My next shite adventure

[Torsten2001]

In August I am taking this:

To here:

Which looks like this:

In one of these:

Which should be fun!

[Torsten2001]

I would but being an Abath (and not mine) it's bloody load and massively unreliable! It has been suggested though!

[flat4alfa]

If you haven't taken that winding cliff road from La Trinite up, cor, you must you must

 

Set yourself two hours return trip though and take sarnies. And first aid kit.

[Rod/b]

Does it fit between the wheel tubs or have you got to go up-and-over?

 

(or just shove it in the side door )

[ashmicro]

Nutter . Looking forward to your write up.

[dollywobbler]

Disappointing. Thought it was going to be one epic roadtrip!

 

Some 2CVers once took a 2CV in a Merc Sprinter to an overseas meet. There were three of them sitting up front in the van, and they confused the border guards by handing over five passports - two people were sitting in the 2CV! Well, it's hard to get out once you've driven it in...

Thta must be a weird experience, double suspension action in a 2CV in the back of a van...

[R9UKE]

This just reminded me of these idiots:

 

[hairnet]

[nigel bickle]

A frame in the passenger footwell, for the return journey?

[maxpower]

Turns out I'll be taking his Harley Sportster down too now, obviously I'll be using them when I'm down there....although the Harley really is a dreadful contraption!

 

Nige, I'm far too skint to buy any cars down there but if there's any small freebies I'll shove them in the Trannie!

[nigel bickle]

Whizz round a breakers (-theres a good un just off the main drag north of Ventimiglia).You could get the 127 bits needed,for pence (equivalent!)

[scooters]

Come on vek.....France.....empty van.....costs covered.....ami 6 methinks!

[Torsten2001]

3.40 metres load length, 1.39metres between the rear wheels...a bit restrictive, if there's some bikes however!

I think I know it, just down from the elevated section on the right as you're heading south, a selection of Alfa Juniors, some bikes and a few trucks?

[nigel bickle]

Spot on. Topped up there a couple of times. Freindly & helpful I bought a load of Fiat 1100 bits at silly low prices...

 

Just a thought for anything Eyetalian you might have lurking down there...

 

Find a little Y10 turbo or summat- you' ll pay for the trip with it..

Most Japanese Kei cars will fit perfectly!

or a 126, or a Mochet, a Rovin, a Rolux or even an Inter. I'm sure you could find a decent WIllam too, or maybe a New Map Solyto.

[Torsten2001]

Alas I have something eating into all my funds so despite the amazing opportunity I think the Tranny will return empty!

 

Besides, those darned Europeans have an over inflated idea of value I've found!

 

Although I may return to that scrappy as they had a fine selection of shite motorcycles!
