Well done both of you! A great read, marvellous pic's.

 

Amazing what's still around in France, glad our kids are now old enough that we can start taking holidays there again. They get used to my frequent stops...

What great photos. Looks like fantistic fun. My mate has been prattling on for years about driving over to Le Mans in an old barge and this is making me think it might be a good idea.

 

Do it! A few years ago I went "5-up" to Le Mans for Euro Citro, in my Citroen GSA Estate, and had a fantastic time (including a convoy round the circuit). We were taking it easy on the trip back, having a leisurely lunch, trying to drive economically, when we realised we were short of time to get to the ferry and I had to "get on with it" ... and arrived with about 20 minutes to spare!!

 

It's about time I took a Citroen back across France again- it's been too long. What lovely roads they have.

 

Mark.

That's the Autoshite dream, right there. Excellent work sir! And it's even brown, how Shite does it get! I love a scrapyard, the sort of place you can wander for months with a camera... just the sort of place you found. Perfect. You need to take it back to Paris for the chick shots though, I'm sorry, has to be done...

Fair play what a fantastic thread. Hats off to you chief.

Holy shit Nick what’s this place? Best turn around sharpish…

 

I've been past here a few times - it's on the way to my other half's parents place.

 

Top reporting, boss

What an awesome report/trip and car. Again showing us all how it can and should be done.

 

As others have said, living the fucking dream.
