That's one of the reasons why Porsche amators are coming back to older and classics: pleasure , look, sensations with less, not without ) but less risks to be Flashed ...[/quote]


Yeah I think they have some great shots of us lot on the way down to Le Mans

Driving back from Biarritz last year, my wife managed to get flashed seventeen times The Genderme were far too busy to actually pull a lady in a sports car over

Mercifully, any fine or points given in France doesn't yet apply to us in the UK - won't be long before Europe catches us all up

Do you know Cassis, near Marseille: the most beautiful port of the french riviera !! http://www.cassis.fr

If somme of 911 2.0S are coming here, without flashing of course , i can assure a very good bed for those...and of course, very good driving days !!

I've been saying this for years it will come, but as 80% of Brits don't drive over in Euroland they are not bothered so any law changes will be easy to put though as there will be no one in number to vote against it..

But unless they are going to put a change to the signs and the MPH to KM's I can't see it is going to be that easy.. Human rights and all that.

I thought our government had already signed an agreement with a private collection agency which will allow them to collect foreign based fines?

Being a private agency there is every likelyhood of bailiffs being called it to collect

I have sent you a PM.

Bonjour Ricou!

I know Cassis well, or used to..

An old fishing village ate the eastern end of the series of inacessible rocky fijords made famous as smuggling villages..

Chrchill painted the harbour ...

My wife and small son lived in the Eastern outskirts of Marseilles almost thirty years ago for three memorable months.

The place was axccessible by the coast road then..a series of fine sweeping bends punctuated by hairpins: the R5's and 2CV's of the day sqealed like pigs...

I had a BMW 1600..a fine handling car which never failed to flatter my drifting..and retruned over 50mpg driven carefully..

I was very frindly with the prorietor of the local vineyard..Domaine de Bandol.

One Dr. Christian Boutin, a truly gifted dilettante who drove a 911S Targa to work in Marseilles Centre Cancereuse every day.

I recall many meals cooked and eaten al fresco, burning the vine trimmings to flavour the meat.

Happy days.

Post a price for the carbs, and maybe some pictures..I'm sure many will be interested.

IMHO these have some advantages over ebers, and I can help source the parts to set them up for differnet engines too..

Kind regards
David

Hi David,

what a wonderful postreply for me...!!

I'm a young man (32 years old) but i always spent my time in Cassis. As you can see i'm loving old cars, and very intereted by 1955 - 70' years.

My grand father and mother were still living in Cassis, so maybe you meet Lucien, my grand father was working at the hotel " Les Roches Blanches ". He was a famous people of those years Cassis' life.

I'm very very happy to read your post. Cassis didn't change a lot anymore compared to other french riviera Cities, the charm of the city has been conserved.

The domain of Bandol, is not in Cassis (of course), so i don't know your contact.

I hope you will visit us again, why don't doing it next summer, with a Porsche of course...?

Hah!

My memory is failing..what is the local wine denomination please?

Which Hotel is that..I may recall it?

We did enjoy the odd Pastis of an evening ...

Kind regards
David

I think that the local wineyard was "La Ferme Blanche", or maybe "Bodin" sell by Mr Bontoux ...does it remind you something?
