france 2010 (no last tango in paris though!)

Post by surfcarrot » Fri Aug 13, 2010 10:36 pm

Went to france in tango... canterbury, tunnel, nr rouen, below la rochelle, loire/samaur, nr le crotoy, tunnel, whitstable, derbyshire home. 1700 miles, broken speedo, leaking fuel cap, expensive beer & tolls & tunnel, well everything really. loved every minute except the centre of amiens at rush hour searching blindly for the aire til i cracked and told the satnav to get me out of here! learnt some french... sur le plage (that's it i'm afraid)

ANYWAY PICS...

Cracking pics. Looks like you had warmer weather than us...and less serious faults! You don't really
need a speedo anyway!
...unless you meant swimware malfunction! :lol:

Roland will like the Dennis!

Great pics!

Yes, I like the Dennis! Not to forget the Dutch Merc (ZIEGLER!). It obviously had a front pump once judging from the remaining lamp on the bonnet. Ages ago I used to drive that kind of vehicle whilst working casually for a wholesale bakery.

They also had two T2bs, the very first time I drove one, an initial spark ... :idea:
