I received the word from the organizers that this event is still on this year (unfortunately, my plans have changed due to COVID, and I won't be able to attend).

Nevertheless - this is what I received from the organizers...

"You can give your friends in Germany our contact (office@jcc.ch), we'd love to have them here. Or they can contact the Swiss De Tomaso club (www.detomaso.ch), the event is on their programme for this year- they're apparently quite enthusiastic about the meet. Looking forward to having you here another year!"

Chuck TX..

working to get 4907 reday to stand in for the nice US folks from the forum!

Matthias/Stuttgart

Hi Matthias -

I want to see 4907 "On the Stand"...  up on the podium winning a well deserved award!

Good luck, and send pictures - like this one!

looks like I need to bring some ladies..

no all good. The truth is, to get a car which was fully disassembled back to STABLE LIFE, it is an endevour. Doing my best. Currently doing the rear brakes upgrade as stock was too dangerous. Should be ok.
Still some issue with the Carb..tuning required, some blocking at accelleration..guess secondary needs a bit more opening. Holley 600 List 1850-3.

At least a new picture..as I always have oily fingers when I drive so hard to use the cam

I am on to go!!!

Matthias

Looks great, Matthias - you will be the star!

Rocky

Cool Picture Advertising the event - Pantera, Interceptor & Iso Grifo (I think).

And a nice blue Longchamp....

Looked like a great event.

Tx Chuck for pictures..looked like a top event ..well ..I waisted my day on the Autobahn close to Tuttlingen (1/2 way down)  with a busted water pipe clip. Lost all water and got home on a trailer. NO PICTURE was suposed to be take so angy I was..

..well the fault where wrong pipe clips too soft ..garbage... .. ordered now 24 new with real metric screws....

What a mess.. and lost day..due a little but sever mistake..

this will go in now..

Matthias

That’s a tough one Matthias.

Sorry to hear about your trip. I know you were looking forward to attending, and had done a lot of work to get ready.

Chuck

Big article in “zwischwengas” about the show with lots of great pictures of the cars...

 https://www.zwischengas.com/de...id-Treffen-2020.html

Did anyone else on this board attend the show?  I think I counted 10-11 De Tomaso there...

Rocky

PS. That article is in German but it’s pretty easy to figure out what they’re talking about.

The event is on again for 14 August 2021.

Hopefully a few of you European enthusiasts can join Matthias this year, and write up a report for the rest of us…

Unfortunately, I can not join you this year…

For me that would be the best adult amusement park possible. Provided there is some kind of a turnout? Always makes me regret not buying that C130 cargo plane but that would be some fuel bill just to get there with "the car".

I forget how many cars I could get in it? A few.

Imagine running them "down to the Casino" and parking them all in the courtyard together? A better scenario then even James Bond could create?
