	Denmark - one of my favourite places to visit Sample photos below from a recent 2 week tour, hopefully I've remembered to make a note of the venue names this time < photo uploader issues - be patient > Links to photos from last years trip forum.retro-rides.org/thread/199786/denmark-tour-classic-racing-shows

	First stop was a storage "barn" where my folks have a couple of cars ... to find this paked outside ready to go out on a run There's also a few bikes in storage - including a cute Flash Gorden inspired scooter Not a good photo but it gives an idea of the size of the main hall

	On to a cruise at a local port, which had some rather special machines One for @grumpynorthener ? Apparently this was imported as a rolling chassis with bulkhead, everything else on the car has been handmade or modified to fit. Amazing & absolutely lovely ! And a promo vehicle for the local Jowett restorer A genuine Bugatti type 3b parked up alongside the more familiar cruise cars Too many others to list them all, but to give an idea Several varieties of Healy More bikes ( the early 70s Honda metalics are very easy to spot)

	Thurdays are always worth a trip to Roskilde (part viking boat museum, part carpark & showfield full of interesting "stuff" ) Note the size of the showfield in the background, the carpark (not in shot) gets used as overspill parking

	Took time off from car stuff to do tourist things in Copenhagen, only to find the main plaza being used as promo parking for the upcoming Grand Prix A mate with us hadn't been on a Copenhagen boat cruise before so off we went - the Royal yacht was impressive as it set off from port Tip for boat cruises : you have a choice of 2 next to each other, the one at the end of the canal is expensive, use the one 100 yards along the side for a much better (& cheaper) tour

	Next stop - Copenhagen Classic Grand Prix < confession time - I was using a new camera and managed to lock it on day1 so not as many photos as usual. Oops ! > Walking around the pits is an experience. As the racing is held in the city centre, tents are put up on side-roads and carparks and are used as makeshift workshops. Maserati & Buggatti in their naked glory Vintage formula 1 ? Also more modern machines

	Very few photos of the actual racing (I kept forgetting !), but that and walking around the trade stands / display stalls was a very pleasant way to pass the time. Also a special thanks to our hosts FTZ motor factors ! The sight that greeted us for breakfast on day 2 (it's easy to tell which day it is - I like the dark ales they were serving but they ran out on day 1 due to "unexpected demand" )

	Wow that Jowett Javelin Jupiter coupe is a thing of beauty! I always thought Denmark had insanely high import taxes on supercars and the like, pretty sure my friend did some work for a client over their with an insane collection of exotica most unregistered due to the taxes

	I happened to go to the viking museum a couple of years ago when a smaller event was going on there. Sort of local thing. They where very surprised with the appearance of a 70s Toyota on Dutch plates

	skinnylew - yep, I was told import tax on cars is at least 150% The Doctor - they have a "kick the tyres" meet there every Thursday, the one I went to was just their normal weekly get-together It sounds like you can find a local meet every night of the week during the summer ( the other meeting I went to was a regular Tuesday event ). No chance of getting bored

And a promo vehicle for the local Jowett restorer Everything forward of the A posts is Jowett factory coachwork and everything from the rear of A posts is custom built - a number of chassis were made available to coach builders whom then clad the cars with their designs some were ungainly and others very desirable - this is one of the more desirable built ones - Ib Rasmussen is a larger than life overseas Jowett Car Club member and very well known in Jowett circles - has a Jupiter prepared race car along with several other Jowett's - it's a small world Great Pic's Nomad & well spotted

	I'm off to Copenhagen in a couple of weeks for a long weekend - looking forward to it even more, now I know to keep my eyes peeled for cool cars :-)
