Look, I’m far from being the biggest patriot there is. Hell, I even feel more for Europe than I do for France. But I did get woken up by some low-flying jets, so let’s celebrate that day with some cool cars that came out of this country! It’s also a good excuse to post again that magnificent Matra V12 sound:

Top pic isn’t mine

I know, I failed at life. But on the good side, I still have all of my face!

Hi Clemsie, wonderful lens work as usual! And I get to see a type 59!

By the way, with that intro I almost expected a link to Brassens... but worry not, I am certain your reputation is excellent around these here parts.

Ah yes, these! Been meaning to have a go in one for a while. Will probably do a review when it happens!

And of course, totally relevant as it’s French Friday (in a few hours) on LaLD.co :

Haha, I don’t remember. Just that it was like 8 euros! I might have a spare one, I’ve got so many of these! When’s the next Europpomeet, I’ll take it with me ;-)

We’re french. We’re not patriots... We have logic instead. We love our country like we love our family.. This bunch of fuck ups who can’t get their lives together. You’re just normal french, don’t worry. :)

I have no idea, I was waiting for you to tell me and for some pictures of the Be-1 leaving! The Pao is doing great, making friends all over the place.

Just the cold starts can be a bit troublesome. Time for a tune up.

haha, I asked for them to take pictures of it leaving but yeah... Sorry man... You’re like an random girl I met... First time, you get the whole game played just for you and then after you’re like family: nobody gives a fuck anymore :)

But honestly, sorry about that, I’ll look into it. It’s well on its way by now, did you receive the paperwork yet? You should have by now. If not I’ll ask my boss.

I did get the paperwork in this week, no worries there!

That’ll probably be a big part of the review. We need to add a “smell” category to the Oppo Review system!

Oh ok , good, I was a little worried for a sec haha (we do keep an original of the BoL just in case lol.... but still :) )

Very small French FWD coupé from the late ‘50s. Made about 50 odd horsepower through a monster of an engine.

I’m late, and not even French, but might as well use this as an opportunity to photodump French cars from a gallery I found:
