Occasional Observations

Next year will be the 10th annual Alpentour, and Gerry's fifth: he and I have been starting to think about a suitable car to enter into the 2008 event. It has to be a convertible and of course a head-turner - we ain't got the money to buy into the Ferrari league. Ideas? Email me.

Meanwhile as we ripped up the A95 autobahn on the way home, our mirrors were suddenly full (and I mean full) of silver Lamborghini: not any old Lambo but a Gallardo. He came out of nowhere - and was just as quickly gone. By the time we'd found the camera and turned it on, the Lambo was already vanishing. Not surprising for a car with a v-max of 300-plus kmh, on a pretty open autobahn.
