Re: Citroën Classic Challenge 2015
If anybody could kindly bring some known good front spheres ( ideally 16V type) along with them, I would like to do an experiment on my car one evening.
thanks,
Mike

Re: Citroën Classic Challenge 2015
Can I just wish you all a brilliant trip, and I'm really disappointed not to make it this time
Actually, scrub that, hope you have a rubbish time without me!
I'm sure it'll be very enjoyable if it's anything like previous years; have fun and good luck!

Re: Citroën Classic Challenge 2015
Afraid so. I've taken a bit of a gamble job-wise; I think it's for the best but at the moment I'm not sure what will happen come November. Less holiday too, which I have to admit was one of the benefits of the last one! So I'd have to choose between a 'family' holiday and this trip, whereas previously I was able to squeeze both in.
My old company is closing in October, so looks like I got out at the right moment anyway!

Re: Citroën Classic Challenge 2015
Got back, all safely, and all in all satisfied... It certainly lived up to its Challenge name.

Re: Citroën Classic Challenge 2015
Are there any other Challengeurs out there who can post up something. Piccies maybe. So that I can enjoy it vicariously.Philip Chidlow wrote:Got back, all safely, and all in all satisfied... It certainly lived up to its Challenge name.

Re: Citroën Classic Challenge 2015
I'll see what I can do shortly but bear with me as it wasn't a good time to be away from work and I've a lot of catching up to do... And gardening and BX repairs! Otherwise life is a bit of an anti-climax at the moment not being able to drive around France.Jaba wrote:Are there any other Challengeurs out there who can post up something. Piccies maybe.

And finally a link to my photos in Dropbox, assuming this works: https://www.dropbox.com/l/ZG5OIyfUbN7zZDFMjV50jqTim Leech wrote:Come on chaps, I cant wait to see the pictures!!
I'm afraid that there are rather more architectural and railway photographs than those of cars which reflect my work and hobby interests.
