I fitted new control arm bushes to the o/s arm and refitted it. The car is now turned around and waiting for the n/s to be done.

We must have missed each other by hours, Clive.

Stephen (defianty) and I drove all the way across France (Vannes-Rennes-Le Mans-Chateaudun-Reims) yesterday.
Plotting a route to eschew autoroutes, we made it almost all the way using B roads.

Having overnighted in Reims, we head to Spa today, then hit the Nurburgring tomorrow.

...We should meet up at the OGP!

By the way, I know we’ve seen a zillion photos of the Reims grandstands by now, but it sure is atmospheric at sunrise:

Doesn’t matter how many times those grandstands appear in photos they are still awesome.

Indeed, been a very long time since I stopped there, maybe 40 years now.

Road still looks 'To infinity and beyond'

Calendar shot contender imho.

I finished the control arm rebushing today. It's now ready for tracking and blast around the mountain roads on Tuesday.
