spartacus Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 As per the title, I'm in France for a few days, staying near a town called Milly la Foret. I've had a drive and walk around to capture some of its automotive finest for your delectation, there's the usual French stuff, with what I think is an absolute belter, spotted by Mrs Spartacus!

spartacus Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 A little Italian departure, I have one just like this in my garage, For Fiats Sake, will probably appreciate it... For Fiats Sake 1
spartacus Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Not old, but I thought the bumper repair had some AS imagination to it. mouseflakes and pompei 2
spartacus Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 I reckon this little beauty might get some love on here, I can remember it from my trip last year and hunted it out especially... saucedoctor, Six-cylinder, Bamboocarman and 8 others 11
spartacus Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Brit tin, although I'm guessing it may have been made in Europe somewhere?
spartacus Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Early Twingo, still seems to be quite a few of these around. Bamboocarman, For Fiats Sake, FakeConcern and 1 other 4
garethj Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 On my recent trips to France I was quite disappointed with the amount of old cars on the road, I think they had a scrappage scheme like us. But there are still plenty of old cars sitting in garage yards and farmers' fields. There's something very evocative about an old French car in faded white paint with pale yellow headlights, sitting forlornly on a dirt track. It might stay there, unmoved, for a decade or a half-pissed local peasant might get in and drive it into town. Essex V6 and carlo 2
AlabamaShrimp Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I'll say this before someone sits there seething saying 'this place isn't what it used to be' as while these are nice pics and I'm sure we all appreciate you posting them, this is another thread on the front page where the pictures could have just been put in the lazy spotters thread.
spartacus Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Genuinely sorry, maybe I'm not up to speed on correct forum etiquette. If it makes any difference there'll be a few more yet.
pshome Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I'll say this before someone sits there seething saying 'this place isn't what it used to be' as while these are nice pics and I'm sure we all appreciate you posting them, this is another thread on the front page where the pictures could have just been put in the lazy spotters thread.'this place isn't what it used to be' ... maybe its because there were no forum Polizisten around who think they have to teach others where to post and where not.... spartacus, SiC, pompei and 1 other 4
scruff Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Good work!!! On my recent trips to France I was quite disappointed with the amount of old cars on the road, I think they had a scrappage scheme like us. But there are still plenty of old cars sitting in garage yards and farmers' fields. There's something very evocative about an old French car in faded white paint with pale yellow headlights, sitting forlornly on a dirt track. It might stay there, unmoved, for a decade or a half-pissed local peasant might get in and drive it into town. Deffo less in northern France but still relatively chod-packed in the boonies and further south. When we went to Portugal to fetch the Range Rover we spanked the autoroute and saw absolutely no older motors at all. Don't see why this should be on lazy spotters TBH spartacus 1
AlabamaShrimp Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 'this place isn't what it used to be' ... maybe its because there were no forum Polizisten around who think they have to teach others where to post and where not....I genuinely don't care what's posted where but some people do and won't say they do, see thread in the other off topic bit
spartacus Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 This was a bit of a wreck, some interesting wiring inside, I tried to get a picture. SiC and pshome 2
spartacus Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Old Renault van, well loaded up with something, the exhaust was nearly dragging on the ground. pshome 1
spartacus Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Slight German departure, the 'Euro-land' wheel trims caught my eye. pshome 1
spartacus Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 Mrs Spartacus spotted this, I had to risk leaning through the gate with the phone on full zoom, so I don't know what the quality will be like on a big screen, a winner in my book though, a DS on the front lawn! pshome, For Fiats Sake and pompei 3
dollywobbler Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Ace. Lazy spotters works for the odd contribution. I think holiday threads usually deserve their own place. This one does. pshome, pompei, For Fiats Sake and 1 other 4
hairnet Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 ^^^ that - its not a walk down the raod and see stuff thread ffs lna oooffffffff spartacus 1
