HET EVENEMENTHET EVENEMENTHET EVENEMENTHET EVENEMENT Previous Next Home HET EVENEMENT Het evenement Het Concours dâElegance is een evenement waar vele prachtige oldtimers, moderne en toekomstige autoâs tentoongesteld worden en er een spannende Pre-War Sprint wordt gereden, maar het evenement op Paleis Soestdijk is meer dan alleen automobilia. Zo is er een Modeshow waar de nieuwste kledingstukken worden getoond, een Royal Fair waar er kunst, kleding of andere mooie producten gekocht kunnen worden, een boekenmarkt om in te snuffelen en een Trapauto Race voor de kinderen. HET CONCOURS Een concours is een wedstrijd binnen een bepaald vakgebied waarin deelnemers strijden om te laten zien dat ze het beste zijn in hun discipline. Het fenomeen Concours dâElegance is van alle tijden, al zo lang de automobiel bestaat. Wat de besteâ auto is, is niet alleen een kwestie van smaak. Uiteraard is er een reglement met de basisvoorwaarden waaraan deelnemende autoâs moeten voldoen. Bovendien zijn er een aantal vaste onderdelen waarop de autoâs gejureerd worden, waaronder authenticiteit, zeldzaamheid, het belang van het model, maar ook de technische staat. En natuurlijk wordt er gekeken naar dat ene punt dat al in de naam verweven zit de elegantie. PRE-WAR SPRINT In samenwerking met de Dutch Vintage Sportscar Club DVSCC organiseren wij de Pre-War Sprint. Wij kunnen met zekerheid zeggen dat dit het spectaculairste onderdeel van het Concours dâElegance is. Het gaat hier niet alleen om snelheid, maar ook om behendigheid, goede timing en het juist nemen van de hindernissen. Deelname aan de Pre-War Sprint staat open voor leden van de DVSCC met vooroorlogse automobielen voor 1940, voorzien van een geldige APK. Een lidmaatschap is zo geregeld en staat boven alles. Lees meer informatie over de DVSCC ROYAL FAIR & MODESHOW Het Concours dâElegance biedt een podium voor non-automotive bedrijven met een collectie die aansluit op onze themaâs en stijl. We zorgen voor een gevarieerd aanbod van diverse standhouders. Tevens is er jaarlijks een modeshow gaande waar fantastische nieuwe mode-items worden getoond in de tuin rondom het Paleis. BOEKENMARKT Al vele jaren is de boekenmarkt een vast onderdeel van het Concours dâElegance. Er is niks lekkerder dan snuffelen door rijen autoboeken op zoek naar dat ene boek of dat onverwachte exemplaar dat mist in de collectie. Automobilia en autominiaturen zijn ruim aanwezig. TRAPAUTO RACE Wie droomt er nou niet van de nieuwe Max Verstappen te worden? De eerste stappen in die richting kunnen worden gezet tijdens het Concours dâElegance Paleis Soestdijk! De Trapauto Race is een hele leuke ervaring voor kinderen tijdens het Concours dâElegance. De kinderen kunnen in de Trapautoâs flink rondtrappen op hetzelfde parcours waar zojuist de Sprint heeft plaatsgevonden en de autoâs hebben geknald. Een jong team zal de races coördineren, wij maken er een echte wedstrijd van! De Trapauto Race is geschikt voor kinderen tussen de 4 en 8 jaar. BELEVING Naast alle bijzondere autoâs, is er een hoop te zien en te doen in de Paleistuinen met haar historische gebouwen en unieke tuinarchitectuur. Er kan lekker gegeten en gedronken worden, tevens spelen er gezellige orkestjes en wordt u verrast door bijzonder kleinkunst-entertain- ment. Bovendien werken er een aantal kunstenaars aan automotive kunst en vergeet u ook niet te genieten van Amphicar welke vaart door de koninklijke vijver? FOOD & DRINKS Ook dit jaar zijn er verschillende plekken in de tuin van Paleis Soestdijk waar foodcourts en gezellige terras- sen worden opgezet. De organisatie zorgt ervoor dat er een grote verscheidenheid aan aanbod wordt gepresenteerd, waarbij men bijvoorbeeld kan genieten van een heerlijke salade of burger op een terras of een ijsje uit de hand. In 2022 vieren wij het verleden, heden en de toekomst van de automobiel, want in de ontwikkeling daarvan blijft