company from Maranello concentrated totally on Formula 1 where it ultimately
became a legend on account of a multiple world champion from Germany called

The Retromobile in Paris is usually the European season opener, this edition
opened even a week earlier than the previous years. Being in its 35th year this fair
has far more history than all of the other fairs in Europe. Part of her success is the
fact the she always was true to herself being a small ... more >>> |
The 35th annual Retromobile classic car show was moved forward a month this
year from its regular February date, so that it clashed with the Cavallino Classic
in Florida, plus the major international auctions in Arizona. All three venues draw
international audiences, so it was a shame that it couldn't have kept its regular
date, as it is always a great pre-season meeting place to catch up with friends
and colleagues. Let's hope that it returns to its familiar February date in 2011. |

The special exhibition will continue over the Ester weekend. Beside last years
Goodwood Festival of Speed there were few opportunities to see 9 Silver Arrows
together in the past so this is a good reason for a journey to Ingolstadt, even if you do
not collect a new car. As Ingolstadt is the home town of the head office and the
production of the Audi AG many of the new owners pick up their cars directly at the
factory. Beside a works visit and the the group photograph during the receipt of the
new family member a visit to the ... more >>> |
