Per Nachtycoupe's suggestion a few thoughts from the Europe trip SFDon discouraged me to make in the summer.
1) Last E39 M5 trip was to baby sit in Yosemite, here we upped the ante and I came to help this little guy that flies Business while I fly economy.
2) Haarlem is beautiful, I heard their train station is the oldest somewhere (World, Europe, Holland, Haarlem?).
3) Visited the car for the first time. The nose was done to mimic the specific car that won Daytona, chassis 1911, that no longer exists.
4) Zagato Competiziones have flared holes to save weight. We copied an original Competizione hole by hole.
5) The exhaust is ready, custom design by the shop. Fulvias can get quite a few more horses with the right gas flow end to end.
6) Drinking time, non alcoholic but Italian like the car.
7) Haarlem canals. Locals complain of the housing costs, they moved from Amsterdam to Haarlem and now everybody wants the same...
8) Stern warning to Arde upon arrival in France. Word travels fast.
9) Hotel where Foucault's played with a pendulum.
10) My hotel view, Paris figured out such a great architecture that decrepit buildings look even nicer. Everywhere else decrepit is decrepit.
11) Ah, prime location next to Les Deux Magots and St Germain church, the Society to Encourage National Industry. In the US they would stigmatize it as protectionism and anti-trade, blah, blah. Our shit smells I guess.
12) Oscar Wilde would not have built a 1967 car in 2025 judging by this card.
13) Hmmm, in Uruguay I would buy the cow for that money.
14) At a weird Villa in Beaujolais, baby sitting is hard.