niets hetzelfde. De techniek benadert langzaam maar zeker hedendaagse perfectie; comfort in een auto is vergelijkbaar met de comfort thuis. Maar bovenal verandert het design, het gezicht van de auto. Verleden Het Concours is uiteraard hĂ©t middelpunt van het Concours dâElegance Paleis Soestdijk. Ongeveer 70 oldtimers uit binnen- en buitenland strijden om de prestigieuze Best of Show-award. Daarom telt het Concours dâElĂ©gance Paleis Soestdijk op 27 en 28 augustus 2022 tien klassen, die inhoudelijk zijn bepaald door leeftijd, cultuur en ontwerp â van het glimmende koper uit de pioniersjaren van de automobiel tot iconische supersportwagens uit het recente verleden. Heden De automobielontwikkeling ontwikkelt zich razendsnel. Elektrische aandrijving is al vanzelfsprekend; nog even en waterstof kan binnenkort op de hoek van de straat getankt worden. Een Concours dâElĂ©gance draaide lang geleden om presentaties van de moderne autoâ en de laatste mode. Elk merk, iedere designer en couturier showde zijn of haar nieuwste creatie aan een welgesteld hooggeĂ«erd publiek. De laatste decennia hebben de retro look en de hang naar vroegere iconen het autodesign flink beĂŻnvloed. De hedendaagse automobiel mag daarom niet ontbreken op het Concours dâElĂ©gance Paleis Soestdijk. Een veelzijdig modern aanbod, naast beroemde klassiekers, is sfeerbepalend en geeft duidelijkheid en richting aan de verwachtingen van de kopers. Tijdens het weekend bespreken onze presentatoren liveâ de laatste modellen en het publiek kiest de meest begeerlijke en elegante hedendaagse auto! Toekomst Wellicht het allerbelangrijkste om te weten tijdens het Conours dâElegance; welke prototype wint de Best of Show in 2022? Wat kunnen wij verwachten in de toekomst en wat wordt belangijk in de autoindustrie? Dus, Hoe ziet de auto van de toekomst eruit? Winnen comfort, design en duurzaamheid het van heerlijk in glanzend chroom verpakt nostalgisch motorgeronk? Wordt de auto het verlengstuk van onze mobiele telefoon of wordt onze vrijheid vertaald naar treintje rijdenâŠ? De toekomst zal het ons leren. De trend is gezet, met een combinatie van strak design, een zoektocht naar het nieuwe gezicht van de auto en de opkomst van de stilistisch bepaalde horizontale verlichting. Tijdens het Concours dâElĂ©gance Paleis Soestdijk presenteert de auto-industrie zijn toekomst. Bij iedere editie van het Concours dâElegance beoordeelt een internationale jury de deelnemende oldtimers. Er zijn meerdere prijzen, maar de belangrijkste is natuurlijk de Best of Show. In de voorgaande edities wonnen de onderstaande deelnemers deze prestigieuze prijs. Vanaf 2022 wordt er ook een Best of Show uitgegeven aan de hedendaagse en aan de toekomstige auto. Welke autoâs hebben uw voorkeur? U kunt hier alvast over meedenken, aangezien u ook de kans krijgt om hierover te stemmen. BEKIJK HIER ALLE âBEST OF SHOWâ Ondanks dat het fenomeen Concours dâElegance al jaren bestaat, is de aard van de show is in de loop der jaren veranderd. Een terugblik Na 1900 â de pionierstatus van de in 1886 door Gottlieb Daimler en Carl Benz uitgevonden automobiel was inmiddels historie â veroverde de nieuwe vinding zijn plaats in kringen van de aristocratie, industriĂ«len en notabelen. Om hun maatschappelijke status en goede smaak uit te drukken, lieten ze zich het liefst individueel ontworpen koetswerk aanmeten, op steeds grotere en snellere chassis. Het ambacht van rijtuigbouwer bleef vooralsnog hetzelfde â hout, zeildoek en leder waren de traditioneel gebruikte materialen â maar de toepassing van een statig of juist sportief carrosserietype veranderde wel. Want voor het koetswerk liepen geen paarden maar bromden zware motoren waarachter de chauffeur plaats nam. De smaak van de clientĂšle veranderde mee met de ontwikkelingen in kunst en mode. Dat moest getoond worden, en daarin vindt een concours dâĂ©lĂ©gance zijn oorsprong die