I want to know what ungodly hour you had to wake up in order to get a photo of a lone car (with maybe a peek of another car) driving around the Arc De Triomphe...

It’s the Messerschmitts you need to look out for.

Well I was out and about at 7am. But the good thing is that by sunrise I was up Montmartre! Worth it. Not to mention the 600 classic cars that came with me!

That’s kind of the spirit of the whole event, yes! 600 classics driving through Paris early morning. It was all glorious I have to say!

I drove around one of those traffic circles once at peak traffic and it was quite the adventure. Once is enough.

Yeah! And there even was this twin-engine Sahara one! I guess it could have been a replica, but even if it was, cool thing.

Very cool! Non-factory paintjob as all Saharas only came in gray AFAIK, but it looks really cool in that color scheme! :D

When I was there back in 2008 I managed to get a few shots with no traffic in the way - sometimes you get lucky and get a lull in traffic:
