Friends

Two more came back today. So there are four now. That’s above all.  World Carspotting Stars of Youtube. It’s a lot of money and yet they remain friends.  The point is to be the first to bring this significant event to the world. A while ago, I was watching and the second person wrote to the first person in a post: “Faster than lightning”. I also said to him the next day: “That was nice of you”.                                                                                           Even though nothing happened that needed to be in the photos. Aston Villa played the Champions League today. So fans (I didn’t see any hooligans) were scattered everywhere. As the planes landed in Nice, they were escorted to the train and here the MC Police took over. It’s impossible to say that they were curious about the Place du Casino. The biggest concentration was in a pubs near the stadium.

Rainy day

only suitable for memories

Mohammed Ben Sulayem hugged me

It´s 4 p.m. Nothing, I’m already looking forward to the 7 p.m. Dinner and radio. They’re preparing the backdrops for RMC at the Place. Why? After all, it doesn’t start until Thursday.

I learn that it is not the beginning of the RMC, but the beginning of the motor racing season. The drivers start to appear and then I see Someone.
The President of the FIA from Dubai. We somehow caught each other’s eye. And when he walks past me, hug me in half , definitely holding my shoulder.

 

Quite a bit of confusion around me. I turn around, thinking I’m in the way and…Takamoto photo from 10cm.

 

Dobrý večer, I hear. Ah, girls, students from Nice. We met about 14 days ago at the Fairmont bend. There’s nothing better than chatting in our mother tongue. I sent them to Amazonico. To that new superclub that the prince opened in December. They came back and said it was temporarily closed.
So this whole event paid for by Hankook (who recently joined the WRC) will have a social part there. And late in the evening Charles, Lando, Fernando, Flavio will come too…
So the girls went to Café de Paris. I only just thought of this. But they won’t get lost.


(The 2 on the edges are Czech, the second from the left is a Czech Asian, they spoke English with the 3rd one)


The two resting on the steps of the Casino are Munster and Louka. Our Jovata is cheering for them.


There is no worse place in the world to take photos than Place du Casino. Shadows all day long and mega-luxs lights in the background. And in the evening? That’s not possible at all. There is no direction from which the spotlight doesn’t shine against you.

The sky is cloudy today

and according to her, so did the whole day.

The expedition reminded that the traditional Rallye Budapest-Bamako  started on Friday. They are recommended to take the ferry from Genoa to MA today, but some choose other routes. There is a huge turnout and always something exotic.


We don’t have much blue today, so a memory of a memorable trip to the second most famous bend after Fairmont.

Sorry. For motorists only.

Guys at the intersection of St. Devote. I arrive: “Bad news. Luxury transport brought to the port of Daytona. But before they dropped it off – they left again towards Fontvielle.” Yes, that’s probably the most in car at the moment.

I was very happy when Daytona appeared in the evening. Already with a blue LP. So she was in the underground of the Technical Control. I saw her twice. Youtubestars by Rolex were silent.

And in the evening Fernando Alonso appeared again. For me, a premiere.
However, the greatest automotive hero of today is Martin Macík (CZ). With a truck, he holds 16th place overall at Dakar. One place behind the factory Toyota Gazoo Racing Hilux. And ahead of many dozens of personal specials. With a truck!


Let’s all be very kind and careful when we arrive at MC. The prison (pic.1) looks like a stylish hotel on a rock with windows to the sea, but…I once told an acquaintance about it. And he was surprised that in MC …Well, read MC matin: an evening fight between young men (definitely not MC), caused an accident in the tunnel…etc. everything was transferred to prison.
But be careful. That’s only until the conviction. Then, according to the agreement, they will be taken to a facility in France. and that will be worse.

From time to time, change is needed

Nice

Charles will also greet you at the Nice airport. In fact, he wouldn’t have to race at all. Advertising campaigns and signing autographs and taking pictures with fans would fill all his time.


He is actually staying at a training camp high in the mountains of South Tyrol. He writes as always. “I love you all.”

That was a chance !

before lunch Costa Rica. If only the boys hadn’t flown in and rented motorbikes.

Little Kate coming to me. All the girls from Asia are called Amy, Emii, Annie… So that’s Kate and she’s trying to make it among the YouTuber wolves. The big boys don’t really accept her. I like to see her and I’ll tell you everything I know.