teruggaat tot het Frankrijk van de laat achttiende eeuw. In een passende ambiance paradeerden eigenaars van luxe rijtuigen toen al door de straten van Parijs voor een groot publiek. Met de komst van de automobiel deden fabrikanten en koetswerkbouwers hetzelfde met hun nieuwste modellen, vergezeld van mannequins in de nieuwste haute couture. Parijs was het chique middelpunt van de vroege auto-industrie en mode. Dus vonden in het Bois de Boulogne, bij de paardenrenbaan van Longchamps, de eerste grote concours dâĂ©lĂ©gances plaats maar ook aan de Franse RiviĂšra, of in Biarritz en San Rafael. Weldra verspreidde het fenomeen zich naar andere landen â ItaliĂ« in het bijzonder en vooral toen de carrosseriebouw nieuwe wegen insloeg. Men stapte af van het concept van het rijtuig zonder paard naar echte automobielen. Met de hand en hamer in ronde vormen geklopt aluminium verving het starre hout wat meer sculpturale vrijheden voor de ontwerpers bood. Autodesign was geboren. Zo won het concours dâĂ©lĂ©gance eind jaren twintig en dertig aan belangrijkheid, met soms primeurs die op de gewone autotentoonstellingen ontbraken. Parijs, San Remo, Villa dâEste bij het Como meer waren de favoriete locaties. Ook in Scheveningen, op het jaarlijkse concours van koetswerken van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Automobiel Club, flaneerden mannequins rond automodellen waarvan soms maar een enkel exemplaar was gebouwd. Want de crĂšme de la crĂšme onder het autokopend publiek zocht in alle maatschappelijke uitingen exclusiviteit â niet in de laatste plaats door de keus van hun automobiel. Sommige fabrikanten vernoemden exclusieve modellen zelfs naar het concours waar ze debuteerden. Dat alles in een tijd waarin Franse en Italiaanse carrosseriebouwers met elkaar wedijverden om de mooiste artistieke prestaties. De periode na de tweede wereldoorlog bracht aanvankelijk grote soberheid in de samenleving. Massamotorisering ontnam de autowereld bovendien zijn romantiek. Het concours dâĂ©lĂ©gance raakte in de vergetelheid. Om in de jaren tachtig en daarna weer op te leven, zij het nu als podium voor klassieke autocreaties van weleer. Het begon in de jaren vijftig in CaliforniĂ«, op de chique golfclub van Pebble Beach, bij Monterey. Daar poetsen deelnemers aan locale autoraces na afloop hun autoâs nog eens extra op om ermee voor het publiek te pronken. Tegenwoordig is Pebble Beach het mondiale platform voor de mooiste klassieke autoâs die dienovereenkomstig worden beoordeeld door een vakjury. Pebble Beach vormde uiteindelijk ook de bron van inspiratie voor de verschillende internationale concours dâĂ©lĂ©gances die eind vorige eeuw ontstonden of nieuw leven zijn ingeblazen, zoals Villa dâEste. En dan natuurlijk het Concours dâElegance, wat begon in Apeldoorn. Na 14 edities besloot de organisatie dat het tijd was voor een nieuwe locatie Paleis Soestdijk. Het concours staat hoog op de agenda van de internationale gemeenschap van autokenners en âliefhebbers. Begrijpelijk, want alleen al het aantal best-of-show winnaars â Lancia, Pegaso, Fiat, Ferrari, Hispano-Suizaâs en andere topmerken uit het rijke autoverleden hebben het Concours dâElegance gemaakt tot wat het nu is Nederlands grootste en meest prestigieuze catwalk voor de automobiel. Laat u fotograferen in uw period dress en maak kans op een leuke prijs! Bezoekers worden aangemoedigd om zich tijdens hun bezoek aan het Concours dâElegance Paleis Soestdijk te kleden in authentieke historische stijl, om zich zo terug te wanen in de jaren â60. Een goede hoed en een jasje voor de heren wordt op prijs gesteld, evenals een mooie jurk voor de dames. Voor inspiratie kunt u een kijkje nemen op de website van The English Hatter. *Period dress is niet verplicht, maar wordt wel gewaardeerd door de organisatie van het Concours dâElegance. Het is mogelijk om in het weekend tijdens het Concours dâElegance een kamer te boeken bij een van de hotels in de buurt van Paleis Soestdijk.

