Toys on Parade at the Susten Pass

So en route from Interlachen to Luzern, we decided to drive the fearsome Susten Pass road, one we had possibly not done before. The east side was in the clouds, mostly a white-out with 87 hair-pin turns, etc. Just short of the pass, we stopped in a parking lot for lunch, and to examine the six (Lotus/Caterham) 7's that pulled in behind us.
One of my favorite cars--sorry, Ken, no red ones...







BRG, of course








And a lime green; they all had headsets, talking to each
other







And then, no sooner had they buzzed off, than a cavalcade
of exotics, maybe 20 of them all in a line, came roaring
down the road...








I barely had time to reach for the camera










Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, all gunning their
engines after the tight turn...








And keep snapping pix








We finally lumbered on up to the pass, where the clouds
thinned a bit








The road back down the other side








Nicer views






And then, finally in Luzern, Tribschen actually, aloft,
another toy, possibly the same tri-motor I had seen
above the Eiger; and not a Ford Tri-Motor, either...
("oh, no, dem Fokkers were flying Messerschmitts...")
