I can't believe how much the weather still changes from one week to the next. This time last week, we were enjoying a great day out in Brugg, visiting an old car rally (and this time last year, we were experiencing the hottest day of the year on our wedding day!)... and it is raining hard today, making our small town look rather gloomy.
When we saw in the local newspaper that this event was going to be on 5 minutes away from our house, we naively thought that it would be a small gathering of local enthusiasts with less than 10 cars. Only because last time we were told about an open day in our neighbourhood, we ended up crashing the
local goat breeders' association annual meeting...
But it turned out this time, that this was a huge event, with over 100 members of the Old Timer GP association travelling from all over Switzerland to race theirs cars! For a modest 10CHF a head, you could spend the whole day looking at old cars, old bikes and old military vehicles; watch them race around a 1km track and have a drink... had it not been for the noise being a bit too much for Baby Suisse, we could have spent the whole day there.
Here are some of the special cars we spotted:
 |
| 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible |
 |
| 1936 Citroën 11 BL |
 |
| 1933 Morgan Three Wheeler SS |
 |
| 1956 Maserati 250F |
 |
| 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II |
 |
| 1968 Ford Escort TC |
 |
| 1972 Citroën Aschigs 12 and 1969 VW Käfer |
We'll never cease to be surprised with the quality of the events behind organised in our little corner of La Suisse most weekends!
