A memorable WE picking up my first indy

Dear All,


Here are a few pics of a fantastic WE in Geneva, I drove there with my wife and kids to pick up something very special!




First a refueling stop in Vevey




I meant « driver and passenger » refueling smile




And here it is! Sarpaneva Moomin, LE of 100 pieces with 25*4 different hand colours. Mine are “flame blue.




Morning light shows the blue hands over a monochromatic dial




Which immediately gets some magic in the shades




View from the hotel - quite cold wink








We took a small detour on the way back to Zurich: the road from Geneva to Le Brassus was extremely fun, even on winter tires!




Another lume shot: each dial has a unique combination of hand applied luminova… because “dreams come alive at night”

Cheers

Seb

Sarpaneva is my favorite indie watchmaker, and this Moomin-inspired line is one of his most original creations yet! Thanks a bunch for the outstanding candid pictures, they convey the design and details much better than processed press shots! Enjoy it tho... 

Huge Congrats and excellent catch

And lovely car. Your kids must be very small to fit Cheers, John

I don’t give them the choice for several reasons

1) the rear space of the 992 is surprisingly decent 2) they’re 11 and 7 so not that tall yet 3) when I was their age my father was driving a Renault 21, I had plenty of rear space, actually wished I had a lot less =>my thinkin: my kids will be confortable...  

Excellent! :)))

Your kids fit in the backseat?

Wow, I'm surprised the car fit luggage for 2 adults and 2 kids!

Awesome!

I didn't know the 911 was so practical!

It can be for some but not for most

The actual model/version can also make a difference... ...  

Hmmmmmm! Yours?

Very nice GT3 Touring!

This engine is probably going to be the last "emotional" engine Porsche produces.

A future dinosaur...😉

T-Rex Likes this GT3!

We're the dinosaurs. And we dinosaurs like 9000 rpm redlines! Long live high revving emotional cars!

Yes, what exactly is going to match 9k rpm's in the future?

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : February 1st, 2022-02:37
...  

I shudder to think... Like dinosaurs, the high revving cars will soon be extinct!

I'm counting my pennies for a sports car. But I'm really far off.

Magic!
