Occasional Observations

A weekend participating in the Freising Oldtimerfreunde Alpentour 2007 rally with my colleague Gerry has reawakened my interest in cars and is probably going to prove expensive. After two days of cranking up and down Italian mountain passes in a 1984 Mercedes 280SL my interest has been piqued and I'm hooked (again) by wind-in-the-hair motoring. We weren't bothered by the little bit of rain, again it was Italian rain.

More to come soon - meanwhile here's one of the 100-plus snaps: on the Austrian/Italian border on the 2509-meter Timmelsjoch pass.
