..Its your fault Malcolm..

[Bluebell]

And Bluebell, how are the pumpkins growing?

Ian, refurbishment of the new chateau and the transferring of the retinue has been delayed for the moment. Shall I plant the said pumpkins in pots or is it too late for this year? I should have the gardening staff ready to go for early next season.

Another glorious day in sunny Burgundy. Look what appeared this morning opposite our chateau gates.

WOOOWW...OH i like them! they look nice...i will speak to my dad and try to bribe him lol...
thanks for putting them up! they look fab...

 

[Le Champ]

Errrr........ bubble wrap No. 3 (counting from the left) Petit Vert should be well pleased

..Sorry Malcolm, I only need 4 krappy khandles and a krappy boot khandle - no 'internal gubbins' needed!

Does the boot knandle need to have a key? - Running out of those. Should be able to come up with a set of white door khandles though.

I love the 2CV doctor's coupe. Very cool.

 

[ian Stanbury]

..Nein..

..and nein again - or in english no, the rear knob doesnt need a key but four white khandles would be great but krappy ones please..

..And for your troubles Malcolm, have 500 million Zim dollars

 

[Little Greeney'n'france]

Hellooo, the 2cv coupé, isn't that a Hoffman? dont know if it spelt like that but i think it is.
and how much is 500 000 000 in pounds?

 

[ian Stanbury]

..No one is sure..

..But 500 million Zimbabwean dollars is enough to buy you one of these...

But which 'these'?

 

[claude van rouge]

I think you're right Little Greeney - I found a link to a Hoffman site here:

They look great with the roof down but with the roof up I think they make even the original 2CV look pretty. :eek:

 

[Little Greeney'n'france]

Well, they don't look too bad with the roof off! but there isn't one as pretty as what Bluebell saw! But with the roof up i think it just look Tres bizarre as the French would say...LOL I would have the Renault 4L Plein air any day!

 

[Le Champ]

That 2cv coupe would make a fine, safe Zimbabwean presidential runabout - could make a lot of people happy - he could fill the boot with cash and have enough to buy an ice lolly and the paper bag the young lady's holding in Ian's picture.

 

[ian Stanbury]

..Thats not a paper bag Brian..

..Its a bottle of Moose milk and thats all you could buy with 500 million Zim dollars...assuming you could find a Moose in Zimbabwe of course!!
