Shite Postcards

[Junkman]

A rare Ford Vedette koopay at Bagneres de Luchon:

 

 

The place has meanwhile been refurbished:

 

[Junkman]

A Moggy Floppytop at Bagnoles del'Orne:

 

 

 

Bought for the R16 (it's Bagnols sur Ceze, for those who care):

 

 

Same town, different shite:

 

 

 

On to Bandol. Is that snot green thing a Corvair?

 

 

The same town yields what I believe is a Mazda Luce and a baby shit coloured R16:

 

 

And some sporty shite:

 

[Junkman]

One of the famous Byrrh promo lorries in Bar le Duc:

 

 

 

Some desirable shite in Barr:

 

 

 

A Dyna Z Grand Standing in Basses. I think the yank convertible is a '46 Chevy.

 

 

 

Some pre war shite is still kicking about in Beaumont du Perigord:

 

 

 

In Beaune you can get a beer, but no meat.

 

 

 

Beaurepaire sounds like a good place for getting your shite fixed (card bought merely for the colours).

 

[dozeydustman]

Bought for the R16 (it's Bagnols sur Ceze, for those who care):

 

 

Sod the R16, I want that Peugeot 404 break familial!

[Junkman]

One doesn't outrule the other.

[Junkman]

Berck Plage.

 

 

Late one afternoon, a Corsair found a parking space.

 

 

 

Dozeydustman will ave hanother orn:

 

 

 

Daddy says 'no':

Nice British rarity there, too.....Austin A70 Hampshire.   Like Devon, but bigger and less clotted cream.

[Junkman]

Ami with double phares and flancs blancs in Besancon:

 

 

 

And a Prairie (sp?):

 

 

 

A wire and a lamp in Bethune:

 

 

 

France's best selling V8 and Germany's best selling 6 cylinder peacefully united in Beynac:

 

 

 

MKI Spitty in Beziers:

 

 

 

And a Datsun:

Ooooh, you are right! I didn't even notice. Thanks for pointing this out.

That little coach isn't too unspiffy, too.

[Junkman]

Anyway, we are now in Biarritz with its glitz.

 

It sure doesn't disappoint:

 

 

 

ADO 16 in Bidart:

 

 

 

Oops, it's been nicked:

 

 

 

Some oddball stuff, even for France:

 

 

 

Wires and another DS Break in Blonville-sur-Mer. Is that woodgrained Fablon? Also note Zephyr/Zodiac

and what I believe is a '63 Dodge Dart.

 

 

 

This is Bonneville. No, not the one you drive fast at.

 

[Junkman]

Bordeaux.

 

Is there some product placement going on here?

 

 

 

No shortage of R16s:

 

 

 

Posh, ay?

 

[Junkman]

Bormes-les-Mimosas - when did you last see a P5 and an Isabella side by side?
 

 
 
Naviplane N500s at Boulogne-sur-Mer:
 

 

 
 
In the town itself (I bet there were Norevs in that gift shop):
 

 
 
Everything is still pre facelift (or taillift) in Bourbonne les Bains:
 

[Junkman]

Two finned small cars heading for a dictatorship without a Hitler near Bourg Madame:

 

 

 

In town there is a well kitted out Seat 850 Sport and you always have that Harry who covers his windscreen:

 

 

 

Bourges is decidedly middle class:

 

[Junkman]

Bray-Dunes with what probably is a Simca Ariane (until PShome corrects me).

The Ariane was for people who hate V8s and fins, so this could be one of the probably three ever sold.

 

 

 

Bray-sur-Seine is far away from Bray-Dunes, but there is an R6:

 

 

 

A Panpan wants a kiss in Brest:

 

[Junkman]

Two Germans, a Frenchman and an Englishman walked into an American bar in Brive-la-Gaillarde...

 

 

 

 

 

This is all too French for you?

 

 

Well, I got Brighton on offer, not sure what to make of Casa Pupo though:

 

 

 

 

Then there is Bruges:

 

 

 

 

Brussels:

 

 

 

No idea what that contraption is:

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Two finned small cars heading for a dictatorship without a Hitler near Bourg Madame:

 

Rien à déclarer.

