There some real nice pictures here, since this is a big group with many owners I look forward to see plenty more.

Interesting that only GGR had one with soft top, does it mean we prefer open and hardtop ? Or is it to much work for us to take of the hardtop  ;D

We  had an artwork from Ian but he pulled it, I thought it looked pretty cool.

So far I have a few favorites , all the cars look great however some pictures are really great , like the one from james; Cirlcle and the first one from Craig.

now it is time to upload yours  :)

OK. So my favorite photo happens to be of my Pagoda in all its Pagoda roofed glory.  Here is my favorite pagoda shot with the top (or hood, in the U.K.) up and my favorite topless shot (with apologies to "she who must be obeyed!').

There is no photo of my Pagoda I dislike, frankly :)
But this one I like for what is actually not shown, but imagined behind....

Stan and Arhur, you are buddies huh; both of you in Warszawa must be fun to drive together there. I actually seen a video if I recall well on your way to Willingen. I assume that you were among those drivers?

I've been in Poland among so many countries I travel and remember Krakow as a very nice town; for those visiting Poland; don't skip it. It would be like passing through Belgium and not visiting Brugge and Brussels market place.

Thanks for posting new pictures; I got a new one, was inspired by CraigD's picture and I played with B/C etc... that is somewhat of a habit as I happen to be in intro oral X-ray business and enhancing or optimizing for better diagnostics is very common. Not sure you'll see more in my picture; on the contrary; you see less and that makes it somehow more interesting. Well that's my 2  cents  :)

It's an old one of mine, but an action shot which I rather like...

Speaking of action shoots Peter, this is the best one I ever had or does one call it Off-Roating  ;D

Pascal,

All your guesses are corect ;) We meet and drive often together (last time: yesterday evening ;D). Yes, we were in Willingen, and yes, our two Paggodas were pictured in the video (put together by Artur).

BTW, Cracow is probably the most visited cities in Poland, even tough I find that Wroclaw is as attactive, if not more.    


Nice picture of your car. I somewhat liked more the previous small registration plates. Alas, EU forced all members to go uniformely big size 

A+, une fois

Basil,

Lovely car! What is the exterior color, it is difficult to tell from the photo on my monitor. Black? Dark blue? Dark green?
