That's excellent, made me chuckle 
Do they think many food writers drive Lamborghini's?
I walk down there from the hotel and I'm not the most sophisticated looking bloke in the world, it was the pictures for pistonheads that did it, I took a pic of each course, must've got them thinking! Do they think many food writers drive Lamborghini's?

Wow Brad! Great thread, I can just imagine the Del Boy French , "horses doovers mercy boocup" ha ha.
Looks like you've managed fine with the language barrier though and enjoying trying.
You've got a few years on me so not done with the working hard bit yet, but a journey like that sounds like a plan for my future, god sparing. Not so sure about being on my own however, been a husband and father for so long I've forgotten what it's like.
Your old chariot is awesome by the way, it's well cared for here.
Oh my word just look at that gorgeous piece of metal, why did I ever sell it! Please give it back to me Corinthian, have a heart man! Looks like you've managed fine with the language barrier though and enjoying trying.

So pleased you're having fun with her mate, she looks stunning. Give us all some stories of driving her on those beautiful secluded Scottish roads, pics aren't enough we want first hand info!
And be careful because Jasandjules is on the thread and I know this is the car he lusts after, he's a clever bugger and will be laying plans as we speak.

If you can play the guitar well and with that car you won't be alone for long. 
Is that a proposition Wills? I'm Aquarius, non smoker, have a good sense of humour and enjoy long walks in the country and rough backdoor action.

I'm enjoying reading your blog very much - look forward to a proper catch up mister.
Glad to see you're enjoying the car and enjoying the glory of warm summer days. In the nicest possible way, stay away longer!
edit: your thread makes me want to take my plastic car and do the very same. There is something very appealing about open roads and your own company. No guitar though, I gave mine away to a thoroughly decent chap who now caresses it better than he would some 20 year old blonde nutty French wench
Enjoy!
Hello mate. I think you would thrive on the reflective nature of a solo road trip, but if you want some company to assist you on ripping up the french countryside just give me a shout. Glad to see you're enjoying the car and enjoying the glory of warm summer days. In the nicest possible way, stay away longer!

Can't wait to see the beast in all her finery. If we do go road tripping you'll spend most of your time pulled over waiting for me to catch up!

Not for sale so tough luck, it's mine now!
Awesome power and a real privilege to own and drive these sorts of cars, done two thousand miles, fifteen hundred were for no useful reason , just an excuse to make a noise and tear up some tar.
Ha! And that's exactly how it should be! Well done mate, love her and thrash her! Awesome power and a real privilege to own and drive these sorts of cars, done two thousand miles, fifteen hundred were for no useful reason , just an excuse to make a noise and tear up some tar.

Everything felt right, there was no better place on earth to be. The car was alive with light and thunder and I was laughing out loud like an idiot for the sheer joy of it.
I've done this. Took a weird route on the way to work to avoid boredom and discovered an amazing little country lane. My car is only worth what a service would cost on yours, but it felt amazing just snicking it up the road and back again, not a soul around at 5am in Hampshire. Don't get that very often!HereBeMonsters said:

Lovely looking things close up, 5 second car aren't they?
I stepped out on to the balcony earlier to see what the temperature was doing and snapped this:
This is going on constantly, my previous car was a beautiful looking thing and got its share of attention but this thing is another level. As soon as a cab pulls up or new guests arrive they pile out and go straight to the car. I think the council estate white helps draw the attention!
Out in the town now:
Fully expecting to be hammered later so look out for pictures of the gutter or the back of a police car ;-)

Great thread,keep it up....
How long are you "touring" for ?
Paris tomorrow, then probably Rouen then back on Tuesday. Unless Paris is good then I might stretch it out, stayed there last year though and didn't like it, too much dogsHow long are you "touring" for ?
t and too many beggars. Mind you I should get some good car spots in Paris.
Me to, the thought that a friend is having a great time thrashing the beating heart out of his car on a road somewhere tree lined and lovely is one of the best things about the day.
Keep up it mister - need more stories of applauding locals, fine wine, veggie food(if you really must) and you feeling happy with the world, is indeed a good thing
Edit: mind you, looking at the quality of the places you've stayed in and the fuel you're drunk, I think you need to be playing a revised tune
