Below are the picture evidence of the Europporally points that we hit. DutchieDC2R and I had a great time to race between all these points, and tried our best to hit as many places as possible, while completing a lot of side missions. (A hike of 30-45 minutes to get to 3 castles exhausted us quite a bit though, meaning we decided to cut the day short at the end) In case a picture needs explanation there’ll be a line beneath the pics. L et’s see what our score is!

(Ps: this post was delayed by a few days, due to horrible internet access in the Airbnb locations we rented. All pictures were shot on Tuesday)

Cars as a French flag, all three french

More than 8 cylinders (V10) and most expensive when also counting the Maserati

Peugeot J7 that just finished unloading bread

Renault Estafette

Highest point, as well as a col sign

Find your car’s twin! We even stopped traffic to take this pic (find the 3rd Twingo)

Maison du Fromage

Mercedes AMG GTS, possibly the most expensive

Fountain Eguisheim

Rue des Écoles and Quai de la Poissonnerie

L’Amandine

The cathedral accross from l’Amandine

One of the 3 castles we hiked to

Taken from Chateau Saint-Ulrich, with Chateau du Giersberg in the background

Another expensive car!

A Renault Goelette, Also the oldest car seen

Car in the entry of a Vinyard

A Dyane Van! (aka the Acadiane)

Féerie de Noël,with the Dolder tower in the background. This store sells christmas decorations year round

Car without cylinders

Musée des eaux de vie

Got Wood?

A Col sign! And a Picasso ;p

Another col

Artsy picasso. Clearly one of his earlier more realistic works

And finally a video, in which the Twingo attacks the descend of a col:

It really was a great activity! This was the first time we did something like this (inspired by Dusty’s rallye), and I have a feeling this will become a regular activity for the euromeets. Duurtlang and Out but with a W did a great job organising it, so hats of to them!

I hope you can make it over here one day!

I’ve done several Time-Speed-Distance rallies in the past, but not one like this, would be very fun! :)

There was supposed to be a regularity /time-speed-distance rally as an evening programme, but a snowbank on the route sadly prevented that from happening

These two pictures were sadly lacking.

Too bad no one found a Matiz to turn into a Matisse.

Yeah, it really seems like they have all vanished
