Last Ride JDOST 2012

under the motto "Austria, top

"Or but: A perfectly organized round to culinary, culture, and fear of heights."

Summarized by Martin S.

The organization team would have been almost none on the day of our fall exit, what we of course only learned because Claudia and Peter S. had blown off the seemingly inevitable during the preparatory work separation in all happiness. Also, on what page daughter Christina and son Constantin, also significantly involved in the success of the exit would have beaten whether they alone would have pulled through the exit or moved us away, remains in the dark of not occurred any case history.

Our fine cars but had entrance in the morning at the WR. Neustadt's main square, which only succeeds when a pedestrian, if you previously knock on the right doors. If we so want to put a small tip the local beautification groups at this point: Jaguars on the main courses!

However, we had aligned with some of these culinary a still more ambitious target that day, namely 180 km, several intermediate stations, but also cultural was and what for the Group afraid of heights. Who did not belong to the latter, could enjoy free of side effects the views, the Skywalk on the high wall offers - a kind of balcony with free looking down, almost on the heads of the mountaineers who climbed the rocks just mautstraßen - and car-free. There was the first stage, namely after we skillfully at the foot of the toll road, namely in the dialogue that had thwarted a coach. However, we were a little weather thwarted, however to the extent compatible: the dreaded rains stayed out, and with them also the feared crowds of tourists on the high wall: we watched alone in the distance and then alone again went back to the parking lot of the high mountain House, not returned, but went further to Puchberg am Schneeberg. There the artist VOKA not only a the snow mountain railway station, but also a lavish Studio operates. It is the dimensions of his fame say, adapted, but which was not always the case: in the early years, VOKA painted to order, because he developed his own style, benamste him with "Spontaneous realism", now are also very well-known personalities among its customers. We asked then if he would paint even a Jaguar for the JDOST, want to paint from us but now, in what is the level of the order would screw our club dues. First guesses: approximately up to the Skywalk.

To the lunch, there were only a few kilometres, the Schneeberghof waited a buffet, which was larger than our time budget. Who eagerly step on the buffet, could nevertheless to overeat, that is the innkeeper of our final Guest House, the Peischinger its just behaviour enjoyed village hosts, but still was it not so far: the line ran from the lunch buffet about Pottschach to Gloggnitz (which was now the very shortened representation), then via the old Semmering pass road up to the monuments of the hotel building of turn of the century. One hundred years ago we proceeded still on summer holiday instead of on vacation, and the proximity to Vienna was an advantage, which only became a disadvantage at times of the economic miracle. Now the hotels are no longer say, in the prime of their lives.

That difference it from us, we reached the village wirten Peischinger with several meanders. The schedule kept by the way perfectly until the end. Even a present Daimler, often the perforation of the fuel filter needs or also of the Verlötens of a renegade cable into the Distributor, was this time smooth until the finish. Moreover the other Jaguars also.
