Thankyou so much 2018 organisers Paul, Rick, Pascal and anyone else even remotely involved in the organising of this wonderful event. Once again you gave us fantastic roads, food, wine, hotels, cars and friends So much has gone into this event & without your efforts we would be using our cars less and not have the great memories.

Cheers Guys

Hi all,

Almost a week after the 2018 Euro Event ! I spent a lot of time converting, editing and uploading some videos of this wonderful event, which I would like to share.

I hope that everybody was safely back home, including the 12 participants (6 cars) of the convoy to Paul Bracq's Ateliers.
Dieter and Gary, you will leave to morrow, just before the bad weather arrives. I wish you a very good filght.

I would like to join my voice to those who thanked Rick, Paul and Pascal, our organizers, who set up this incredibly successful event. The challenge will be impossible to meet for the next event.

Here is a link to 4 videos covering Friday 27, Saturday 28, plus Thursday 26 (travel from Nimes to La martre with Pascal) and Sunday 30 and Monday oct 1st (from La martre to Millau and home in Perigord with the convoy to Paul Bracq's Ateliers).

We also would like to thank Pascal, Paul and Rick for organizing and everybody contributing to the event.
Our expectations were high and fully met

It was wonderful to see you all again (including some new faces)!

We arrived in Finland yesterday. On our way back we spent a day at Cité de l'Automobile in Mulhouse. It was nice to compare the Bugatti replica we saw earlier to the original ones

We also arrived back safely in the Netherlands last Friday. I did wash the car, so necessary after over 5000km's of combined rally driving (SLS Rallye) and the European Event.

I posted my pictures as follows:

My Facebook timeline also has a little driving video.

On the Bugatti replica, it is indeed running a standard MGB engine (1798 cc 4 cylinder), but the owner said the car weighs less than 1000kg's so the 95 HP give it enough fun to drive.

Look forward to seeing the next issue of Pagoda World!

Jean Michel thanks for sharing thise nice photographs and video clips.

To everyone else, also thanks for sharing your photos.

Peter, also here Your second link is not working.

Garry Marks is still in the air at his last flight to get back home, I guess he is the last one to get back onto Home turf. We both left on Sunday Oct 7th, I got home last night and it will be Tuesday before Garry lands in Melbourne.

Traveling to and from our Euro Event might have been long, however, time spend with friends and memories are priceless.

Nice initiative to go to the Ateliers. One question, the poster in the third of your images "1963-2013" is it available for sale?
Would look nice on the Garage wall

Hi Hans,

I got word back from Boris Bracq regarding your poster question. Please see his message below.

——————————- QUOTE ———————-

Hello Rolf,
I hope you return safely and that you are fine.
Unfortunately, we have no more poster of the one your member would like tout have (victim of its success...).
However, if he wants, we will have an alternative as we are preparing a calendar in which the image of the poster will be one of the twelve pictures. We will print 100 calendars that should be ready for sale beginning of November.
If he is interested, please tell me so I make sure to book one for him.
Kindly,
Boris

——————— end of Quote of Message from Boris ————-

I think the calender would make Nice prints for your garage as the months roll by. You can frame them and it may just include the one you wanted. Keep an eye out in the first part of November when Boris offers the calender 2019 for Sale.

Best,

Dieter

At the first proper European Event we visited this museum and had a private showing of the bits of the collection not on display. It is a very interesting museum...

Wonderful collection of photographs Peter. Linda loved them as well, thanks for sharing.

Dieter, I would be interested in reserving a calendar, subject to the price of course, which was not indicated. I suspect that waiting until offered for sale may be to late. Any idea where they will be offered for sale?

Rolf-Dieter ✝︎ · « **Reply #238 on:** October 12, 2018, 11:57:08 »

Hi Ralph,

I will check. With Boris Bracq and report back here.

Dieter

Pascal, Paul & Rick,

Were the small event flags included in the “goody bags” distributed to participants?? Nice souvenir! My bag did not include one. Are there any left over?

Garry · « **Reply #240 on:** October 14, 2018, 22:25:35 »

Ralph,

They were made by one of the participants that went across to the Bracq workshop. Think there were only two made. They were pretty cool though.

Garry

neelyrc · « **Reply #241 on:** October 15, 2018, 05:52:49 »

Thanks, Garry.

Paul & Dolly · « **Reply #242 on:** October 15, 2018, 08:55:05 »

They were really good,and had machined holders to fit in the roof clamp top sockets ( instead of the corks I use for my flags) and "marilyn" (Ray) and Sully had them, I am not sure which of the two made them though.

Cheers,

Great pictures Simon. Thanks for posting. It was a pleasure to meet you and Renata.

We also greatly enjoyed the caravan of five white Pagodas back to Italy on Sunday and the lunch in Arenzano.

Hope to see you again soon at another event.

Appreciate the drone shots - really shows off the chateau and cars in context nicely.

A short driving video of the Euro Event 2018. Link is to Google. Set full-screen. It's just under 3 minutes.

As two years ago - I partnered with Achim, so you might see a bit of him.
