Yesterday, many of the cars arrived and were then pushed to their designated place in this area, to the right of the port. It's a delight for enthusiasts - every car has its own parking bay and display sign as you see in the smaller photograph.
It's easy to know who has just arrived in Monte Carlo - look at the white legs!
For a moment I thought that was Bernie Ecclestone walking towards us but it's not.

It must be an exciting time in Monte Carlo with the Grand Prix Historique going on.
ReplyDeleteGreat legs! Great shot for the Histroique!

ReplyDeleteWhat a thrill it must be to see these historic cars! "Louis" would enjoy this very much!
