So, there is this regional website launched a couple of months ago by a friend of mine, JC, the guy with the 550 and 355. We crossed our ways sevral times already, at local meetings and even at the Nürburgring this summer

Since his website is about car reviews too, I just asked him if there was a way for me to take pics of them and well, I sort of became the official photograph!
The forums is pretty slow, we have less than 50 members, but it will hopefully grow. Anyway, to start knowing eachother, and to take pics of the members' cars, I tried to put together a meeting/drive. It worked LOL! I have to say thanks to Seb (yellow Elise) for the logistics help and to all the others who took their cars for a spin in a day with absolutely awfull weather conditions! In the end we had 20+ cars, even if a couple of them just stopped by in the morning before we left for our loop and restaurant! It's a lot!
You will also find a couple of JW members' cars in there, leo's Impreza and Shini's SLK55, thanks guys!
For the records, for the whole trip I was passenger in the 360 and 550, so a special thanks goes to Frank and JC for beeing so kind and generous!
Now let's hope to attract more car nuts and have 50 cars the next time.. and the sun too maybe

Well, we talked about it for about 30 pages on asphalte.ch but no other advertising. Not sure such meeting would attrack lot of ppl, but when lot of ppl come, it's harder to take good pics

we did a loop from Lausanne to the Lac de joux and back to lausanne.
we should do another drive after the winter I guess

komotar · 10-08-2005, 04:57 PM

No problem about the 4200 8)

I hope tomorrow goes to plan

I hope the weather plays along

I sure hope you'll have an opurtunity to take pics of a certain orange car.....

Very nice pics as usual. You've really captured the colors of the Murcielago and green elise well! and that black NSX is very sleek, do you think you'll be getting any road tests in those cars in the future?

TT · 10-08-2005, 05:52 PM

As I was saying, I should have three road tests and in depth features tomorrow yes, a yellow, a black and an orange car

let's keep crossing the fingers

SilviaEvo · 10-08-2005, 06:00 PM