The Big Girl also arrived. From Kuwait. She’s even been caught going out alone in the evening. Just for that handbag, Czech women would work for an average of 2years. But great! Driving a Lamborghini!

Good evening, Monaco.

There was hope and a chance

but nothing major happened. Far worse is hopelessness.

Actually, the only thing missing is this young man.

Noble tranquility

Monacair. MC-Fontvielle Airport. Line to Nice- CdA. Let’s say the top 20% don’t bother with cars and parking. They land and take off in and from Nice a few dozen meters from other connections. The most common vehicles in the parking lot in MC- black minibuses with dark windows. A few steps and then they go home.                                                               Flight time: under ten minutes. Exclusive view on Eze-sur-Mer, Cap Ferrat, etc. included.


With a memory of yesterday’s show.

I’ve never seen women with heels that thin and high. I’ve never seen women who walk in them like they’re wearing Nike Air.

Mohamed Hamdy’s ceremonial procession has departed


with a Monster Batman car, 1 Rolls Royce Cabrio and 4 Ferraris.

to meet with Russian media. So many nice people. No restrictions, no inhibitions.

It surprises me how the boys are raised. To keep quiet and record from a distance. I was curious about what kind of engine it was. Mister answered me with a smile, willingly, that it was a twelve-cylinder BMW. As with Lando, I was the only one who spoke briefly.
We will return to this fascinating event next time.

Malta surpassed Lando

Lando showed up again today. He stopped briefly at the Metropole. Big change. Some of the reappeared spotters are waiting outside. No chase inside the mall. The run – who knows – just run 10m and you have Lando once again from a bird’s eye view.

And here’s the reason why he’s been visiting the shops for the past two days. Miss! And today he also rolled down the window and gave me a look, like he was looking at an acquaintance.

Lando wins in Miami


The KWT lambo was driven by a woman herself. The boys noticed it. Like everything else.
This is the first time I’ve seen it.

Posted in Spotters

I dealt with Lando unexpectedly early

I met him at the pedestrian crossing and we managed everything with gestures and a smile. He ended up arriving at the Place anyway.

Things weren’t looking good at the Place anymore. A group of fat, ugly, aggressive women surrounded him. No wonder they all hid.

Evenings Nescafe at Mirabeau bend.

Next time I’ll apologize to Lando

For a long time it seemed like a typical stay in Bains de mer. Sitting, having a coffee… until the Place…

Lando Norris (vice F1 world champion 2024) car. But that Lp! My weakness has worked again. If I don’t know, I’ll start with the most incredible. Some Falklands upside down. What could be the island of L? Well Lando, of course!

If there were 2 L. But I’ve never seen this before. So I walked half the square with Lando and he assured me that UK. I was left feeling embarrassed.
1. only calmly, when it was all over. Of course this possibility exists (very old and very rare).
2. I was subsequently met with deep admiration that I had spoken to such a star


And this is how Lando departs from the iPhone perspective of the man in white.

I think Lando must have been rather pleased by my distrust. That was what he wanted. To have an Lp like no other.

The hardest fate yet

caught up with the German-speaking father of the family. He sat down next to us at the Fairmont turn and said: “Well, I won’t go any further until I see at least one Ferrari”. After about three minutes, the family standing there started to persuade him: “Let’s go, let’s go…” And miraculously nothing. After about ten minutes of insistence, he gave in. I told him to go. “Armer Mann”. He just looked back sadly. Yes. Coming to MC and not seeing a single Ferrari – that’s a tragedy.

This is not this place from photo. And it’s not MC either. Leaving MC and not even meeting Charles – that’s a disaster. But I don’t wonder why he’s hidden. But it’s a beautiful hidden place. Without people, without tourists. Czech footprint: Pavel Nedvěd, football.

So, a pleasant first third. The second – spotter – empty. And the third. A very traditional escape to Fontvielle. Through a tunnel of horror and you are in a completely different city. You can even sit on the wall and the police won’t come for you. A man on a scooter greets the Bugatti driver familiarly. He answers him anyway. I ask: “Who was that?” .” Here’s our YouTuber.”

Public thanks to Riviera Radio for Everything but the Girl: Missing. They released it a few days ago and it caught my attention so much that I immediately went to the playlist. And since then on YouTube many times. And if I’m not on YouTube, at least the mood of the song is with me. If you play it, the original clip with the train. And the lyrics that run under the singing. That’s a huge service for me, because I don’t understand anything from the singing at all. Beautiful speech. Everything is beautiful. The clip, the singing, the lyrics – it’s beautiful.


