Bavarian collection - badermatic Tagora

[pshome]

It's foggy and we are running late...

 

We stay within Bavaria, going to beautiful Deggendorf at the blue river danube.

 

Guessing is now officially open.

 

Hint: it's blue, of course French and as a pshome first OMG it decides itself what gear is best.

[pshome]

Passing Dingolfing.. BMW factory to the right behind the trees.

[pshome]

The blue Danube...behind the wall

[artdjones]

I'm sitting in the Rathausplatz in Augsburg right now.Have a successful trip.

[somewhatfoolish]

Simca with a flathead V8.

[mercrocker]

Renault 10 Major with push-button Jaeger in Gordini racing colours.

[Junkman]

Peugeot 405 2.0 auto.

[Junkman]

Besides, you came back from Benin to Bavaria to collect a Peugeot???

Some things don't compute.

[pshome]

Naa.. not a Peugeot.

[pshome]

Homeward bound

[pshome]

Something blue is chasing us.

[pshome]

There it is. 1982 Tagora GLS Automatique. A real garage find, slept there for 10 years.

 

 

 

Made the way out on it's own power!

 

Petrol station shot.

I thought you'd given up on Tagoras & sold off your fleet to Norway?

Life without a Tagora is not good for health, especially the ability to say "no" suffers.

[John F]

I know what you mean... your new one looks good, shame about the gearbox though.

[pshome]

"Minor" problem with the struts, makes steering a bit funny..

 

.. both sides

 

Apart from that it seems to be perfectly ok. Closer look will tell. Only 100k Km on the counter.

[Junkman]

I miss German pez stations.

British ones are all fucking dumps that look like they've been imported from Benin in the 1990s.

[320touring]

Good to see this being saved:)

 

Sometimes particular models of car get under your skin, and you just have to have another!

[pshome]

We decided on a short cut, got lost in Niederbayern.

[DSdriver]

I hope you don't have to turn around!

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Looks remarkably clean on the outside. Until you showed us the struts, I was about to write that German home garages are less damp than British ones.

[mk2_craig]

Oh good god an automatic Tagora, this is getting close to the pinnacle of shite. Don't suppose its diesel for extra win?

[BorniteIdentity]

I want it. 10/10

[carlo]

Insanely jealous.  Tagora + automatic = the pinnacle.

 

Wonder what box this had, the 504 ZF?

A shortcut is the longest distance between two locations.

 

 

I hope you don't have to turn around!

 

I hope he does.

Anybody know where they got the name Tagora from incidentally?

 

Maybe there's a Tagora get soewhere out there.....

[mercrocker]

As far as I can recall, they made the name up....

[Junkman]

Tagora is a genus of moth.

2122? That was named after the Talbot, not the other way around.
