s clear that 50 didn’t go. In Nice there are about 4 supercars a day. 3 of which MC. On weekdays, only 1. I would very much like to see a list of cars in the MC. Incredible gems rest in the underground, which come out only once a year, for example.So 20% is a alone female 20-30 years. MC, together with Japan, has the highest life expectancy. 92 years. Monaco Matin recently reported the 39th and 40th victims of the covid. Men 92 and 101 years old. .

Jensen Healey premieres. I have never seen. Ani Jensen Interceptor. I would like to.

About 5 AND today. There were days when there was nothing.

Lp until evening. RSM.  Lamborghini Diablo.

In the first moment F / USA. Then I see the 4th number. I’m flying the globe. Ukraine. What a surprise in the end. It is next to the Fairmont Hotel. BG. No, for me UA.

I was preparing to run on Thursday. But schools closed at noon today. And in the evening, a procession of St. Devotus broke out. So they closed the key streets.

Even on Wednesday night, Hyundai is not packed. They probably said before the season. We already have good cars, so now we will build the biggest buildings. I bet there was a plan at Toyota’s internal pre-season meeting. 1. win the Monte Carlo Rally 2. our driver become the world champion 3. Toyota win the brand competition. I’m probably not alone in thinking that winning the RMC or Monaco F1 GP is as valuable as the rest of the championship.

In the evening on the Place, those who hated people and cars were fine. The beauty from the advertisement of the famous London jewelry store Graff (a branch directly at Le Casino) attracted all the more. I always wondered if it was Maria Sharapova. No . Sara Sampaio (P).

Evening in Italy. When you ascend to Menton-Garavan it is 500m. I enjoy the free way as when the borders opened in 1989. And on the way back Mon Cheri. How is it possible that in Italy everything is 33-50% cheaper than in F? How is it possible that it is cheaper in I than in CZ?

One rally is not over yet and another is coming. The Rallye Monte Carlo historique from several European cities will start on Thursday. So we’ll welcome them here on Friday.

In Italy I bought Ravioli alla Borragine di Albenga. It will be here from here. Albenga is nearby. From Plin. Amazing! Fantastic!!!

Even today, trucks stood on the surface. They disappeared in the evening. Hyundai hasn’t even demolished yet.

But I’m glad Isabella Galmiche won. She was already surprised to get out of the car. I thought, of course, that I.G. is a man. No, she is a math teacher and has only competed in small competitions so far. Not everyone could co-pilot WRC drivers. When I was 15, they took me for a while in my workout. The world just spun and tossed with me.

I stared at the car without Lp. I didn’t even notice that they were already following him. And another policeman had already run in front of the car from the opposite direction.

Algier  ended up in Menton at the Hotel Mediterranee.

Today, the MC would just demolish, liquidate, clean up. That would be sad. So Nice.

I haven’t looked out yet and other expeditions. Mali.

I’m going along the Promenade and suddenly it occurred to me. Check that vertical street. And when I was on the middle island, something told me. Stay here. So I parked my bike, etc. and the USA, New York. There was nothing better today. This is a workshop! This is a car repair shop! In MC at Ferrari or Mc Laren, the guys in decent overalls, in particular, talk to each other, and especially twice a day, everything is exported and then transported back. This operation alone takes up to 1 hour.

I hear a demonstration rumble from a side street. I say to myself. Eric Zemmour has arrived. Something like that. Especially don’t let France ruin it this time !!!

I’m fully joining. Stop fanaticism, stupidity, political correctness,propaganda, intimidating and dishonoring people with a different opinion, intimidation, lack of freedom of speech.
Yes resistance, freedom!

Menton. The nicer the day, the longer the queue at the boulangerie. So no coffee and pain au raissins. I hate queues.

From time immemorial, I am the one who welcomes the winner first. While the crowds are crowded in the harbor (I hate you too), I go 50 m up, where there is a pedestrian crossing. And just push a button. But this year everything is different. They come from the opposite side.

I chose a place at the exit of the tunnel. I’ll be there alone and first. But where orderly MC drivers drive 5 through the retarder, then they stop and look around and prefer. So here the WRC pilots did not slow down for a moment with the reaction of the decomposition of the atom. So I drive to the crowd. Andreas Mikkelsen (7th overall and  no-WRC car winner) arrived first in the MC, followed by Erik Cais from the CZ (9nd / 2nd).

An unexpected winner arrives. Sebastien Loeb. I think Red Bull sent a couple of F1 mechanics thanks to Loeb. And the newcomer is the winner. Toyota lost. 2nd and 4th She definitely wanted to win a lot here. Already because of the Toyota factory upstairs at Calais. Hyundai then suffered a complete debacle. 1.H to 6.

So it was only celebrated at Ford. Gus Greensmith (UK) 5th place. Pilot with X-Factor winner face. Ford sensational winner RMC 2022. 1st, 3rd, 5th. Remember what I said Wednesday night after that amazing photoshooting? Red Bull always wins.