Comme chaque annĂ©e, le Concours dâElegance de la Villa dâEste prendra une nouvelle fois place sur les rives du lac de CĂŽme en Italie, du 26 au 28 mai 2017.Pirelli Ă©quipe les voitures de collection de pneus marquĂ©s pour la villa dâEste... En 1929, il y a 90 ans, sâest dĂ©roulĂ©e la toute premiĂšre Ă©dition du cĂ©lĂšbre Concours dâĂlĂ©gance de la Villa dâEste, remportĂ©e par une Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A Ă©quipĂ©e de pneus Pirelli Cord Superflex. En 2019, Pirelli revient sur les rives du lac de CĂŽme en tant que partenaire officiel de lâun des Ă©vĂ©nements automobiles les plus prestigieux dâEurope, en Ă©quipant les plus belles voitures prĂ©sentes. Au cĆur du somptueux parc des expositions de la Villa, Pirelli dĂ©voile quelques-uns des vĂ©hicules qui ont Ă©crit lâhistoire automobile ainsi que sa gamme de pneus Collezione destinĂ©e aux voitures de collection. Les dĂ©cennies traversĂ©es par lâexposition Ă la villa dâEste ont Ă©tĂ© marquĂ©es par de nombreuses Ă©volutions, mais la passion pour les voitures, lâĂ©lĂ©gance et lâesprit de compĂ©tition restent intacts. Outre ces valeurs traditionnelles, un intĂ©rĂȘt nouveau se manifeste pour la prĂ©servation et le respect de lâhĂ©ritage automobile. Cet intĂ©rĂȘt est partagĂ© Ă plusieurs niveaux par Pirelli. La Fondation Pirelli est lâune des ressources impliquĂ©es. Elle archive tous les documents historiques, les caractĂ©ristiques techniques et conserve des objets anciens, tĂ©moins dâun siĂšcle et demi dâhistoire. Mais lâexpression la plus Ă©clatante en est lâincroyable gamme Pirelli Collezione prĂ©sentĂ©e au concours de la Villa dâEste des pneus qui allient la technologie moderne Ă lâaspect dâĂ©poque, offrant aux propriĂ©taires une utilisation optimale de leurs voitures de collection. La gamme Pirelli Collezione a Ă©quipĂ© de maniĂšre ininterrompue les voitures de 1930 jusquâaux voitures modernes classiques des annĂ©es 2000. La gamme Pirelli Collezione, lâhistoire Ă©crite sur la route La famille Pirelli Collezione est nĂ©e du dĂ©sir de maintenir les voitures de collection sur la route en crĂ©ant des pneus Ă double vocation. Ceux-ci conservent un aspect et une dynamique de conduite dâorigine tout en offrant un rendement et une sĂ©curitĂ© supĂ©rieurs Ă ceux des pneus dâĂ©poque, grĂące Ă la technologie et aux procĂ©dĂ©s de fabrication modernes. Cette gamme sâouvre sur le pneu lĂ©gendaire Stella Bianca lancĂ© en 1927, puis se poursuit par le pneu Stelvio produit Ă nouveau en 2018 pour Ă©quiper en exclusivitĂ© la Ferrari 250 GTO, la voiture la plus chĂšre au monde. Les autres pneus de la gamme Collezione comptent les CA67 1955, CN72 1964, CN36 1968, CN12 1968, Cinturato P7 1974, P5 1977, P Zero 1984 et P700-Z 1988. Durant lâintĂ©gralitĂ© de la phase de dĂ©veloppement de ces pneus rĂ©inventĂ©s, les ingĂ©nieurs de Pirelli ont utilisĂ© les mĂȘmes paramĂštres de vĂ©hicules que les concepteurs dâorigine. Ceci a permis de crĂ©er des pneus dotĂ©s dâun comportement optimal associĂ© Ă la mĂ©canique et aux rĂ©glages des suspensions dâorigine, tout en intĂ©grant la plupart des derniers dĂ©veloppements de la technologie pneumatique. Le rĂ©sultat est une alliance entre performances, style et authenticitĂ©. Les images fournies par la Fondation Pirelli ont jouĂ© un rĂŽle essentiel dans la crĂ©ation de ces pneus. Les techniques mises en Ćuvre pour leur fabrication sont similaires Ă celles utilisĂ©es pour produire les pneus rĂ©servĂ©s au sport automobile, dans une usine spĂ©cialisĂ©e Ă Izmit, en Turquie. Les amateurs peuvent se procurer ces pneus auprĂšs de distributeurs spĂ©cialisĂ©s dans le monde entier, ainsi que dans les magasins phares P Zero World de Pirelli Ă Los Angeles, Munich, Monaco, DubaĂŻ et bientĂŽt Ă Melbourne. Des pneus marquĂ©s dans la gamme Collezione La prĂ©sence de Pirelli au Concours