I know, I know, I'm running very late with this article...
I already gave you an article about this event in 2007... I went back there in 2008, so here goes nothing, a few pictures from the Monaco Top Marques Show! (thanks Piet for the VIP Pass!)
Not as many pictures this time since many cars present this time were already there last year...
This is quite a funny place actually, where the most classy things rest side to side with exceptionnal examples of bad taste. (see this stolen picture for example)...
Anyway, once again, here be some very desirable vehicles. I gotta admit I'd gladly make that white SLR Brabus blanche my daily driver...
Oh, and look, nothing happens by chance : a MotoArt, stand is here, I just told you about them a while ago : I manage to get their beautiful paper catalogue...
Short trip to New York... From September 20th to October 2nd, 12 days of pure happiness, lots of hiking, trying to avoid as much as possible the usual tourists' places...
Enjoy.
From September 19th to 22nd, took place the 17th Monaco Yacht Show... I had to be there for professional reasons, so that was a good occasion to get some pictures of the most extravagant stuff in the world in terms of snazzy luxury!
I'll spare you the golden washbasins, the diamonds-mounted taps, the jacuzzi covered with crocodile leather (all of this is true!)... But here are anyway a few pictures to be classified under "unreachable dreams". As well as the hostesses present on all the stands, indeed.
Unfortunately, I couldn't bring back pictures of the boats' interiors... For the good reason that to get onboard, you've got to "provide your details", i.e. have a 7 digits bank account balance...
And finally... Do all that really make me dream?...
OK, you're allowed to laugh at me if you want, but here is a news that sadden me...
The disappearance of Leone, a 2m60 female lemon shark, which was a regular visitor of shark feeding sessions in Moorea for the past 15 years.
It was a beautiful animal, very calm (well, kids, don't try this at home, Nico on the video know very well sharkies, for years...), with a very sharp smile , that I met several times... What a feeling the first time I met her, when it crushed a frozen tuna fish head just a few centimeters above my mask, with that loud sound I'll never forget...
Yep, I had some kind of tenderness for this beast. Bye bye Leone...
