TRIDENT MULHOUSE 2020

Dieses monatliche Treffen wurde 2009 ins Leben gerufen und hat seinen Geist der Geselligkeit und des Respekts zwischen Enthusiasten bewahrt. Kein "Drift" oder anderes "Brennen", das ein unverantwortliches Bild ergibt, das kein Liebhaber der Feinmechanik braucht, insbesondere in unserem Land, in dem die Repression von Automobilen Jahr für Jahr neue Rekorde bricht.

CHEVROLET WATCHES 2020

Louis Chevrolet hat nie Uhren hergestellt ... Sein Vater Joseph Félicien Chevrolet und sein älterer Bruder Alfred Édouard Chevrolet waren Uhrmacher. Louis und seine beiden Brüder Arthur und Gaston waren Rennfahrer. Wir müssten also sagen „Chevrolet Uhren“ mit dem Vornamen des Vaters oder des Bruders :-) aber da Louis der bekannteste ist, hat das Marketing seine arbeit gemacht :-). Trotzdem sind diese „echten“ Schweizer Uhren nicht nur sehr schön, sondern auch für ihre Qualität bekannt. Warum also nicht Spaß haben (natürlich müssen Sie die Mittel haben) und eine Louis Chevrolet-Uhr hinter dem Lenkrad Ihrer Chevrolet Corvette tragen ...

CARE RIDE IN THE VOSGES 2020

This magnificent tourist route was created during the First World War with a strategic aim to ensure logistics and defense on the front of the Vosges.

THOUSAND PONDS

When Denis and Jean-Baptiste, our « terrifortains » friends, organized this outing, they could not imagine for a moment that in early May we had to take out the Vettes under early morning snow. Fortunately the roads were clear ! without that we would have had a serious problem. Resulting from the melting of the glaciers 12,000 years ago, the area of 1000 ponds allows nice cruising, visits and tastings of good local products. At the end of the day, the group gathered in front of the « Lion de Belfort » sculpted by Auguste Bartholdi in 1879.

Passionate about Corvette, we love above all the rides with our V8s and the visits, tastings and others are there to enhance the whole. Périgord is a superb region steeped in history to visit.

The success was there and our volunteer members are ready to repeat the experience.
