Thanks very much mate!

Holy SH*T YO! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I saw an advert for this event in Classic & Sportscar and it looked crap in there but damn.. there was SO much more than i though possible :shock: .

To mention a few

The Iso Grifo is just awesome full stop. The Auto Union D-Type is Spectacular and it's meant to sell off for like 10 million is it not

Don't even get me started on the Pregunta from the autodrome, im sure it's a one off . The breadvan was from the event TT went to right or is it a different one?8) . I cannot stop drooling over that 250gto and the blue monte carlo looks the part . I could go on forever describing more and more

Thanks so much for the pics, this has made my day

Hmmm, for me, all carshows are always overcrowed! :x
In Paris, I never go on this type of show on the week end, that's clear because it's really awful. So, I 've taken one day holiday and I decided to go on a monday because I was thinking it would be clearer.
Two problems :
- it wasn't so clear, there were quite a lot of people...less than in "The Mondial of Paris" for sure but the location for Retromobile is very smaller. So less people in less space, you've got almost the same concentration of persons.
- the second problem was that the Christies auction was finished... and public wasn't allowed anymore to enter the stand. My brother had gone before the auction and he has said me it was impossible to take any pics because more than one hundred visitors were on the stand.
I have edited all my pics this week end, I'll make a special page on my web site soon.
