2013 in pictures

It is that time of the year again, and waded through an ocean of pictures taken this year, and selected somewhat over 1000 of them, to give a representative overview of what I saw and what I liked. No Le Mans Classic or Monaco Historic GP this year, but we did Tour Auto, and the usual main events.
Hope you will like it.