 

 

......Bourges is decidedly middle class bourgeois:

 

FTFY

 

....Then there is Bruges:

[Spottedlaurel]

Interesting to see the Datsun Z and Viva HC in Beaune.

 

Enjoying this alphabetical trip through France (and other places) of old.

[Junkman]

It's merely alphabetical because the computer sorted my filenames that way.

Should have started them with the Dept No.

[sheffcortinacentre]

In the lower bruge pic there's a white 2dr rekord & gold 2dr mk2 Granada.

[Junkman]

Today, we set off from Cabourg, which is full of happy campers (now there is a contradiction in terms).

 

 

 

If this is worth photographing for a postcard from Cagnes-sur-Mer, I don't really want to know what a dismal shithole it must be.

 

 

 

 

Well, it's grim.

 

 

[Junkman]

Calais.

 

This metropolis, ready to step up in the World, sure does warrant it's own shite postcard post.

 

Chemin de fer a vapeur et Opel Olympia decapotable des boches:

 

 

 

From a happier time, when engineers tried their hardest to to come up with ever more useless means of transport,

which were carefully designed to use as much petrol as humanly possible. Case in point: Typ 34.

 

 

 

Mini and R16 owners are doing it RONG. Avenger owner also fails to improve® the climate.

All others show how it's done.

 

 

 

P5 Taunus is wearing its spare P6 style, some Beatniks are set to illuminate that Continent by night with P100s:

 

 

 

Eggsort makes Jaaaag look dated. Hovercraft both of them.

 

 

 

 

One is burning petrol with gay abandon for not much reward, the other is an aeroplane:

 

 

 

The kind of holidaymakers I'll never understand. If I'd utilise all the shit they carry, I'd return more stressed out then when I set out.

 

 

 

Woefully inadequate boot requires tinned beans carried on roofrack and back up supplies van.

 

 

 

Tinned beans nom nomed before returning home.

 

 

 

One was made by a renown Aircraft company, the other one can fly:

 

 

 

Danke for buying German. Now ve vant your entire car industry.

 

 

 

Someone falsifying adulteries:

 

 

 

A tractor engined sports car.

 

 

 

 

 

Further down the street, Monsieur Hulot walks past a Ford.

 

 

 

A Sunbeam Rapist leading two rainy day coloured Error 404s.

 

 

 

Dub outwindowing even Traction Familiales:

 

 

 

You could buy a Renner before you set off for Blighty.

 

 

 

He pulled.

 

 

 

Trummy adorned Cinema showing the latest Bond flick:

 

 

 

Clockshite:

 

[Junkman]

Meharishite and Ranchoshite in Corsica.

 

 

 

In Cambrai, an Error 404 driver deems his headlights inadequate.

 

 

 

A red roadster I fail to identify:

 

 

 

Something appears to be free of charge in Cancale. I bet it's some animal on the red list.

 

[chaseracer]

Calais.

 

This metropolis, ready to step up in the World, sure does warrant it's own shite postcard post.

 

Yup.

 

Call me weird - as well you might - but I really LIKE Calais...

[chaseracer]

 

Blimey.  I never knew a Frégate break was even a thing.

 

And the Simca in the background; is that the same one as in the previous postcard?  Is it the photographer's?  Has it done a Gallic FTP...?

[3VOM]

 

 

 

 

 

Well, it's grim.

 

 

 

Grim - it's even advertising Mogadon.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Meharishite and Ranchoshite in Corsica.

 

 

 

In Cambrai, an Error 404 driver deems his headlights inadequate.

 

 

 

A red roadster I fail to identify:

 

 

 

Something appears to be free of charge in Cancale. I bet it's some animal on the red list.

 

For some reason when I looked properly at that roadster and realised it wasn't a Lancia, I thought Siata or possibly OSI, neither of which I have any real knowledge of.

[mercrocker]

One of those OSCA Fiats Italian MGB things....
