Hey Guys
Here the first of a few Parts taken at the famous Concorso d'Eleganza at Lake Como. These I've taken at the grounds of Villa d'Este.

And yes, it's raining (part-time) and the 12 degrees celsius feel more like -10, but I won't die because the Cars keep my heart warm :)

Hey Guys

What a stunning Car, the Bugatti 57SC Atlantic from 1938, at the Concorso d'Eleganza 2013 at Villa d'Este. It's from 1938, has 8 cylinders with 3257 cc. The owner of it is nothing less than Mister Ralph Lauren, from the US, himself. It's starting in Class B with the number 24. The coachwork was once done by Jean Bugatti.

Hey Guys

To fit perfectly to the luxorious environment BMW unveiled the whole outcome of their first collaboration with Pininfarina at the grounds of Villa d'Este during the Concorso d'Eleganza at Lake Como in Italy on Friday evening, the Pininfarina BMW Gran Lusso Coupe.

Pininfarina's task was it to add their distinctive signature to a high-end luxury Car. Typical BMW proportions like a long wheelbase, stretched bonnet and set-back greenhouse were completed by Pininfarinas eye for the special thing.

Roadtrip to IMM 2013 - Day 2

Riley Elf IMM 2013

Hey Guys

After a sun-rain-snow-rain first Day the second didn't start better: Rain, of course! When we arrived at Lake Garda, after 150 km driving, the rain finally stopped and after our Lunch-Break, when it was my turn again to drive, even the sun came out and Nicole and I opened our MINI Knightsbridge Roof!

A more detailed Review of the Car will follow the next Days, but what I really liked while driving our little MINI - everyone is SO friendly and positive about the Car!
After Lake Garda we switched from small roads to the Autostrada and soo many Truck Drivers gave us signals while driving by (It wasn't because of weird driving, definitely not!) or so so many heads turned around when they overtook us as we were driving chilly with 100 - 130 km/h on the right lane. Normally I'm one of those People always driving on the left lane, if I have a suitable Car, but this time I haven't even missed driving fast, overtaking anyone, making time good etc. The almost 8 hours of driving passed by so quickly that I haven't even time to complaint about anything. We had cassettes (!) with cool Music, sang and danced to them while listening songs like "Move on up" by Curtis Mayfield .. LOUD.

Sometimes I was really sad for the Car because of bumps on the Street. But Knightsbridge was always loyal!
