Those wind deflectors are massive! Much bigger than the wee ones on my Vectra.

 

All it needs is one of those long aerials, pinned back onto the roof guttering, to go with it.

[VWPowered]

i think it'll need abit more than that first, like a windscreen

12th Century Church

 

 

Chateau Lavauguyon - The XIIth century Lavauguyon Château belonged to the Malessac family natives of Poitou. Ransacked by the mercenaries of Richard the Lionheart, it was rebuilt in XIVth century.

 

The broad, deep moat which surrounds the castle could be emptied and filled at will.

 

Lavauguyon Château marks the border of Poitou and Limousin, giving it an important military role. It was devastated and ransacked in the revolution of 1793. has been abandoned since

[VWPowered]

ive seen the camper many times but never with camera, was amazing am in love with it and really need one parked outside the house

[Torsten2001]

That garage with the Taxi parked out the front, is that right next to a small Avia petrol station with a bar attached? I think I filled up there when I was over on my bike!

[VWPowered]

hi torsten its here

[Torsten2001]

My word! That's exactly the place, I was on my way from Montelimar to Chef Boutonne on RN's and I needed fuel, and there it was, Garaged Cole or Coleman. It was the Elan station up the road, I asked for a receipt and went into the office which was next to the kitchen & it was swarming with flies, ran by an old couple with a small bar attached.

What a small world!
