Infrastructure in France belongs to the top of the world, although it always surprise me when You leave the toll road sections how dirty and un-maintained freeway’s and roads are some times , in a country with such large unemployment… crazy idea… put people to work maybe?
First stop was undoubtedly at our friends PP & Sylvie from Vintage Import fame, it was 5 years or so since I was here…. so cool shop…
Big Boss PP (BBPP that is) gave me a cool sunday afternoon cruize in his recently acquired 15window type 4 powered bus. While Sylvie prepared our “gateau de pommes”…. yammie!
Beautiful day….. beautiful ride!
France is full of old buildings, small old towns and fun things to watch…
and back to the shop… sorry no picture from the “gateau de pommes”…(this means apple pie!) but it tasted really yammie good! Vintage Import is mainly a car dealer with a nice workshop and especially a real cool expression! some pictures for You… pay them a visit… Limoges is a real cool area , around 375 km south of Paris
Sylvie & PP thanks for everything… I enjoyed a real wonderful afternoon!
and now up to the next stop… not too far, but we have to find a place to sleep….
To be continued…stay tuned….:)

The rubbers on the inlet manifold of dual port engines needs to be proper clamped to prevent false air coming through and gives you a lot of problems with idle and mileage (consumption) So we got this perfect “full circle” clamps that looks very closely like stock (for You concourse buffers…:)) and they do the job perfectly, after many years where happy we found a serious solution. This is what we use in our workshop and on our own cars…. a perfect solution!
