Few photos here from last weekends Rio Road Rally in the Scottish Highlands. In attendance were RPM Club members, Christian Koenigsegg and Victor Muller and Peter Van Rooy from Spyker who kindly bought a car all the way from Holland.

To top it all Christian Koenigsegg announced at the dinner at Glamis Castle that he will be making a world speed record attempt shortly, and invited all our club members to attend the attempt. Just need to find a track!

As an aside - I was pretty sure the turquoise-green car in the top picture (line up) was an early Griff, where in later pics it turns out to be a Tuscan Mk2 convertible. That car would have continued the Griffmaera flame and taken it to reach new heights IMO if it weren't for the unfortunate environment it came to fruition in. That car is every inch as gorgeous as its spiritual predecessors.

@northo
wow, lol...good news, guess he felt good that day then
Maybe if he asks nicely they can use Nardo or the high speed VW course?
I saw the KE he brought with him was already RHD... so they make those too?

The Koenigsegg he drove on the weekend belongs to the RPM Club

[touching cloth]

Are you sure that GTRene isn't actually Christian von Koenigsegg?

From what i remember of your profile picture Rene, you look pretty similar!!!

[southpaw]

You have such a hard life mate, if you ever feel the pressures too much I'd be happy to take some work off your hands

We're twins and you know how brothers are, my car is faster then yours...well, he's right he beat me with that
Also we share the same cut and polish bald-head salon
Sadly he won't share his cars with me he does an excellent job though and I really hope he gets the high speed record for road-cars.

One of the funnier moments of the weekend was in St Andrews and a guest at the hotel was looking at the Koenigsegg as Christian was sitting inside it, the guest then asked Christian if the car was his, His response was "no it is actually a hire car", great guy with a great sense of humour.
