Silver pagoda spotted in monte Carlo
« on: October 11, 2013, 14:24:23 »
 I haven't been on the forum for a while because my wife and I have been enjoying a month long trip to southern France including a 21 day Mediterranean cruise. Today, our port was Monte Carlo and as we were enjoying a slightly over priced cupachino at the Cafe de Paris next to the casino, what drives by but a very nice looking silver pagoda with black soft top. It looked very at home in those beautiful surroundings. Fly home tomorrow and are looking forward to some autum drives in ours,

Hi John - that might have been David Coulthard cruising by!

Monte Carlo is one of what I call the 'natural habitats' for the pagoda from back-in-the-day, which also includes Beverly Hills and Palm Beach.

Safe travels back.

 Back home from a great trip. A little jet lagged though:-) Seems like our Pagodas like to hang out in Monte Carlo. Here is a picture from a previous trip we took a few years ago. Do you recognise this one Cees?

Can't say that I do John. Obviously I need to visit Monte Carlo more!