The fan should have held the umbrella above their heads. It would have been an even better photo.

We are taking a new breath.

Overlooked DZ. The hundreds of Hotel de Paris employees will only be taking care of 2 guests today.

The feeling all day that nothing is working. And a surprising evening total. 38 – a return to the old numbers.

It was raining, was liquidated, we were left alone

Without a bike. MC in the fog. That’s Roquebruine in front, MC is practically invisible. That Roq. Both Menton once belonged to MC. That was a big country.
Without a bike, time to explore. There are many paths leading from the station hidden deep in the rock. And also 3 elevators. Until your ears hurt. So first the moving walkway and then elevator no. 3, which I have never ridden before. And this is what it looks like there.

That Range Rover is playing around. Every day you see someone end up in the depths of the police system. Probably a garage F with GB. Responsible today because of low traffic. Most of the pieces are BG, RO, L and UK. Star of the last period B today 0. Pleased with 1 DK, 1N and 1 BIH. 3 weeks nothing and today the very first Lp. The mystery of the red Porsche will probably remain unsolved. It was parked under the Monte Carlo One complex, where mainly Russians live (including Sasha Zverev), perhaps it was a copy of an old Soviet one.

And then there’s security. The prince has appointed a new police chief. He’s Eric Arella, a famous French police officer, commander of anti-gangster and anti-terrorist operations. He’s supposed to ensure even more order and security in the safest country in the world. He certainly didn’t like the nightly chases in full traffic with the participation of children. The MC has opened a new police headquarters with an operations room, where they monitor the current situation with the help of AI. Not like everywhere else, when something happens, they look for records.

 

Monaco is guarding its name. The Qataris built a fantastic hotel above the MC in F. And under the name “With a view of Monaco”. And the MC in the background, as I photographed it. They had to take everything down after a protracted and expensive legal battle.

I have long thought that the only two great countries in Europe that care exclusively about the good life of their citizens in all aspects, and not about any foreign wars foreign countries, are Switzerland and Monaco.

Only Italy celebrated

I was worried about this strange day. But one half hour made the difference.

Aston Martin Valkyrie, Premiere, another one from a completely starry sky. Lp remain at the same level, but I have never experienced such a harvest of superhypercars. David Coulthardt has one, but he has what I know GBG Lp.

Up on the Place, as well as down on the market – thousands of Italians. I know last year they didn’t work until mid-January. How can anyone still enjoy that?


Woche 55 (+-0). Heute noch DZ, AL, MNE. So es fehlte nur BIH.

I miss my colleagues.

Go the Pagani Utopia II. and then my longed-for Frangivento GT65. Premiere. Perhaps the biggest catch a spotter can have. And the boys are nowhere to be found.

I’d rather see them. at least one. Otherwise I have a bad feeling that I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Nobody is even up on the Place there. Unbelievable. They are either at some private supercars event or in a beautiful MC prison with a view of the sea.

So of course I don’t know who owns the second Utopia (the first one was Sutil) or who drove the Frangivento with a max. of 385 km/h associated with Loris Capirossi.

A little look back at the past year

An unexpectedly high number of states – 89. Just like in 2018. The only higher number (91) was the legendary year 2019.
It really fit together incredibly. And into the constant feeling that nothing was going on – one state after another came.
I don’t believe that something like this can happen again this year.

 

…and we already remember the ending…

Elon, move the planet! You are hope, you are a miracle!

A planet, at least the so-called western part of which is full of lies, hatred, lack of freedom…

Posted in Spotters

First new catch of the year

During the day, it was already felt that the visitor grip had loosened. The French were completely at work, Italy was moderate. In the western part of the MC, there was an icy wind (the locals know if it was Scirocco or Mistral or…), on the leeward side, calm and warm.

The GBG here (in GE) are almost all the ones from the auction. With a zero in front. None 84 372. Local guys worked with us until late in the evening. Those a generation younger than those YouTube guys. Incredibly smart. I was an exotic to them because they asked me if I didn’t speak English properly, if I spoke French, no, and Italian, no. They were so helpless and amazed. They had never seen anything like that before. I say German.The amazement did not leave them. . I ask, you’re from the International School of Monaco? Not from Collége Charles III. It only occurred to me then that the English must be the mother tongue of one of the parents. It was great and perfect.
They stayed until late in the evening and of course I remembered how I used to move around the center and hunt for Lp when I was their age.


