The Swiss Thread

Daniel we will probably be there before 12.00 if we do not encounter cows on the Klausen
pass... Are you going to join us?

 

Thanks for sharing Marcel. Kind of like the 456 Convertible...

Gr. Martin

 

Shame Markus...hope we can do another time soon!

Daniel, let us know!

 

Markus, that is exactly what I meant! I have driven many great Swiss roads but never in an exotic car. One day ...

 

Maybe we can meet us in Mollis (or nearby) for a coffee break?

 

Not joining the trip? :-(

 

Depends on my mood , I will keep you informed.

 

We have postponed our trip to Sunday (17 july 2016), cause some cars were not able to join tomorrow....if someone is still interested in joining us....

Last minute reminder...we are driving tomorrow....join us if you want to go for a nice drive. We have Stefano from Ticino and others from north of the alps...Meeting point is at 10 at Burger King in Altdorf.

Saw your message only now Daniel...pity you did not join, was fantastic...you would have been the third Scud in the convoy...

 

No problem Stefano! I drove at 11:30 from Mollis towards Glarus, in Glarus I waited until 12.25, unfortunately I had no luck to meet you. I'm sure you had a beautiful trip, the weather was perfect!

I am researching the history of a former Ferrari garage/dealership in Geneva.

A friend of mine took this photo of VECTOR W8, chassis 001 on March 13, 1993 at a Geneva luxury car garage, 210 Route de Meyrin:

The garage was located just adjacent to the Southern end of the Geneva airport runway:

Does anyone know the name of this garage or any persons affiliated with this garage durgin the earyl 1990´s?
Up to 1992 it used to be a Ferrari garage and dealership.
In 1993 it appears to have already changed ownership.

 

Autodiffusion SA, official Ferrari dealer in Geneva at the time.
Later taken over by Marco Baciocchi (whose RR & Ferrari collection was seized and sold by creditors UBS and BCG) and then moved to IFS Importation Ferrari Suisse SA in Nyon, Switzerland. All long gone.

I may also join. 360 Spider in Zurich.

 

Good! just sent you PM

 

A nice rösti evening at a very spring-like Sustenpass last week-end, after the masses had deserted the place. You've got to get up really really very early to beat the traffic in the morning, but late summer evenings remain joyfully quiet.
