Junkman Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 This is how I love my shite postcards. Artificial colouring - check. Awash with Autoshite - check. Backdrop is Archishite - check. Exotic location - check. (It's Essen, if you need to know) Something politically incorrect going on - check (Note the cigar shop) When you could have an ice cream and a beer next to a Pfaff sewing machines shop in Lainate (Milan). Note angular Ford not being as angular as the Lancia in front of it. Also, there is an NSU Prinz 4 parked further down the street. A proper car and a very fast A Kadett are parked at the railway station in Aulnoye. This one is just marvelously shite.

Junkman Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 And for those who like really old French chod, this is St Jean de Monts last week. Note early 4CV (5 lug wheels) and late 4CV (3 lug wheels) parked side by side.I learned this distinguishing feature from Marina Wolters. Stop sniggering! Staying in France, this medieval archishite and some stinking cylinders with holes in themare in Saint-Jean-Pied-De-Port and no, I did not make this up. Of extreme noteworthiness is that the place to the right of the gate appears to be open for business. mercrocker, Frogchod, RayMK and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just described Dieppe. Were you lost ? Dieppe also doesn't look like this: Next time you travel via Ouisterham give me a shout Ouisterham looks like this: Junkman, RayMK and hennabm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hazebrouck ca 1982. There's a Dolly Sprint. Imagine how many Simcas would have been parked there just ten years earlier.How could they fuck this up so badly?

pshome Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Parking spaces used to be larger, 3 cars can fit in two spots, try that today.What is the black one at the very right next to white 404? RayMK and hennabm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Jaguar Mark II? Also a Spitfire a few cars along that row. RayMK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayMK Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I also thought Jag Mk2, but there's another perhaps lesser known black car next to a black 404 a couple of rows higher in the photo. I reckon that one could be a Simca Ariane or possibly a Simca Vedette. NorfolkNWeigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
