On the way back from Turino, I took the SS27 over the Great St. Bernard Pass.

Early last Sunday morning, at 2,473 meters up, it was surprisingly cold. A successful round trip of 2000 km the old gal performed perfectly, a little thirsty, but I put that down to uncontrolled bursts of 170 Km/H on the autobahn -

The drive is fantastic, amazing scenery, and a super quiet hairpin littered road.

Anyhoo, here she is after crossing back into Switzerland.

I was at my local "Old Timer" show a couple of weeks ago, obviously loads of BMW's, a few verts, mostly 318's, but tons of Baur's.

I'm looking forward to it Steve! I hate facebook with a passion!

The build threads on here were in depth and people always took the time to read it and take notes from other peoples lessons.

Feels like facebook is just a likes contest, noone actually looks through they just click like and move on.
This exactly. I actually like how the zone is "harder to access" as it acts as a filter.

Most of the people on here are legitimately here to learn and contribute, which is what makes this place excellent.

Can't wait till Steve has the new zone up and running though and I can finally upload pictures. (I hate third party hosting with a passion, just as much as facebook).

Bit of marmite for ya.
Taken at the pod several years ago. It’ll have to do as it’s still at danthe’s!

Edited, found a shot of it when I bought it in 2007. Haven’t seen this photo for years!
