Re: 107 MPH Germany Autobon

Forget about Porsches, little old ladies in VWs blew by me at 110. Audi rules the Autobon. More of them then any other fast car. But the big boys do go fast , 120 to 140 mph. You get out of the way quickly. It can be very tiring with the top down. I was able to keep at a steady 80 to 95 for most of the day. Car ran like a clock and averaged about 14 mpg with a 3.70 rear.

The Berlin Wall

I had the opportunity to visit an area in Berlin that has the last remains of the Berlin Wall. The pictures show the Memorial Sites that depict the events of that time 1961 to 1989. Many Germans lost their lives in the attempt to flee East Germany at that time.

Corvette Gang of France

Here are some pictures of the Beach Fun Fest held by the Corvette Gang of France. I was the guest of honor at the event held in the south of France at Marseillan Plage, Marseillan France. More then 120 Corvettes were present for the 3 day event. Thousands of people viewed the cars every day.


Don't believe TV. The love of Americans and all things American by Europeans is almost overwhelming. They are more proud of our country, its people and its spirit then the news stations would lead you to believe.

A funny thing happen to me on theway to Bordeaux

I had left the activities in the south of France and was heading north towards Bordeaux , not knowing where I was to stay that night.


Tired , I stopped at a rest stop and had my head in my hands wondering where to go next, when someone tapped me on the back.


Startled, I turned around to find Alain and his lovely wife Christine standing behind me. I had met them a few days before and we talked about meeting again one day. Seeing the condition I was in they invited me to come home with them as they lived on the way to Bordeaux.


It was just fate that I should meet them and to my surprise , I learned that Alain was the owner of a French NASCAR team, with two cars, #17 & 18. NASCAR has been expanding its racing program in Europe and as luck would have it, I had a chance to interview Alain and to see his cars at NoGaro race track, 3rd largest track in France .


Here are some pictures of Alain at home and at the track. I have been invited by Alain to a NASCAR race at Le Mans in October and to watch his cars in the race. I spent two great days with Alain and his family .


Family including his mom in my car.










Alain's #18 NASCAR & Crew Alain also owns a 73 Corvette with a very American paint theme.

Re: Jean Luc left a message for me

Do you know what they did in the dark ages when they couldn't get into a caste???

[Jack P.]

Re: Jean Luc left a message for me

No, and I am afraid to ask. What did they do ? I may be in the Netherlands by Oct 8. Off to a Corvette rally in Brittany this weekend. On to Paris Sunday and Monday , then head north your way. Back to Le Mans for a race on the 12th and then on to Germany and Scandinavia. I hope we can meet before you leave for Asia
