Second Best "52 Weeks Project"
Since I have been joining the 52 Weeks Project on Flickr it has happened several times that I had to chose between two or more self portraits that week. A difficult choice. The solution is to create a set of all good alternatives. Life is full of choices and sometimes a week has too much opportunities. This is one of those alternatives, the second best. And sometimes just as good.

Since the beginning, Renaults have been distinguished from the rest of automobile production by their so-called "alligator" hood, the radiator being placed first on the sides, then behind the engine. The 1922 Motor Show saw the appearance of another new product, the Renault KJ. It allows the brand to reconnect with small models and to compete with Citroën in this area because, since the war, the range has included a 10 CV.

Le port Hercule et Monte-Carlo pris du Rocher.
Ouf, nous sommes arrivés. La traversée de la ville a été une surprise: pas ce qu'on croyait (photo suivante).

Ten years before, the 365 GTB4 “Berlina Boxer”, followed by the 512 BB had made their impact. But in 1984, Ferrari entrusted Pininfarina with the design of the all-new “Testarossa”, while retaining the architecture of the flat 12-cylinder engine. The rocker covers are painted in a vermiculated red color reminiscent of the famous name “Testarossa”, a symbol of the sporting successes of the 1950s. Nearly 400 hp, almost 300 km/h top speed, a breathtaking line, it seduces since its presentation at the Paris Motor Show in 1984.