It’s 11pm, I’m getting ready for bed and I’ll check what the boys are up to. And look! Our little hero caught Fernando Alonso an hour ago.

Today didn’t have the right solution

After yesterday’s experience at MC – mostly gone. I’ve already been to Cannes. So it was exactly the same today. Stifled by totally lifeless traffic. So I’ll check MC again in the evening. Even worse. Place full of UA carriages at (8 pm, we know from PRG even at 11 pm) and thickened with a crowd of self-proclaimed amateur youtubers. Nothing new at all, just F, a little I, CH and L.

When you stay in Cannes at the Carlton and you don’t want to take your dog out – you call the reception (maybe the concierge) and a few moments later a girl in a beautiful Hotel Carlton uniform is standing outside the door of your room. She even has boards with all the necessities for walking your dog.

So 42 states in total until the new year. I had for dinner linguine with Parmigiano Reggiano Dop and Monini Peperoncino oil and I’m listening to Riviera radio. It seems like it wasn’t such a bad day after all.
But definitely don’t go to the Place at this time. This is not MC. It’s like when those revolutions happen and the crowd then goes wild in those palaces, gardens, etc.

South Korea closed the year

CZ buses won at the Oceanographic Museum. Both floors were full today. And there was still a wait outside. For a long time it seemed that he would only stay with Q. When suddenly…

They didn’t even let cars into the Plaza anymore. They would just stand there anyway. So they made exceptions. If you arrived in a Ferrari or a Rolls Royce, you were allowed to continue. This is what it must look like every day in the summer.

Some fled, others replaced them

These days I’m staying down at the port as long as possible. On my way home from lunch, Ricardo, one of the five most elite YouTubers, stopped by. Hard job. All day, one eye on the circuit, the other on the screen. And nights, downloading to all sorts of platforms. I envy the guys, the million visitors to each video. That it makes sense. The all-day stress of not missing something that will attract viewers – no. I sit quietly and watch the people, the sky, the birds…

I only go to the Plaza once a day for the shortest possible check. Today, the stress from the crowd improved my KWT. ​​All the crossings are filled with thousands of visitors, paralyzing traffic and nothing makes sense anymore. The Monegasques, at least the this two-thirds recognized as millionaires, of course fled. Just like when the GP is held, etc.

RSM crashed his autonomy car

Sunday noon, port. Only 3 visitors. Also CZ. They just spoke with CZ : 3° C, fog, a blanket of smog. Extremely pleasant meeting.

My MC “kamarádka”.

Metropole garage. A man drives out of a parking space. He can’t get out. He’s playing with his phone or keys in his hand. The car returns to its parking space by itself. Bang. There are two depths. The navigation only understood the deeper one. My first encounter with an autonomous car didn’t go well.


We also talked about Charles. The MC Auto Club is showing a great film about this year’s GP. Absolutely the highest quality and sharpness of the picture. The prince cried, the ice sphinx Charlene cried, I cried at the TV too.


Woche 55 (+5) ,einer der besten Ergebnissen überhaupt. Es fehlte an BIH u. RKS. Es wird sich lange nicht wiederholen.

More additions – the week will be strong

Fasting suddenly turned into a feast – GBG. Finally, the best day 40 states so far.

Eco Africa Race, this year for the first time with the subtitle Monaco-Dakar. I wouldn’t be surprised if next year it will be the main title.
MC has certainly made its mark on the Eco name. They will certainly be happy there when Tomáš Tomeček arrives in Africa with his 12-cylinder, roaring and smoking Tatra.

While everything else is stagnating, the number of motorbikes is increasing and the quality is getting better. The whole team of Japanese riders is starting. But you can enjoy the rising sun only in overalls. The motorbikes were prepared by an Italian professional team. So at least we have AUS.

Just like yesterday. At half past four, traffic starts to thicken. And after an hour, MC is a standing gathering place for F and I cars. That’s all.

In the first 6 days of the week, we have already seen: FL, RSM, AND, GBG, USA, UAE, Q, KWT, TN, KZ, CHN, ET, MA, AM, CDN, J, AUS etc.

