Classic car race debut.

Today my wife and I started in our first classic car race. "Lillehammerløpet" It was a great experience and a lot of nice cars to study. Of 108 cars, the oldest a 1909 model, it was three 220s and one 220s cabriolet. And some 180 and 190's. The race was about 60 km and there were 4 posts with different topics to solve. My restorationfriend Egil and his wife were passengers. We were all dressed in clothes from the 50's. Really fun!!

The weather was ok from the morning, but unfortunately the rain came just after the start. I felt sorry for all the people in cabriolets.

Cars are waiting for the start.
Can we have a look at the inline six? Of course..

Many different cars in this race.

This is a 58' from my hometown.

The last post. As you can see the weather is not the best for classic car driving. We are now at a historic olympic area. This is were the cross country skiing found place at the olympic games in Lillehammer 1994.
The race is over. We had a fantastic day, and now we just have to wait for the results. I think (hope) we collected a lot of points..



It's amazing to see so many beautiful cars at once. I am willing to accept the fact that other brands than Mercedes Benz also have made nice cars......

I washed the car yesterday, and now it's time to do it again. But that's nice work!
