Andermatt Swiss Meeting

This is a small selection of the photos from the Andermatt meeting organised by the Swiss Z Club.

Three cars travelled in convoy from the UK--David and PN in M Roadster, Gary and Jo in Porsche 996 Turbo Cab and Tim in Z4 3.0i SMG. Nick (Z3 1.9) had travelled down earlier and we met other owners in Luzern--MarkB and Greg CH (both Z4) as well Belgian drivers and a guy who had driven all the way from Norway.

The count was up to 300 cars when this glorious Stratus Z8 arrived


And still group after group arrived


M Roadster with 4.7-litre Hartge V8 conversion


Just in case there's any doubt


Red is a brave choice on a Z4


Red with Dream Red interior is even braver


Very rare Sundown (only five cars built in this colour)


If Britain had such bright sunshine, Toledo would be more popular


Three of the ten or so Z8s that arrived


MarkB's car in front of the final count (326 cars)

Group shot at one of the Susten pass glaciers


We got close enough to sample the meltwater


Zmeagol blends well into the background


We descended the Grimsel pass on the right, had lunch at Gleich at the bottom, then climbed the Furka pass


The Rhone Glacier on the Furka pass

This was the moment that I realised TomTom navigation system had bought me along a cycle track. I briefly considered trying to drive through!
