BELGIUM -

If you are in Liège (Belgium), run to the best italian in town and around town. He is not fare away from town's central place St. Lambert, not more than half a mile. Trattoria da Pino - once and unique.

A few years ago we discovered outside town a restaurant called Ciociara. Forget them. Forget unfriendly and unflexibel italians ("Sorry, we have not 2 places available"). Arrivederci Ciociara, oh no, Addio. For ever, per sempre. Fatevi i C vostri.

France -

In French capital I had different meeting, among them an important one with our biggest customer in the Grande Nation. It was a good talk because basically he like to continue in 2008 the job we made for him in 2007. Despite of the job, I discovered two nice places to eat. L'atélier Renault is placed at Champs Elysées, before Arc de Triomphe left hand. Good food, the sirloin à point really à point and a nice service by sympatiques parisiennes. Allover around in the restaurant you have plasma screens to watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix. Anothe nice place is Le Paprika, close to Moulin Rouge in the 9th arondissement.

September 2006 - Jo Siffert Memorial in Sion. Really nice show even with three cars only at the Migros Metropole in Sion. The former champion from Fribourg had friends allover in Switzerland and the Canton du Valaisl, where Sion is the capital, is always hot about cars and speed.

September 2006 - Begin of September I was visiting the Louis Chevrolet Memorial, which is a traditional Meeting with many old cars yearly at the first weekend of September in La Chaux-de-Fonds in the Swiss Jura Neuchâtelois. Ahead and behind the thinks for my visit in "La Chaux" is the idea of a Road Show thru the country under the Title "Louis Chevrolet Pionnier automobile Suisse", because he was born as a Swiss and went to the US in a very young age to discover the new continent and to start a brillant career as car manifacturer. Since then, more than 10 Millions of Chevrolets were built. Nodoby - or only a few people - know in Switzerland that Louis Chevrolet was "un garçon d'ici", a Swiss boy. Reason enought to do something in memoriam.

August 2006 - Driving to the world record. I am on my way. I already started a travel thru Switzerland with Renault Cars and the goal to drive thru all the 140 Swiss mountain passes. Gottardo, San Bernardino, Buchenegg, Albis and so on. First I will reach a mention in the Guinness Book of Records. Second, I will publish in coming spring a book. I already signed the contract with Reihardt Verlag in Basel. I tell you. It runs. More details about the project under www.schweizer-Pass.com.

July 2006 - Greetings from German Hockenheim, my friends. During the Formula 1 Grand Prix, we had by Interrace a lot of jobs, like a car show along the Fan-Meile, a pit-stop competition, the Légende Jo Siffert show in the Museum and also a Press Meeting with F1-Driver Jarno Trulli and his wines. So, in between, there I have started also the last of my different business activities. The Pizza Corner may be small, but wirft a lot of money ab... you understand me, ehm - Ops, how could I say now oder?

July 2006 - I was visiting the Montreux Grand Prix middle of July, a beautyfull oldtimer race thru the streets of Montreux. like the Montecarlo along the Lake of Geneva, sorry Les Vaudois, Lac Léman of course. During that weekend we had two animations with Pit Stop by Migros Aigle and Migros Forum Montreux. Very successfull, both of them! If you like to see pics about the Montreux GP, look under www.montreuxgrandprix.ch.

Motor Show "Legend Jo Siffert" - I am proud to introduce you this particular Motorshow in Memoriam Jo Siffert, the Swiss Formula 1 driver who died in 1971.

As first, the show will take place from May 17th to 31st th "Fribourg Centre" down town Fribourg, opposite to the central station. We have there 4 Siffert's older cars, a Stanguellini 1961, BMW F2 1968 and 1970 and Chevron F2 1971. We are very confident that a lot of people will visit this shows. Few of them will take place this year in Switzerland, the next one middle of July by Rail City in Zurich, the Main train station. 18.05.06.
