Well heres "Team Pink"s offering, the photos REALLY make it look much nicer than it is, the stickers on the roof have more bubbles than an Aero but who cares! Still no blower but will try and fix that tomorrow.

Well I can imagine our initial convoy of 10 Citroëns - including 6 or 7 BXs of which 3 will be valvers - should turn a few heads as we make our way down to our first overnight near Orleans. 8) By the time we finish the event in Epinal there should be another 2 BXs in our ranks - assuming nobody buys a BX Sport en route :wink: :-$

For those staying at Ashford International and may need supplies or fuel there is a 24 hour Sainsburys next door to the Hotel. Alternatively there is a Shell fuel station at junction eleven.

Good luck to you all and have an enjoyable and safe trip.

Here is a photo of my trusty steed, taken just now in typical Welsh weather. As you can see I've really gone to town with the prep! (I do have a couple of sticker to put on if/when it dries out...)
