I thought so, however the idea to post images of oddball, modified 2CVs was GHT's :thumbs: so thanks due to him. Thanks John, you might remember I said that the Deux Chevaux are for wimps. Well I stand corrected. Nicolo Lamberti and Milko Dalla Costa, who run the Italian 'Nimik' rally team, took th...

I went to an AsDa fuel outlet yesterday afternoon to fill the bB's tanks. No queue, petrol only £1.06 per litre, but no LPG left so I only have about 800 miles (a month's worth during "normal" circumstances so no worries there) of petrol A report in the paper tells of a garage in Birmingham selling...

What scrotum filled nonsense, (my polite way of saying b*ll*x) we are banged up under house arrest. Ther...

Just no pleasing some French folk :scared: I quite like the older pickup but its a bit too complicated trying to shoehorn a 70s bad taste caravan on the back Speaking of bad taste, something to please ght :lol: https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/1998-Ford-Escort-Max-Power-tribute-car-END-OF-WORLD-SALE-40-off...

What cracked me up in the Renault write up was "des cookies." DeGaulle would turn in his grave. He hated borrowing from another language, especially English, worse, American English. It's why you're stuck with the five syllable: 'radiographie.' DeGaulle just wouldn't tolerate x-ray.

GHT, a man of your means must have at least one shower in his home, so repurpose lavatory paper that would - under normal circumstances - have served in the smallest room into the caravan, then take a combined number two / shower session when in residence at Château GHT. Simple! If I really have to...