dâĂlĂ©gance de la Villa dâEste traduit Ă©galement la relation Ă©troite entre la firme italienne et les constructeurs automobiles au fil des ans, illustrĂ©e aujourdâhui par la stratĂ©gie Perfect Fit ». Un programme de dĂ©veloppement commun entre les ingĂ©nieurs spĂ©cialisĂ©s dans les vĂ©hicules et les pneus a permis de mettre au point la meilleure combinaison possible, alliance parfaite entre les caractĂ©ristiques de la voiture et une sĂ©curitĂ© optimisĂ©e. Câest ainsi que sont nĂ©s les pneus aux marquages spĂ©cifiques, illustrĂ©s de symboles caractĂ©ristiques des diffĂ©rents constructeurs auxquels ils sont destinĂ©s. Ce savoir-faire, longtemps associĂ© aux voitures modernes, sâapplique dĂ©sormais Ă©galement aux voitures de collection, Ă la demande des constructeurs qui souhaitaient Ă©quiper leurs modĂšles classiques majeurs des pneus de la gamme Pirelli Collezione. Audi avec un P700-Z sur mesure pour la Sport Quattro, Jaguar avec un P Zero spĂ©cifique pour la XJ220, Lamborghini qui a demandĂ© un CN12 pour la Miura et Ferrari qui a redonnĂ© vie au Stelvio rĂ©servĂ© Ă la 250 GTO en sont la parfaite illustration. La toute derniĂšre initiative de cette stratĂ©gie, le pneu P-700 Z 16 pouces pour la BMW Z1, Ă©tait Ă©galement prĂ©sentĂ©e Ă la Villa dâEste. La gamme Pirelli Collezione compte actuellement 34 tailles, dont quatre seulement sont des pneus non marquĂ©s et huit nouvelles tailles sont en cours dâĂ©laboration. Le Pirelli Superflex Cord Ă©quipe lâIsotta Fraschini La voiture mesurait prĂ©cisĂ©ment cinq mĂštres de long et son capot allongĂ© abritait le premier moteur huit cylindres en ligne de lâhistoire, faisant dâelle la voiture la plus puissante de lâĂ©poque sur route. Câest toutefois lâĂ©lĂ©gance incomparable de lâIsotta Fraschini Tipo 8A qui en a fait le choix privilĂ©giĂ© de la haute sociĂ©tĂ© amĂ©ricaine. En rĂ©alitĂ©, ses caractĂ©ristiques techniques et son prix exorbitant sont bien plus adaptĂ©s au marchĂ© amĂ©ricain quâau marchĂ© europĂ©en et on peut la voir dans une poignĂ©e de films hollywoodiens comme Sunset Boulevard » 1950, qui a remportĂ© trois Oscars. LâIsotta Fraschini Tipo 8A a reçu elle-mĂȘme un prix lors du tout premier Concours dâĂlĂ©gance de la Villa dâEste en 1929. La voiture Ă©tait alors Ă©quipĂ©e du fleuron des pneus de lâindustrie automobile de lâĂ©poque, le Pirelli Superflex Cord, surnommĂ© le pneu de la victoire ». Ces pneus Ă©quipaient Ă©galement lâAlfa Romeo P2, qui a remportĂ© le tout premier grand prix, avant la crĂ©ation du Championnat du monde actuel de la Formule 1, Ă Monza en 1925. ĂlĂ©gance et performances deux caractĂ©ristiques inaltĂ©rables dans lâensemble de la gamme de pneus Pirelli.

It is the largest annual classic sportscar event in Finland, and the event is organized by Mr. Antti Wihanto. This year was the 20th event. However next year the event will celebrate the 20th Anniversary more officially â âbigger and betterâ hopefully with more guests from other countries as well. The main event was on a Sunday 19th June, but my trip to Turku with the F355 started already on Saturday morning when I joined a driving event from Helsinki to Turku. In the convoy there were cars like Lotus Esprit Turbo, McLaren 12C, Alfa Romeo 8C, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 550 Maranello, several Porsches, and more. The route was great, mostly great country roads and only a short drive on the highway, and the rain did not stop us from enjoying our cars. Upon arrival in Turku I first drove the Ferrari F355 with the Lotus Esprit to Pro Detailing Turku to get the cars washed for the next day. Both cars are for sale by Harri Asunta, you can read more about my weekend drive with the F355 in the post âFerrari F355 Berlinetta â my best weekend date everâ. Then I got the news that I would sit in the jury with twelve other people, choosing the class winners of this yearâs Concours