lesapandre Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 Bluesummer - it's electric. I first thought it a kit car - but it is a brand (sold by PSA apparently). Very chiq. Limited range I understand from the discussions I had - more a town/beach car. Overall a lot of electric cars about. A Jaguar X-Type in the background. Seen a few of those.

lesapandre Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 Travels over. It's a windy night in Calais - we may have a choppy crossing. 933 miles to this point. Apart from a couple of new tyres I had fitted this trip the Mercedes has been big problem free - the drivers electric window sticks, the sun roof has become reluctant and the front suspension has developed a squeak but nothing to hold up progress. Hope you enjoyed that scamper around the French auto scene. Spottedlaurel, doug, djim and 9 others 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Everybody's going to France this year! You can tell, actually: the roads are full of Brit-registered cars. Of course where I am, and this week being half-term, might have something to do with that. @lesapandre: thank you! It's been tres jolie! lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
