Just finished watching the Le Mans 24 hr, Audi finished 1 2 3

Were they using the diesel engines again this year, Joan?

I can't be sure but I think they were, I believe the car that came 4th was a petrol, don't quote me on that though. Here's a report I've just found.

Audi reclaim Le Mans 24 hours | Sport | guardian.co.uk

Our neighbor back in Solingen, the local pub owner, is a car collector. He has two Lamborghinis, some Porsches, some really beautiful oldtimers etc. He called a moment ago asking when are we coming over there next time, he would like to show something. Because the problems with my mother-in-law's health, I told him I'm not sure.

He was so keen to show the newest addition to his collection, bought yesterday, he then send a photo to my mobile phone. It's a Mercedes Benz 220 S, from my birth year 1959:



Two other goodies from his collection. First, a beautiful BMW from 1962, I took the photo at an oldtimer rally in our village two years ago, I was participating as a co-driver:



And my older son Teemu ready to take a spin with my friends Lamborghini Diablo from 1996:



Beautiful cars!

Nice, very Nice

I can spend days looking at vintage car shows.

Today it was 92 degrees. I'm sure where Derek lives it was even hotter as he lives farther inland. A Guy

It was 97 F at home yesterday. Makes me glad I am in Washington state.
