Due to getting a broken replacement brake caliper to replace the one I broke myself on the MX-5 I decided to take part shotgunning almost single car in the meet, only missing W126 of matyas as he left earlier than I thought. Apart from that it was actually nice without a car once, as I could experience the 560SEC, 993TT and mikas' E46 330d and the Megane in addition to E30 and the 7 which I had experienced beforehand. Every one of them was great but very different, thanks for the rides!
Some pictures:
Helsinki-based members met at the Sportscar Breakfast Club, which gathered about 140 sportscar owners last time in the 2012 season. Yeah, it was awesome.
Our convoy met DaBoom and Jupix at a gas station. Tire marks were not ours.
I don't remember if Jupix has ever posted pictures of the W126's trip computer. Anyway, it was so awesome it that possible double posting only does justice. I was really impressed by the sheer W126s of it.
Nice place to have a cup of coffee.
Convoy of VW enthusiasts drove into the other direction
DaBoom and I took a shortcut with the 30 through a
special stage gravel road and photographed others passing by.
We spotted a local Mercedes owner
We met Pry in a harbor which was a great location for group shot...
...and enjoyed Finnish music provided by the boat in the background.

On a boat
Going through woods. Sorry for crappy mobile phone quality.
Cottage in the morning.
View from the terrace of the main building in the cottage area.
The main building itself was build using logs from the lake, some of them had been underwater for over 1500 years.
We ended up in a gravel road because of my inexperience of country roads on our way to the cottage. MXM seems to like it dirty.
...unlike BMW drivers!
Going through Savonlinna
Waiting for the boat to pick us up.
If you ever end up in a city called Varkaus (Theft in English, really) you know what to do there! Group Bingo in English. Perfect for elder people.
Great roads, epic sky.
Small stop at the Motopark raceway
We celebrated the end of the meet drinking Cockta together. DaBoom had had a bit too much Cockta and couldn't concentrate.
