Not quite, sadly. When the drops become bigger and faster, I still need a roof to be able to keep glasses clean. Really need that half-roof for next tour!
 
A few pics from my camera.





Sitting pretty much at the water level


A few pics that DaBoom snapped with my camera while Lastsoul was the passenger in my car






And a few that Lastsoul made from the passenger seat














Standing around, doing fuck-all




Le bridge


Driving on said bridge


Driving behind the Turbo


Is that what the sunroof is for? ;)




The cabin




Quite a view right from the yard


The offroad 7
 
Thats what we did on the roadtrip when we were not driving :D. And in the mornings, when we were supposed to get up earlier.. :p
 
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.

medium

Our convoy met DaBoom and Jupix at a gas station. Tire marks were not ours.

medium

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.

medium

Nice place to have a cup of coffee.

Convoy of VW enthusiasts drove into the other direction

medium

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.

Going through woods. Sorry for crappy mobile phone quality.

Cottage in the morning.

medium

View from the terrace of the main building in the cottage area.

medium

The main building itself was build using logs from the lake, some of them had been underwater for over 1500 years.

medium

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.

medium

...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.

medium

Great roads, epic sky.

medium

Small stop at the Motopark raceway

medium

We celebrated the end of the meet drinking Cockta together. DaBoom had had a bit too much Cockta and couldn't concentrate.

Needless to say, that's where I bought my car...(the town, not the bingo hall :lol: )
