    Just came back from the famous Coupe des Alpes in France

    Just come back from the famous Coupe des Alpes in France (www rallystory.com) . Three days of sun, hillclimbs, fun and nice peoples. Many passes. The highest was the Col de la Bonette, with 2715 meters high!
    We were 140 classic cars, many brands, beautiful cars, like a Ferrari 275 GTB, a Carrera 3.0 RS, a work's Lancia Stratos Gr4, and more. It was the 50th birthday of the win of Alpine Berlinetta. The winner, Jean Vinatier (84 years old…), participated at the rallye and told to everybody a lot of nice stories of the 60's. It was an Alpine commemoration, with somme classics and three new Renault Alpine.
    For me especially, I was extremely pleased about Trudi, which have a new injection pump from Freisinger. The renovated gearbox with new synchro was also perfect. She has now 38'000 km since 2011 and always fast and reliable. Lucky me…

    Xavier, it was not a long time ago you did the Coupes des Alpes with me! 2015 precisely. And the event was as breathtaking as ever. Except for the number of bikers and cyclists... Because the Coupe des Alpes has to wait for the opening of the passes (Col de l'Iseran was still closed because of the snow) and to avoid the busy roads with the french vacations (beginning of july), there is not a big gap for the date! The bikers and the cyclists have the same problem, meaning everybody is on the passes on the same time. In the future, this crowding could be a thrill for our beautiful Coupe des Alpes. Let see. I heard the portuguese roads are free and perfect in autumn. Good to know…

    Concours d'Elegance du Château de Coppet 2018

    Saturday, I visited this event which is becoming famous in Switzerland and in Europe as well. Not very far from the Concours d'Elegance de Chantilly in France.

    Somme wundervoll cars. Just one Porsche. The 2.2 S 1970 of my friend Jack Logan. He participated with her at the Tour de France historique and finished 6th! Congratulations Jack!