Woche 45 (-6). Diesmal ausschliesslich aus MC. Die Punkten aus Nice, Cannes … fehlen. Kein BIH, MK, MNE.

And one more fix. Since then, I have in my head that QR is Qatar. Then this Q lp. I always doubted the lamp. This week they drove without BMW with the Audi Lp GM. And I already realized that everything is Luxembourgh L.                                                                  

From the sun mist over the curb directly to lunch coffee: Island IS. They did not enter the parking lot in the port at their height, so they reached me.

They will travel around the sea to Portugal. Getting away from the table cost me another loss. Not from seagulls this time. But not for the first time since the good African man who cleans the harbor avenue. He considers any abandoned thing to be rubbish and disposes of it. Today it was almost a full bottle of Orangina. I still had cycling gloves, a mask and a mobile phone with me at the IS after lunch.

An incredible battle on Monte
Ogier has stopped and is in the lead. Loeb is second -20 sec. Fords continued in the foreground, while Hyundai defeated totally. Even the last 2 that came damaged. Mikkelsen (Skoda) is already 7th! A Čech Cais 8 !!!

    Ewans at the back     Solberg at the back- crash     Loeb 2.                Ogier 1.                        Neuville 6. crash                    Greensmith 5.              Cais  8!!!                       Breen 3.                    co-driver P. Nagle (IRL) jumped out immediately after the finish and walked to the finish line. Andreas Mikkelsen 7. !!! (and it started 12 WRC cars) refused to wash and ran to the finish line. O.Solberg with the crashed Hyundai arrived completely without lights! The pilots drove from the last SS over 2 hours on winding roads back to the MC.

This is how the photographer Automobile Club de Monaco captured Sebastien Ogier in the lead.                                                                                                                                                           

Everything, including the mechanics, the escorts, just went all the way to Valence. All that remained was a luxurious village with a majestic square, as they call it in the RMC program.

Ferrari 512 BBi. 1976-81. Another of Ferrari’s legends. Those who would not need them for the rest of the day began to return in the evening. I also went to Menton in the evening to edit something by bike and have a bowl of Linguine al Pesto.

Camilli from Nice, the one who had those problems right after the start, finished definitively. Those who were at the SS today had to be satisfied with the highest. Loeb broke his forehead. Before Ogier. Before Toyota’s.

It’s 7 p.m. I’m going back to Monaco. How does it look like there.

In the Monaco, cars from the second half were still returning. Everything is new, everything is different.
First in the shower, then stamp and at the right time to your team.

The Ford Puma WRC looks the best and has the scariest sound. But I probably won’t bet that he will be in the lead after two days. Sebastian Loeb surpassed my expectations.

 photo Autoclub de Monaco

Sebastian Loeb was still in Saudia on Sunday. He finished second overall at the Dakar Rallye behind the invincible Nassir al Atyah. He’s still brown. And now from the sand to the alpine ice.                                                                                                                                           

That skinny I.Galmiche is the new co-driver. Daniel Elena (MC), a long-time colleague with whom they won everything in the world, is probably too hard at the WRC. Well, the new one definitely has 40 kg less and you already know it. D.E. here in the photo from RMC historique February 2020.

During a tour of the port, I also met Ott Tänak. Hyundai team star.

Barriers and zones were already being created on the Place. Entry has already been banned. So queues formed at the crossroads. So I sat there so something would go. Algier drove, but it was just off.

At 17.30, they sent a whole twelve WRC cars. As it turned out, they were an hour and a half ahead of the others at the Paris Hotel.

As I suspected the start was scattered in many zones. At least the overall view. I was assigned to a relatively prestigious tribune with Russian MC residents. But I didn’t enjoy it (advanced spotter).
Otherwise, a huge number of people came to Monaco. They escorted cars to the track. Incredible misfortune befell Camilli. 300 m after the start, they could go downhill without an engine, something went wrong. The car behind the car overtook them.

From time immemorial, rally world champions have been Scandinavians. Before they came Sebastian Loeb and now Sebastian Ogier.
Loeb won 77 WRC rallies, 8 times in MC and 9 times he was world champion.                       

For Bahrain x ride and Red Bull only half an hour behind the invincible Attija in the desert. I wonder how after 14 days of total commitment in the desert and 4 days of “rest” and in 48 years he will drive a new Ford. They have my sympathies.

It’s 12 o’clock. Toyota is gradually sending its cars to drive around the GP circuit. At the same time, at the end of the port, he unloads Hyundai cars from the truck.

Tourists only from E. But multiply by various support, service, fan, snow spies, etc.

Let’s take a look at Parc Fermé. What good is Toyota? Erik Cais- the greatest CZ hope. Great talent. TOK sport. Renamed Skoda Motorsport. Andreas Mikkelsen will drive the WRC cars.

The police also came to see. And she already saw something here.

