Wow!
Thanks for sharing these really cool shots of the event. Met someone two days ago, who has participated this year but we somehow did not get to pictures (was late in the evening). 
Spectacular is all I can say 
So are you planning on being in one of the cars in 2017? 
Mille Miglia 2016 – Impressions of a first timer
An event sponsored by my favorite brand Chopard, and I always wondered what it would be like. Would there only be cars with Chopard registration? 2016 was the year to find out! Time to bring a former participant back to an event,… …when the historical cit...
Part 1 – Heritage and style
For heritage First up, a winner… …and some of the contestants This Jaguar supposedly participated in 5 of the major race events in 1950 and is still going strong. Time for authentic style ==> Continue to part 2 ...
Part 2 – An event for friends, couples and family
Friends Couples Family ==> Continue to part 3 ...
The atmosphere.
Really fantastic and unique. I mean, I have been to other old timer events but nothing compared. Have you been to a MM? Thanks for watching.
Part 3 – Invent, celebrate and have fun
Invent things like: New aerodynamic kits Sun shades New way of painting Anti-theft protection Temperature indicator Once you reached the finish line, it is time to celebrate! Some celebrate with champagne (empty bottle on the roof) Or the goodies that wer...
There seems to be a LOT of pushing of the cars going on !??!
Is that a requirement for environmental protection and noise pollution? Or were those cars "unwell"? Regards, MTF
It's a little bit of a pity
But approaching the finish line on the ramp, the cars had to line up in Viale Venezia. The pushing we see on most of the pictures is certainly a result of people wanting to avoid overheating their engines while in the queue. Not like this guy here who los...
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 an...
Appreciate your feedback Blommann.
It\'s one of these occasions, which you can\'t really capture on pictures but I tried.
Kolosstt!!! Great report!!!!!
This was fantastic in every respect. Great photography! Great commentary! Thank you so much for sharing it. Really, really great stuff. Best,
Really that many "!"?
Thank you for your reply Jed. I'm glad if you enjoyed it. Best regards, kolosstt
So, let's try to retard this 1 tonne car with this puny stick....?
Kolosstt, Thanks for a passionate report. Now, I see why Chopard likes classic racing. The sunshine sure looks better than the rain on Day 1. My favourite photo was of this chap showing optimism in the retardation he could muster with a skinny metal rod.....
I guess he is a little bit like Nadal?
Thank you for your words MTF. It was actually my most favorite picture in the "action" category, as we can see how he reaches out of the car, still trying to be protected by the windscreen maybe because his cigar should be safe. I didn't see this guy's ar...
Such a pleasure reading and especially looking at all those pictures!!
That is such a special event. Love it that all those cars are being used for exactly the purpose they have been build for: driving/racing! Would love (and will do some day) to attend this rally. All the spectators also really go nuts over this. The Italia...
Thank you for your opinion and contribution Arie!
You are a lucky man seeing your car on Flüelapass since this year most of the roads are still closed. When I drove home on Monday, I was briefly wondering if RWD and summer tires are good combination in this conditions. Great story of yours and keep this ...
Participating is going to be though
Although I will gladly offer myself as a driver if somebody would need one
Ok, all we need is a car.
As I offered myself further below as qualufied co-driver, and you now volunteered as driver, all we need is somebody volunteering a car. As easy as that. Let's keep looking. ...smiling...
Wow!

I'd wish.
I mean, I have a flyback chronograph, which should qualify me enough as a co-driver. Anybody looking for one can contact me via PM. Or you tell me the lottery numbers, so I can stop working and I'll set something up myself. Really liked the event and can ...
Meant to go see it :)
As for participation, well that may take longer. And if and when I\'m that far will definitely let you know
You've got to try.
If it works, I think we will be in deep trouble. But to compensate for that, I'll invite you for dinner. *thumbsup* I just played lottery for more than 2 decades.... ...
Thank you for taking these great shots.
I love the Porsche 550 in part three of your great shots. So many cool classic cars enjoyed by their owners not sitting in the vault. Thanks Bill
Enjoyed by their owners indeed.
Happy you found something for your eyes. There were few more 550 and I searched them up for you: I am not an expert but although seeing some differences, this should be 550. Kind regards, kolosstt ...
I love those old Porsche 550 and 356
Thank you very much for the extra pictures. Very much appreciated. Bill