dâElegance. We had a really nice mix of judges. There were a few classic car specialists who really knew what they were talking about. When they can look at a repainted body and immediately tell the shade is not exactly the same colour that the factory offered at that time, you know they are true enthusiasts. For that reason I stayed close, and listened, and learned. I have not been that involved in the classic car world that I would recognize every model that was there. But this is something I wish to change in future, because I really like old cars. The classes were âBest Coupeâ and âBest Openâ, with 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes in each. One of the winners of the two classes would also be awarded âBest in Showâ. Concours dâElegance Harjattula 2016 â Best Coupe As much as I personally worship the Lamborghini Miura, for me it was a clear choice which car I wanted to win âBest Coupeâ at this event. The âScuderia Askolinâ Ferrari 250 GT LWB Berlinetta Scaglietti Tour de France is the first ever car from Finland to be accepted to Concours dâElegance Villa dâEste in 2015. The car is owned by Ilkka Brotherus. It is a car with a great history read more here. A Villa dâEste car in Finland can not be anything else than a Best in Show car at the Finnish Concours dâElegance. Superb car! The second prize in the coupe class of course went to the Lamborghini Miura owned by Johan Helenius at Competition Motors in Sweden. Unfortunately not a Finnish car â as far as I know there are no Miuras registered in Finland. I think the owners deserve a big applause for bringing the car with a ferry to Finland only for this event. Because one of the themes of this year was Lamborghini Miura 50 yearsâ it was nice to see a Miura at the event, and this car was in stunning condition. It has a long history with its current owners and to hear it still is one of their favourite cars to drive is fantastic. Third prize went to a Volvo P1800, manufactured in United Kingdom â not Sweden! Concours dâElegance Harjattula 2016 â Best Open In the âBest Openâ class the first prize went to a Stoewer LT 4 Torpedo. It is a rare car to find in this condition apparently only three of these exist in the world, and one is in Finland, and for that reason the jury thought it deserves to win that class. Some people might not consider it a âtypical sports carâ, but it was one of the more âsportier modelsâ when it was first launched â more than 100 years ago!! I had of course never heard of it before, but you learn something new about automotive history at these events. Second prize was awarded to a beautiful orange Fiat 124 Spider. The second theme of this yearâs Concours dâElegance was Fiat 124 Spider 50 yearsâ. Unfortunately I saw only one Fiat 124 Spider at the event, but luckily that car was a very beautiful one. I especially love the colour! And the car that won third prize was a beautiful Jaguar E-Type Roadster. Concours dâElegance Harjattula 2016 â Best Alfa The third theme of this year was âClassic Alfa spidersâ Duettoâ 50 yearsâ, but unfortunately we could not find any Alfa Spiders when we walked around judging the cars. So instead the Alfa prize was awarded to another very special car â the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. Only 500 8C Competizione and 500 8C Spider cars were delivered to customers, so it is a rare car to see anywhere, but to spot one this north in Europe is of course even more special. Sounds good, too! Concours dâElegance Harjattula 2016 â Best in Show Best in Show was the gorgeous Ferrari â congratulations to the owners not only for this award, but also for the huge success at Villa dâEste! You would not imagine cars like this exist in Finland, but the truth is the more I hear what people have in their garages, the more surprised I am⊠Some true gems exist in this country, and this is one of the greatest.
