This is the GGG speaking. France an Epik Phail - Caution: Alternatives considered

[Cleon-Fonte]

It's a Peugeot Golf.

 

You have my condolences.

[r.welfare]

Car Of The Year though - think of it as a modern Chrysler Horizon or something.

Just like every other car these days.

My God, what a hopeless piece of newfangled globaltosh. At least it's Junkmatic, but with twice the required number of gears.

Also, it stalls every time you stop at a light. I had cars like that 30 odd years ago.

Just making a stop at the Ploërmel McDonald's to have a Coke and use their WiFi. A couple of observations - this part of France is switched off around 8pm, so it is very quiet.

 

Nantes is chock full of old French chod.

 

 

The plane from Southampton was powered by spinny fans.

 

 

The Volkswagen 308 COTY is being embarrassingly economical.

 

 

More to follow...

That's not a caravan. It's a mobile kharzi and tool shed.

Folding caravans are the way forward !

How was the Dash 8? I've always wanted to fly in a propellor plane but reviews on Seatguru all say they're noisy, cramped, and hot.

Would have thought those big fans would have kept it nice and cool ?

[Junkman]

How was the Dash 8?

 

Like a Diesel Stroke Eight that went over a cliff.

 

Avoid anything that flies. Anything.

 

Yesterday, we took those von Richthofen's assets, then we took an autobus, then we took a tramway,

hell, we even walked

 

Now let me assure you, my friends, that the only agreeable way to travel is by motorcar, trust me on that.

Motorcar, I said, not newfangled globaltosh, although even that is still better than anything else we did yesterday.

French electronics? Please do hit that Reset button while cruising a Route départementale and share the experience with us:

- how long before the engine resumed?

- did the brakes start working before or after the engine resumed?

- how many minutes after that moment when total silence sets in did the airbags release?

- Was that before or after that cow started licking your faces?

It was noisy, cramped, and hot.

 

I liked it.

I travel on a Dash 8 every few weeks to visit my other half, and they're great planes. Yes they're a bit noisy, cramped & bouncy but delightfully mechanical. Think of one as a flying LDV Convoy

Daesh 8? 

You've bought a fucking Renault 20, haven't you? 

[Frogchod]

53 and a bit mpg? That's too good.

It's a hire car, therefore needs driving properly*

Next screen shot better show 8.5 Lt/100

there will be a button for that somewhere

[hairnet]

they use something similar to go to belfast but its not as pointy as the aire de junk

 

shouldnt that 405 be on an old plate?

[garethj]

In management terms we'd call this "losing control of the agenda".

 

What are you going to buy?

[eddyramrod]

Or, what have you already bought?

[Junkman]

We could have lost control of the agenda if there was an agenda in the first place.
The way we are going about it we are merely losing, let alone control of anything.
 
Anyway, today there was a day.
 
First, we stopped to get some supplies.
 

 
They were closed.
 

 
It wasn't worth raiding the place.
 

 
Petrol wasn't available either.
 

 

Let alone food.

 

[Junkman]

We saw something familiar.

 

 

So we had to investigate trespass.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quite a healthy chunk of archishite was had as well.

 

 

Innocenti as well.

 

 

Even appropriately gearboxed.

 

[Junkman]

Then we found some interesting stuff.

 

 

Cills luk good, might need some welding, nothing serious.

 

 

OMGRATROD.

 

 

What's left of what I believe is a 1930 Citroen C4.

 

 

And another one.

 

[Junkman]

Then we spotted a Teilhol.

 

 

 

 

And the sea.

 

[eddyramrod]

Never mind that, show us the 1977 Cadillac Eldorado you've just bought!

[Junkman]

Sadly no '77 Aildreado purchasage materialised, because we were on our way to actually for the first time ever in our lives physically see a car we found on Leboncoin.

We were so excited!

 

Well, not too excited to miss pappage of a 305 on the way just for you guys.

 

[Junkman]

What we went to see today is actually at the opposite end of the automobile spectrum of an Eldeirdre.

I'm honestly sad to say that I have to say it turned out to be total rubbish.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Very good of you to detour via Cul du Monde.  Charming place!

[Guest Breadvan72]

I hoped for one of these.

 

Bonus points for anyone who can identify the driver and his pal.  NO Googling.

 

 

 

[garethj]

Seats on the R4 look marvellous, apparently Mrs_garethj's grandmother had a few and when they broke down she would dump them in the nearest ditch in rural Vendee

[dollywobbler]

This is, so far, the best non collection caper ever! I'm loving it.
