Dear Members, dear friends of the SMAC,

discussions about the Euro and Europe, wondering if

Greece or Spain would drown or could be saved, scandals

in leading banks worldwide, randy Sandy, forward-looking

US-elections and much more, have made 2012 another

weird year, about to be forgotten, as the new year and tons

of new experiences and adventures are coming up. The Club

has been marching on just fine, thank you. After the

snow-and-ice trackday in January, a wonderfully instruc-

tive and funny meeting, in May we met at the lavish

Concorso d'Eleganza on Lake Como; always a genuine

highlight for every decent connoisseur. The first summer

weekend lead us over beautiful passes, from St. Moritz

to Vaduz, to Dr. Seeger's mouthwatering Rolls-Royce

collection. Mind you, not only his delectable cars were

mouthwatering, but also the delicious lunch we were offered

amongst this stupendous collection of flying ladies. All in all

a formidable and beautifully harmonious weekend which

ended in the romantic Bellavista. Che bella vista ! September

took us to Lord March's stunningly beautiful Goodwood

Revival in the south of England. The sheer quality of racing-

cars from all over, competing or just resting in the lawn, is

enough to drop everyone's jaw. Our group was expertly

guided by our Vicepresident, Gian Luigi Cavalli, and gene-

rously sponsored by The Berenberg Bank, in whose lounge

we were to enjoy the various races. Great stuff ! Our special

thanks go to Andreas Brodtmann and Lord March for their

splendid gesture and organisation.

Our monthly get-togethers always offer wonderful oppor-

tunities to meet old and new friends. Knowing that many of

you have scintillating ideas, I would like to invite you to let

us know. Fresh input is always greatly appreciated to make

the St. Moritz Automobile Club a melting pot for old- and

youngtimers (the cars.), and a pleasant meeting point for

Members and friends.

Cheers to the New Year !

Jos M. Oliver