The lost son overcame the rally

Greetings from lovely Italy. In 3 villages at the end (or beginning?) of the country, adventurers are forming for the desert journey to Dakar. And among them, the long-lost GBG, an acquaintance from Beaulieu, from Nice CdA, etc. got involved. A senior from a prosperous island went to the bank with his young African wife and child. And the parking lot was ruled by a rally today. That’s why he hasn’t been seen for about 2.3 years. I don’t wonder about him. He has the same sea and pays a third less. And what’s more, he doesn’t have to listen to Ukrainian and Russian at every step.

 

The Japanese man probably went to a kindergarten in Bordighiera to have the children draw him a Lp of J.

MC is about admiration. Italy is my heart. Observing and listening to people. Their speech, gestures, clothes, joy of life. The cars in MC are amazing, the old Fiat 1100 are memories, something much deeper, more affecting. On the way back from Villacrosio (The train only stops there every 2 hours.) I immediately reported to the beautiful young miss conductor that I couldn’t find the ticket box at all. “That’s no problem at all” she says and devotes herself to fixing the automatic doors, So I helped her the rest of the way. And she really fixed it.

Giallo ???

Long (very long) awaited

License plate Egypt ET, alltime Premiere as 125th alltime and 89th 2024.

Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Hamdy has arrived in MC. Maybe just a car for now. I still believe in outdoor pictures.
Lp servers write that ET should have 3 numbers and 3 letters or something like that. I calmed down because the internet lists several of these VIP Lp, very short ones.


China spent the night at the church, I accidentally deleted MA, AM. 37 states.

The calmest day turned into a fireworks display

Does it even make sense to leave beautiful Menton?

Nothing is going on, I’m sitting on the wall in the Fairmont bend. The guys (MC youtube stars) are bored so they sit with me. We sit until dusk and the cold has driven us away.  Speaking English very soon brings me psychological stress with hints of a headache. They are fascinated by how car names are pronounced in Germany. They pronounce everything in English, probably like everywhere else in the world. So I have to answer that AMG is not “ejemdji” but “áemgé”, that VW is “fauvé” etc. But I’m not complaining, of course I’m glad I have them.

China is standing in the parking lot for MC visitors to the Church of St. Devote. Perhaps because of this, perhaps because of the damaged car, the driver (see background) is being investigated by the police.


As night fell, the situation changed completely. Guests started arriving. Especially CH and also P. And with them:                                                                                                                            Alltime Premiere                                                                                                                              We’ll save that for next time. Billionaire affair including LP for billionaires, a little different from what you can find on the internet as a model. I have to prepare for possible comments. Raphael, I promise, will have a lot of professional work.

Charles went to MEX

So I could leave too. To the Côte d’Azur. All alone in the train carriage. On the left, the endless beach of Biot. A bike and sunshine. I’m listening to Marc Almond and Soft Cell loudly. It’s for these moments that you’re here.

Cannes, Golfe Juan, Antibes, Nice-CdA

Construction work in Cannes and Antibes is already on a downward trend. But GBA and the others have disappeared with them too.

I like the architecture of the new Nice. God, why do D and CZ build those cumbersome Hitler Barracks everywhere? In the same style.

I stop by the store in MC. I miss tomatoes, juice and Ricolla CH candies. It’s 7 pm, it’s open normally and normal songs are playing on the radio at home.
With violent aggressive Christmas in CZ? Little, very little in common.


Oh, and don’t forget. In Cannes, they had incredibly lush green grass. And when I got out of train in Antibes, the station smelled like lilies of the valley.


And I counted 39 countries.

Time before the final finish (act.)


Alex Leotard

I’m sending you a link to a video from my fellow YouTubers. You have Penelope, her mother Kelly and Verstappen here.
They have Verstappen leaving this place. And look at the world. No one in the comments is offended. On the contrary, many criticize Verstappen for his arrogance and inaccessibility.

I trust that you will not send me your hate messages anymore. It was an exceptionally wonderful day for me and I don’t want you to spoil my stay at MC anymore. I don’t visit sites that I don’t like.


I think my site is a good service about what Lp are found here, in PRG, Geneva, on the Northern route… Sometimes there can be useful information and once in a long time even a good photo. Is the most important thing in all this to take care of an arrogant billionaire?!
I even wanted to quit. But then I remembered Jovata, raphael, etc… So here I am again.


Glamcar, the co. that brought Christijan Albers’ car some time ago was also carrying this gem. I think it’s an old CY? I absolutely love these LPs when everything looked like GB.
