It's funny but the right-hand front wheel on the 2CV doesn't look right to me.

Everyone today seems to know what stuff is worth.
Missed out on a few bargains by just not being quick enough.
Far less rust on stuff here which is a bonus.

An old friend back for a spanner check now it's done a few weeks back on the road from recommissioning.

Yep, still looks like a spanner.

PS nice bush.

Could do with a trim, IMHO

I cut the bush back last Autumn with the chainsaw and it's come back with a vengeance full of roses that smell amazing.
I'm no gardener but it's impressive.

What’s the weather like? They’ve been terrible floods in Belgium, Germany, and N France, did you see the video of the Reims.

Yeah I've seen that Global warming aye.
We chose carefully and our part of France gets a nice mix of weather too.
We're on a plateau here in Ballots and no River as much as I enjoy water I don't want flooding.
I have to say the South Mayenne is truly beautiful here in the Pays de Loire.

Pretty well made my mind up on a Renault 16 and this little snippet is nice.

This little old girl turned up at the workshop last week. Lovely cute thing, the mechanics were very impressed with the smoothness of the gear change apparently.

Just have to make them a bit more secure for my insurers but in being here a year I have never locked them.

 

[philw696]

She's going Green.
I'm amazed at how much I have got in there.
When it was on the floor I thought that's 3 loads to do but no job jobbed.
