BX Club Forum

Hi Caffiend

it seems the link does not go anywhere
I just apologize not having translated it for you : maybe it would have been more interesting
even inside the room an explanation or history of each model could have been interesting : I would have done it but it was not that easy ……………
In fact The man said more or less the same thing than in Paul's movie

Don't worry about it Chris, I think it would be unfair to expect an English tour in a French factory! I couldn't follow much of it but I watched the film instead and just picked up the odd word here and there.

/\ We just all need to learn French. I'm going to get some spoken word CD's to play in the truck. Learn French and drive a truck. It's the future of adult education.

I feel really guilty now like I'm one of those dreadful English people who expect everyone to speak English. . . . .I'll get my coat (slopes off)

A little story or the historic ( history why not ? ) in front of each car and suddenly the density , the color of the tour is something else …
I just remember the sparrow fly just after I had translated you can go wherever you wished
I could not catch up only one sparrow
But it was a great pleasure to watch that sort of thing

Just a few of the many pictures taken over the weekend.







Mk1 AX Sport - one of the few cars that could tempt me away from the BX










Just a few bikers in Boulogne on Sunday morning . . .


The line was just as long going the other way too!!


Coming home after a fab weekend

Nice pics Andrew. The 'Aubergine' looking particularly lovely there .

Cheers I was under strict orders not to give it the beans and play catch up with you and Sandre on the motorway

It seems the Aubergine does not want to get back home again

But TZDs LOVE 'beans'!

None of us wanted to go back home again.

+3 (or 4, I've lost count) - I've corrected the link as well, stupid autocorrect ;p

*snigger* - I was driving at legal speeds! (just)

You know if your counter was indicating around 130 on the motorway you weren't at legal speed

And even more illegal if it was wet! (says me having been fined by les flics in my GS on the Tour Auto!)

Just a quick note to those there who wondered, yes the black GSA Pallas A395 CPH was the same as the one that went to the CXM Rally sporting a nice big dent. It had a new door for the Paris trip. (I thought it was, Tim lol! )

I stand corrected Phil, Grant did tell me about the incident, some lady driver not watching where she was going....
