How about a number for a French chiropractic after a week in the 4C...or C4 as your copilot calls it.
Many true words spoken in jest! Think I'll take this bad boy out the van.....carbon dip & a 4c logo and I recon I'd sell a few too!IMG_1881.JPG
C4?! I'll have a word, it's fairly quick but I wouldn't describe it as explosive!

Well, 10hrs detail yesterday on the Strad in preparation for a splattering of French buys, bread throwing in the interior and whatever inclement weather the Frenchies deem necessary:

Looks good, just an issue/tip - I always keep a dirty bucket on job and put all my used microfiber / drying towels etc in - if they hit the floor they generally go in bin - or for use on the other cars...

Mine go in the washing machine.

Matt - good job!

Breakdown cover ordered, got a new battery for the Sanef toll tag just in case as Ive had it 3 years now.

What sort of breakdown are you considering? Automotive or mental? The latter is justifiable organising this lot...

Weather looks pretty good now. The forecast of early in the week rain has come forward and so it looks like the worst of it will be before we really get going. If this is correct, the temperature is bang on, last year was a bit on the hot side at the circuit. Nice by the pool though!

Just checked Euro breakdown. I used Compare the Meerkat for a change and it's offering an Axa policy for only £30.70 that seems decent. RAC is £67.94 in comparison. Any sensible reason why I can't choose Axa provided the cover levels are broadly similar? Assuming they both have to use a local company's actual network of trucks and repair staff etc anyway? I usually choose RAC but I wonder if that's just a familiarity thing.

The difference is, immediate repatriation or it gets collected within 28 days on a low loader with all the other broken Le Mans cars.

Read the small print.
