Shite Spotting Cycle Ride Through Middle of Nowhere, France


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have somehow found myself cycling through a good chunk of South/-Eastern France, starting in Le Puy today and eventually making it down to Montpellier over the next week or so.

Naturally this is a great opportunity to look at some shite in the French countryside. Starting with today (Le Puy to Saint Privat d'Allier). Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of the Phase 1 Safrane I saw in traffic today right at the start, or the Fiat X1/9.

A surprising amount of Renault 4s in the area, this guy had his priorities right:

These were all close to the same compound:

Above apparently a 324td, what else would it be in France.

Second XM, used as parts car:

Also saw a business with an Audi V8, W126 and 80s BMW 5/7 on my way down here yesterday.

A bunch of 405s (one completely overgrown) and plenty of 205s I won't even bother taking a photo of as there will be too many.

What will we spot tomorrow? Stay tuned!

Not all that many spots today, only 19 miles through mostly deserted mountain roads and the occasional village.

However, I did spot the Renault Safrane I was waiting to find, and not only that but in the same color as the one I had before, plus possibly a V6 spec'd one, too! Similar to mine it has two different trim level badges on the doors.

Bonus points for whoever can figure out what special addition AX this is without having to look it up. I bet these wheel trims are worth a fortune to the right buyer.
