Your flying to Nantes with Flybe. I deduce that its something french and light as there baggage cost more than the stuff folk buy on here.

I'm going for MK1 Twingo.

It's impossible to tell.

We'll pick up the wrong car at the wrong price at the wrong location. Or two.

I don't think they've actually bought anything yet. They're just going over to have a scout round and buy whatever takes their fancy.

Oh you tease.

 

Whatever it is, if you find a solid pair of Simca 1100 A-pillars while you're in the land of baguettes, noxious cheese and questionable military strategy then please remember what a deserving chap I am.  Will reimburse in cash and collect from Granadaland.

Which exact portion of them do you need?

Ooo!  That sounds promising!

 

 

Sill to scuttle, really.  The bit around the windscreen looks fine.  It's kind of delaminated where there are multiple skins:

(Sorry for crap photo.)  Braddon81 reckons it's fairly solid under the crispy outer layer, and the fact that the doors don't droop would support that theory.  But if you do find any, the more you can scavenge the better.

Well, we haven't found them yet...

But he came close once.

It's alright, I'm excited at 1) the probable Gallic shonkiness of whatever you two are going looking for in the middle of France and 2) the merest possibility, the faintest whiff of a Rancho a-pillar or two. 

 

I get excited quite easily.  I'm also good at getting over disappointment.  Practice, you see.

Literally....

 

The most excited I've been about a collection thread this year.

I'm still trying to get over the idea of Junkman and Conelrad riding back a pair of Velosolexes.

I'll smoke some crystal and see if I can tune in it to JM's ramblings here.

 

Meanwhile, have some return journey suggestions.post-5582-0-39554600-1485552014_thumb.png

I really hope it's that R12, it's identical to the one we had when I was five. Except ours was RHD and hadn't lost its bumper over-riders.

 

May your quest be fruitful and your god go with you.

No updates,? Did they die in the arms of Marina or from an infection they caught in a shared plastic bathroom  at a "Formula 1" hotel?

You can always rely on the GGG for epic collections of temptation and mystery. Good luck lads.

I'm sure it's a tax-deductible trip to see Wolter and Marina

If that is the case, we should have all twelve pictures for next year's calendar.
