As I said it's time for photos from Tour Auto Optic 2000. About 300 classic cars were displayed in Grand Palais in Paris. I'm not sure if entry was free or if it cost €10. I paid €10 for program of tour which is in french so i don't understand anything but there is list of cars. All the cars were ogirinal (no replicas) and all cars were driving from Paris to Nice in South of France. It's took 5 or 6 days to get there. We tried to see start of this trip but it was at 6:30am. When we woke up at 6am there was still dark outside so there was no chance to take good pictures at this time but I'm happy with photos I have. Oldest car was Jaguar XK 120 Roadster from 1950. Organizers were driving by BMW M5 (F10) and BMW 1M. There was also Ferrari 458 Spider and 599 GTO which were driving as first cars. Except classic cars there was few new Ferrari's including FF, California and F12berlinetta. Unfortunately the last one was covered. We were waitng for uncovering for over 4 hours but we feel so hungry and went out. I have pictures of 99% of cars from list below so if you want to see picture of any car let me know. Cars displayed by BMW Art were not driving. Sorry for any mistake I made : )

P.S. Hermy #13 is some De Tomaso - i don't know the model and #14 is a Camaro SS if I know
Oral Surgeon I've no photos of girls they will stay in my mind : ) haha

I expect few more comments but it's fine. I understand that you can't say anything when you see that photos haha ; ) I keep going with my coverage. After few days spended in Paris we took a trip in 1st class by TGV to Monaco. We booked 1st class ticket because they were only €12 more expensive than 2nd class. It was 1st time for me to travel by fastest train in Europe. Train was leaving Paris at 7:45 and we nearly late. We get into the train at 7:38. I was suprised that train left station exactly at 7:45. It wasn't even one second late. Train hit over 300km/h and after 5,5h we were in Nice. Change a train to get into Monaco. When we found hotel which was located at the top of Monaco we left the luggage in the room and go to city to spot some cars. First supercar we saw was SLS (I won the bet as I said that it will be 1st car we will see, friend said it will be F430). Monaco welcome us with sun what was very nice after few rainy days in Paris. I will post some photos from inside the show first and tomorrow morning I will post photos of supercars spoted on the streets (it will be the biggest and I think the best update of this holidays). What about show: After 2011 edition of Top Marques I expect something more. There was a lot of nice cars but not that much as in 2011 and many cars were displayed in 2011 and 2012 what's not nice. There was not nice hostesses this year. There was only few of them but they were not my type ; ) The one in the photo with Mansory 458 Spider Monaco Edition is not my type by the way but she was stay there so I had no chance to take a pic of car without her (not this time). Maybe it's not a car on last photo but it's something that stops me for few more minutes. Look strange and nice. I enjoy that show and plan to go there again in 2013. And once again sorry for any mistakes I made - english is not my native language.

Damien360 I saw one of that Lancia in front of Casino in Monte Carlo and took photo of it as well : )

It's time for last update with over 100 photos. All photos were taken on Monaco streets. I don't know what can i say about this pictures. First are not perfect. There was few cars i didn't even expect to see. I'm talking about SLR Stirling Moss. It was the first time when i saw this car and i spend about 15minutes beside it. It's so beautiful. When I took few pictures i saw Lamborghini Aventador coming to the same hotel. Couldn't miss the chance to make combo : ) Last photo was taken from helicopter. It was 1st time for me to flight by helicopter and i'm sure it wasn't last. I like it so much. It's much better than plane. Next time i plan to try flying by baloon. Everytime some new experience : )

Ok Mods, Marcinek 55 should get his own thread for his pics alone and no one else is allowed to contaminate it with pics of some pos mazda or toyota..... What say you??

Chriscl1

Some very cool cars there. Is that the Stirling Moss merc?

Marcinek_55

Yes that a Stirling Moss merc but i don't know who is the owner. Got a photo with owner and it's definitelly not Sir Stirling Craufurd Moss. Car was on German plates and was driving around for 2 or 3 days. There is another one registered in Monaco but it wasn't on the streest this year. One more is located in Museum in Fontvielle the part of Monaco. Front of this car is perfect but rear might be nicer

Thanks for comments

Marcinek_55.......what can I say. Absolutely blown away at some most all of your pictures. I love it when I see you have posted in here and I can say no-one has been disappointed today!!

Fair play and thanks a million for taking the time to post them up. Plus I second you getting your own thread here

Thanks for posting Marcinek you saved me all the hassle. I was at the Top Marques last weekend also (where all these cars were on display) but I only had my Blackberry again so the photos are only fair. Did you see the Ariel Atom style car the police have here? I'll get a photo and stick it up next week. The navy and black Veyron is around quiet a bit actually.

I actually have two photos which I will post later. One is of an American guy picking colours for a Huayra, he was adamant that if he was to buy it they would need to change the tone of the leather. And the other is an Italian guy who I am pretty sure bought a Noble M600, his son was jumping around the place after he signed a whole heap of papers.

Fantastic photos of stunning cars!

Although the people who stick awful, awful bodykits on these stunning cars need a good SLAP!
