View from the right bank and Carrousel bridge. The bridge visible here is in the dark is the Royal bridge (built 1685). It is still standing on its original wood pillars, immersed in the river.
The illuminated building (built 1728) was the former house of count of Belle-Isle. It burnt in 1871 and was rebuilt and extended to become the fund deposits and Consignment.
Right behind, the metal structure is the former Orsay railway station (built 1898). Since 1986, it is the museum of Art dedicated to the 19the century only.
In the background, the Eiffel tower, a few miles away.
Het café bij het Gare du Nord waar ik ooit met René P. om 6 uur 's morgens neerstreek na een nachtelijke excursie over het metronet. Achter ons hoorden we de kellner de ene na de andere wijnfles opentrekken. Wij hielden het bij koffie, de croissants kwamen later

Inspired by BMW’s achingly beautiful 507, the Z8 was masterfully penned by Henrik Fisker and perfectly melded classic looks with modern performance. Under the bonnet was the E39 M5’s 4.9-litre V-8 mated to a proper six-speed gearbox and producing 400 bhp.
This particular Z8 is finished in the popular colour combination of Titanium Silver over a two-tone Sport Red and Black leather interior. The car was sold new in August of 2000 to its first owner, Oliver Lange of Lugano, Switzerland. Lange owned the car until February of 2001, at which time it had travelled just 2,155 km and was purchased by its second owner, with whom the car has remained ever since.
With the current owner, the car has recently had its nose and bonnet repainted by Loris Kessel in Lugano to rectify stone chips, and the VANOS control unit was repaired in November of 2014 by Rolando Agustoni SA, the authorized BMW dealership in Balerna, Switzerland. Importantly, the car is accompanied by its original hardtop and stand, car cover, as well as some previous service invoices.
Beautifully designed, the Z8 is perhaps the perfect modern convertible for a two-person weekend trip, providing excellent performance, sublime comfort, and practicality. This attractive example surely will not disappoint.

The V8 engine was no novelty when Henry Ford introduced the Ford V8 in 1932, but never before had such an engine been produced successfully in large numbers and at so low a price. Styling followed the lines of the superseded Model A, but with an extra 25bhp the newcomer's performance was in an entirely different league. Engine development proceeded at a brisk pace and by 1936 the V8's initial problems had been overcome and maximum power raised to 85bhp. The original 221ci (3,622cc) V8 was joined by a smaller 136ci (2,227cc) 60bhp version from 1936.
While the number of body styles available on the long-running Model T chassis had been relatively limited, the arrival of its Model A successor for 1928 had ushered in an era of much greater variety and choice. New body styles for '29 included a wood-bodied Station Wagon, the first of the latter being built on 25th April 1929. The station wagon's body style was nicknamed 'Woodie', and in later years would be extended to other models such as the Sportsman two-door convertible offered here. Ford's '47 convertibles were available only on the top-of-the-range Super Deluxe chassis, and so came with the 239ci (3.9-litre) V8 engine producing 100 horsepower. The V8 engine was a big success in performance and reliability as a million units had been exported to China as stationary engines for the production of electricity in Chiang Kai-shek's army.
Commencing in the autumn of 1945, surprised like the other manufacturers by the sudden end of the war, Henry Ford II commissioned his designers to produce a spectacular model using the company's expertise in using wood, thanks to their factory located at Iron Mountain in the forests of Michigan. This artisan type construction was made possible with the experience and knowledge of working both mahogany and ash in this specialist craftsmanship.
One of a mere 102 still existing, and believed the only one in Europe, this rare sporting Ford was purchased, completely restored, in the USA and imported into Switzerland in April 1984 by a Swiss collector. The honorary president of the Royal Historical Vehicle Club of Belgium, the current vendor purchased the car from him and imported it into Belgium in September of the same year. It subsequently visited Switzerland again, as evidenced by the Category Award obtained in 2002 at the Geneva Motor Show. In 2007 this Ford 'Woodie' was one of the star attractions at the Sports Utility-themed exhibition at the Brussels Motor Show (photograph on file). Other photographs show the car in the American section of the Autoworld Show in Brussels, and at Spa Francorchamps where it was used to drive Formula 1 stars Michael Schumacher and Ricardo Patrese around the circuit prior to the Grand Prix. This delightful and very rare 'Woodie' has been rallied cautiously on a close to yearly basis, but not too much, and is presented in nice condition.
