The best weather is useless if it rains, as the saying goes. Fortunately, however, the St. Gallen classic car fair on October 29th was probably the only dry day of the past week. The small one-day fair was correspondingly well attended. We were also there and have recorded our impressions in this event report with lots of photos.