In Place photo shooting. I was surprised by the beauty of the Ford Puma. Red Bull is at it. And he almost always wins.

Menton, after breakfast. I wonder how weak the traffic is. When I suddenly … think of Puerto Rico at first. Yeah, no Lp in front.

Unplanned race to Italy. No obstacle anywhere. I’m very close at times. Neither the French nor the Italians will stop the transport. And in the shop queue … and I hate you. Well, not exactly a successful trip to I. I return empty-handed.

Looks like nothing happened today. But 37 states. Although practically everything has already been seen.
The only luck. Hyundai is just arriving with cars.

a) they forgot the place for the truck.
b) the cars have still not arrived. Last.

I think Toyota and Hyundai are doing well. and that they can afford it. Today I read about the decline in car sales in Europe. Already against the miserable 2020 last year, another minus 20%. But there were 2 exceptions. Hyundai + 16% and Toyota 11%. Before I left I was with a Toyota weekend. Mainly take a ride with Yaris Cross. But when I asked when I would get it, I didn’t add a signature yet. 10 months. When do you think you will get a disgusting ID or what is it called? That’s how they replaced the great Golf. what it looks like a swollen toad. But VW stopped doing sports, classy cars and threw himself into politics. Gender, veganism, ecoism.
Why do you think Toyota and Hyundai are growing? Because they offer people the cars they want.                                                                                                                                                 

I don’t know how in your country, but in CZ people (voters of pro-European liberal parties) took out their flashlights by heating and stuck somewhere in the cold all night.

The first time I leave the station is Ferrari. I’ve been watching him for a long time during the repair. Today he is finally ready to return to the owners. Ferrari 365 GT 2 + 2 Pininfarina. 800 pieces in 1967-71. Today’s price is 300 thousand E.

Toyota has already built the Vista Hotel. There is nothing else to see through it.

Seagulls have new victims. Fortunately, ignorant mechanics had the meter of pizza, so the most aggressive of them tried to plunder it in vain. Later, these world-famous men watched in amazement as to what was commonly driven around them and who was driving it. Those twenty-year-old girls behind the wheel of RRs, Brabus´s G, etc.

Finally enough RSM. They were not even in the MC last year. Hyundai also builds vista. So D company. The last one who hasn’t arrived yet.

Long-planned trip to almost 400m to the newly opened Hotel Vista. In 2013, it was bought by the Emir of Qatar. He demolished the whole building and pushed the new building even further above the sea and the MC. after many years of construction, it opened last fall. The first picture is about 200m. There I got a system of MC elevators.

There was no Q, but the parking lot was full. Last photo, view of Cap Martin, behind him Menton and in the distance Ventimiglia (I).

I always say that Saturdays in MC are not worth anything. I’ll say just some. At the Place, it looked like in Douha the market place.

 Dubai and the green Audi will leave you as a riddle. BMW L as Q. Lambo L.

New day. New team. Ford imported a brand new Puma.

The port is again filled with trucks. And the sea with sailboats.

It shines the longest here. I’m sitting at the bus stop in shirt. The harsher temperature drop min. 10 ºC after sunset.

So I haven’t seen this before. And most of all, he had no idea. I lived in the belief that the rally teams had a tent and there the mechanics were correcting what the drivers had done. But this is F1. The center of the rally was always in Valence. This is my cult place. When I go from the  Geneva with TGV, in Valence, all those colorful skiers get off, all the climbing equipment is taken off the train. I haven’t read it anywhere, but Valence is the gateway to the Alps for me.

The farthest come first. at least that’s how I remember it from school. Vanguard 8 !!! trucks for the construction of the foundation.

Half of the port belongs to the rally. The second winter Monaco regatta.

This year, everything is here for the first time. Here, the mechanics will keep the cars in order all night. So far, only 2 Toyota trucks have always arrived for cars on Sunday.

People disappear – cars stay.

The plan was to discover Cannes, where I had not been before. Follow Avenue Carnot to the end. I managed it in an hour and, unlike Nice, Cannes is beautiful everywhere.

Film Palace, I think the most famous modern building in F is undergoing reconstruction. 2 trucks brought these stations. So tomorrow I would like to see the thin arm of the crane at the end lift this load.

In Cannes, unlike MC, “the sun never sets.” In MC he falls behind the mountain already at 15. And not even a ray falls on the Place du Casino in the winter.

The pretty redhead rode as the only passenger on the hop bus. But she hid from us. And only now can I see that at least her dog is watching. And we have a cat!

The renovation of the film palace created an ideal spotter spot. Everything was crowded together. At first I thought it was completely closed. The UAE Dubai thought the same. He turned at the last moment. But I was attentive.

I remember that January was much better than December. For the second year in a row, it’s the other way around.
But let’s not complain. Two years ago there were no trains (gréve) and last year we finally closed at 6 pm .Only we from MC could not arrive until after 19. And the shortest way home.
