Popular Post Arjan 363 Posted August 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2020 I really needed to get out and have a bit of a break. So took the OneTen out for a spin. Found a place for the lunch break.. Met with a group of German / Russian occupied LR's who saw me parked in the shades and asked if they could join me for lunch.. Of course they could and this "lunch meet" ran into the afternoon as we enjoyed the P&Q, talked about life in general and had a good time. Based in Germany, they usually go into RU to visit friends & family but not now. So they made do with a "round the Alps Tour" but found the driving not as much fun as they'd hoped. Always interesting to see how people from fifferent countries can unite when they have LR's in common. We eventually broke up - they are a good bunch and we had a lot of laughs - aswell as some serious talks- and I went up a bit for the night as I'd planned where to sleep. These clouds come from the Suza valley where it is hot and the air goes up and over the dam where the Cenis Reservoir water cools the hot air off and you end up in wet & cold clouds / fog very quickly. You literally see the clouds forming for your eyes while you sit there. Obviously, food was needed so the burner came out. I'd left most of the kitchen home as it was only 1 night away this time so please excuse the messy rear. Next morning it was time to go home again...🙄 All-in-all, some 1,100 kms. - or about 700 miles - in a day and a half without problems. Going into the Alps again in September for a Birthday Bash ($%^$@%^$#^@#^% Virus disclaimer applies...) and that could be very cold... P.S. For the very few that wonder (I doubt it though....) where the OneTen lift up roof is.... In the workshop, awaiting the Mrs. to find time to modify the fabric. Once that is done, it is roof swop day and getting the fabric in. Hope to show some pics late this year but work keeps getting in the way.. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ernestelliott 0 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Always a wonderful experience when you met different people and talk stuff in common. Such a short but lovely story. Worth to do when this lockdown ended. Happy driving! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
