Where are you off to Gary?
It will be hot in that lovely 911 unless you have air-con!

Nice article Gary.

This is such a great 911. It would be fantastic if you could get a photo from a suitable vantage point of you going round the Arc de Triomphe amongst all the mundane traffic.

Have a great trip!

Regards
Mike

Great article. I stupidly must of walked past your 911 at Mulsanne parking without having a look as Mrs B was impatient to go to lunch

Well we didn’t get up to the Arch, but did absolutely everywhere we could in an hour at sunrise! This wonderful bridge famous from Inception and other films, Place de Concorde, Monmartre, and of course the tower thing.

This is a quick phone edit of the 911 from the Le pont de bir hakeim this morning.
Laptop is going to be busy sorting and editing 500+ pics once I get home.

Fab.
Hope the other 499 will be as good as the above!
Last went (tourist) to Paris about 15 years ago, said we would never bother again!
Hope it has improved.

In the late 80's our Rockwell head office was in Tour Gan, the futuristic business side of Paris, and Tech Dept boffins right on the Peripheric.(sp)
Many an adventure on that road in an SD1. :shock:

First proper edit of one from Sunday in the Montmartre area of Paris. Edit is minimal other than borrowing a less overexposed Sacre Cour from another shot!

Have to give photo credit to my Daughter who took this as I drove down the street :)
