With the Bmw just back in the garage, with new fluids, new filters, new plugs etc. it was impossible to spend a lazy Sunday ( even if always a tempting possibility ). So wake up at dawn and 160 kms avoiding the highway, on almost empty roads up to Gressoney, under the Monte Rosa ( 4634 m ). Very nice ride. #gressoney #alps #bmwmotorrad #riding

ROLLS ROYCE CAMARGUE. In 1975, when it was launched, the Rolls Royce Camargue was the most expensive car in the world. That’s maybe why only 531 were produced in a 11 years long production run, until 1986. Around four every month. The design was outsourced – not a common thing at Rolls Royce – and Pininfarina was the chosen one. Paolo Martin – that I met a few years ago – was the designer at Pininfarina who penned the typical and controversial squared Camargue shape, putting ’70s Italian innovative taste inside an old world British icon. I love this car. #rollsroyce #rollsroycecamargue
Just back from annual check-up: 115.000 kms, 20 years old, and still looks and runs as new. My mechanic told me that because of me changing always gears at low revs the inside of the exhaust is full of dirty dust. Told me to give it a good run, changing gears at high revs, pushing me to ride it as an hooligan. Poor ol’ lady. #lowrevs #bmwr850r #bmwmotorrad #boxerforever #plainold

JIMMY LOVES JAGS. Jimmy Smith aka “The Incredible Jimmy Smith” was one of the best and most influential organ players of the classic ’60s and ’70s era. He was able, with his eclectic style, to play jazz, blues and soul music. Soul-funk and then acid-jazz trends owe a lot to his organ riffs, arrangements and innovative sounds. He was the master of the Hammond B3 electric organ. He kept on playing and jamming with several talented musicians well into the new century, till the year of his departure, 2005. The covers of his Blue Note records (but not just) are often masterpieces in themselves. Here we show a small selection, focused on cars with that feline on the bonnet. Evidently the Incredible Jimmy fancied the Incredible Coventry cars of that era. #jimmysmith #theincrediblejimmysmith #organ #hammond #hammondb3 #recordcovers #bluenote #jaguar #jaguaretype
