Part 4 – Loyal customers and first-hand contact

Some of you might be regular visitors. For these two examples pictured below, I count at least 6 or even 12 participations.

Now, what do I bring home after my first time attending the event? – The experience was certainly special to see so much history and class united in such an event upholding memories of past times. Besides the fact that many cars are museum pieces and unless “you are Mercedes” like she is…

… you will hardly get an invitation to drive their inventory around.

I really like the fact that these antiques are brought out and some actually act really serious about the race portion of the event. Also note the dirt on most of the cars resulting from first day of the race in rain.

Let’s face it, 1000 miles in four days will by far not be any comfortable like in most of the cars we would be driving around. On some of the days, the cars started as early 6.30am and only arrived at their destination around 9.00pm.

This needs and in fact, I could sense the passion in the atmosphere of the event. Passion equally from those guys that most likely employ their own team of mechanics to maintain their cars, but also from a bit more regulars that put loads of sweat, money and time into this hobby just to relive a moment of the past.

Going there, you will certainly find purists and as this is watchprosite.com , I also spotted nice things concerning watches. Arranging a GTG in the aftermath of the 1000 Miglia event, would certainly bring some nice pieces together. Maybe here in the Classic Racing Club?

Of course, Chopard had the overwhelming majority in terms of wrist presence, but seeing classics like Rolex’ Paul Newman, PP’s Nautilus and AP’s Royal Oaks and even Richard Mille in action, it certainly shows that cars and watches have a strong connection.

Counting one and one together, the latter and the special passionate atmosphere would make me proud to sponsor such event (and no, I only dream of owning a watch manufacture … ..). Let's not forget the volunteers and all other supporters. May there be lots of oil left, so even if we all drive around in electric cars, but this event shall never vanish.

Will I go back? – Yes, I will, and especially to see more action like this:

Caption: That looks like much more than just fun to me.

I hope you enjoyed reading / watching.

Kind regards,
