Company car. Sadly nothing exotic but it's comfortable ace on fuel and I've grown quite attached to it. Shouldn't sticker them up so this subtle decal will have to suffice.

LeMans newbies - father & son team in a heavily modified Fiat Coupe 20VT (without the wedding ribbons...) - lukewarm aircon, firm suspension, juddery organic clutch, 3" exhaust and a couple of huge grins all the way from the Midlands

Where are you staying Nigel? Would be good to see your Coupe.

First-timer here, staying in Beausejour. Please, don't mind the Californian in the US-spec Jetta/Golf mom-wagon with German plates looking totally confused, that's all perfectly normal. Cheers.

Still a work in progress... but here's a first photo of my ride!



It's a 2009 Specialized Allez Sport with full 9sp tiagra bought approx 1yr ago to try out cycling. I paid £200 including spesh helmet, spesh shoes, tri-bars and a blackburn mini-pump. Since then over time it's had a new lh shifter (2nd hand), new cassette (old one was a silly 11-23) and a pair of gatorskins. I've covered about 2k km on it.

As of this morning it has approx 1kg insulation tape martini style.

I decided on Tuesday to give cycling over a go, so it's been a bit of a rushed job.This is a thread I'm going to try and update with progress. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
I'm driving down to get the overnight from Portsmouth to Caen tonight.
