Photo Gallery «Picture story Rétromobile and Techno Classica 2022 - The trade fair series after the Corona break»

This year, two of the biggest classic car fairs took place a week apart for the first time in March. Daniel Reinhard visited the Rétromobile in Paris and the Techno Classica and captured his impressions off the beaten track. His picture story takes a look at the amusing side notes of the two trade fairs.

Paris has by far the most beautiful tower in the world, ...

... but you can eat better in Essen, ...

... because French entrecôtes are often only suitable for designer shoe soles.

Most of the factory assignments did not materialize - both there and ...

... but there were still enough motifs left for pretty drawings.

Today, the whole world grumbles about a pretty woman in or on a car, ...

... but still enthusiastic about cursed war equipment.

This March will probably be the driest month since meteorological records began.

There is also a lot of Sahara dust.

We can only look forward to the next flood.

The ideal ergonomics on the car were rehearsed for a very long time, ...

... Even the pedals were not spared.

In Essen, the electric cars had to stay outside, ...

... while in Paris there was plenty of space available for alternative energy.

Completely uninteresting in Germany, ...

... historic cleaning carts are arousing great interest in France.

Soon a liter of gin will cost less ...

... than a liter of gasoline or diesel.

The enthusiasm for the automobile is ...

... and old are still great.

While some have been living and eating in complete isolation since corona, ...

... the others are enjoying the current opening.

Despite the absence of the manufacturers, there were also some magnificent ...

... like something simpler, ...

... somewhat peculiar ...

... or to discover somewhat questionable stands.

The French even offer demo rides, ...

... which regularly leads to total traffic chaos.

Who knows? But perhaps some of the contents of individual trunks exceed the total value of the vehicles.

Then, like in a lottery, you have ...

... Just a little more or less luck.

No, unfortunately these are not aid packages to Ukraine, ...

... but nevertheless some solidarity was shown, which was also very pleasing.

The dream of so many - to start a Grand Prix once in a lifetime! No problem at all, ...

... at least virtually.

For fear of damage to property, some cars were ...

... in the halls ...

... as well as hidden in the underground parking garage, ...

... or like this little dog ...

... chained to a long leash!

So, enough smiling, because we're back to our usual serious self!
