French Alps NO SNOW - NO 104ZS Cup… Now Shite spotting trip

[Faker]

Those on the beige that know me… know I love all things Peugeot Talbot Sport.. hence this post! (Admins feel free to move if you believe it’s in the wrong area).

The second week in January sees myself and partner head off to the French Alps to watch this spectacle.

I will of course have photos and videos to post once there… with any luck there’ll be some other interesting vehicles in attendance!

[wuvvum]

I had no idea this was a thing!

[Ghosty]

I'd be surprised if this doesn't stay on the main board. 

[Pieman]

Oh excellent, Andros Trophy does Autoshite!  

[sporty-shite]

This looks fantastic. I look forward to seeing more.

So it’s literally the first week of January…. and European countries are experiencing a heatwave…. There’s no snow on the resorts…  with ski runs closing…. you couldn’t make this shit up! Will have to make enquiries to confirm that the event isn’t going to be re-scheduled… no point arriving at the French Alps for there to be no racing or skiing!

[Faker]

Yup.. looks like it’s going to be postponed… and I’m all paid up for two to go next week! I can’t change to whatever the new date will be. Looks like it’s just shite spotting in the French Alps then!

Go and enjoy it while you can. Next year it will be engulfed in flames. Saw it on the news this morning, bunch of skiers snaking their way down the only bit of snow there is, with green “stuff” to each side. 

[EyesWeldedShut]

AutoGrass en France pourquoi pas?

Or you could buy a load of these in and flog 'em at the airport

[hairnet]

they were saying on the news that the mtb runs were all open instead

go anyway shame to waste it

104s ice racing eep

avoid paris and do reims bern and lausanne on the way down

[Faker]

So I’m for Lyon in the morning… hire car booked… then off to Lans En Vercors.. so I’m going to be hunting for old French chod! Guess who’s packed some PTS clothing?! 😬

[sutty2006]

PTS? Pre Tat Spotting? 

[hairnet]

potato totally sorted

[MrSteve]

If you are in the Vercors, you will be very close to this stash of NSU Ro80s rotting outside the derelict-looking Hotel de Deux Sœurs on the Col d'Arzelier...most recent Streetview is from 2019, but they hadn't moved since the previous drive-by in 2009 so the odds are favourable that they are still there...

There's lots of Grenoble olympics infrastructure in the Vercors to amuse you- old ski jump at Saint Nizier and the abandoned road tunnel at the end of the D218 at the Autrans ski area.

Bon spotting de chod!

[Faker]

Chod spotting in the south of France has been very poor so far…. One Opel Corsa A (nova), one Citroen xsara, one mk1 Clio and one 2CV6 under a tarpaulin…. Where did it all go wrong?! This place used to be full of older chod… and not that terribly long ago!

Update! Another mk1 Clio, one C15 and a Peugeot J9 camper. A Volvo 440/460, and a shed load of Gen1 Twingos.. Oh and an early panda.
