These two are among the best I took this year that are not too personal to publish in the Web and already online, co-incidence that both happened on the EBI trip. The view from our hotel in Hamburg during overnight stay on way to Chimay and the start of the German GP on our way back home.

Every year, the best photos that I take are of my two sons. The rest are skateboarding, surfing, cars, etc. But to keep in the spirit of this thread, I offer up this:

Can you tell us anything about the Bugatti?

Is it an early Type 35 fitted with wire wheels and lights or a Tecla (Type 35A)  with a Type 35 motor?

Also can anyone explain the tail modification?

p.s. The 356 with the Rudge wheels is incredible!

Good eye!  :) I don't know very much about the car, except that it's a very well preserved 1926 type 35A. I've seen other T35A's with a rear hatch like that, it gives acces to the battery. But that doesn't explain the engine with magneto-drive.  ;)

They're nice subjects to photograph.

Not the most arty, not the best photo I've taken technically, I just like it the most.
