Excellent news, there was me thinking I was the only loopy fruit bat round here!
:lol:

Right I suppose I better get my French head on and head over to the French forums and see what's going on over there

I had the 2011 meeting in France in my mind since the first 4L International. It has to be something special. If all is OK by then, I will drive my white '75 Export to France, and it will be a first class chance to meet all you there!

 

[Bobble]

yes count me in, should have Rosalie all spruced up and resprayed by then.

 

[pepper]

Ok it looks like 4l international are going to be announcing the dates for the 3rd International meeting this coming weekend!

Hopefully we should then know when it is, my guess would be the middle of July.

The French do not do anything in August as they are all on holiday, and we all know that meetings like this are meant to be taken in work time don't we

I'd place bets (and hope) that its around the 16-17 July or the weekend after, if its around that time I may even get my darling wife to come with me

 

[pepper]

Oh if anyone wants to keep up, then the best place to be looking will be here;

[pepper]

Renault4mad, lives down your way, he's already said he's going to renew his passport so he can travel through England.

Though I hear that his preferred mode of transport is very rough ferry journeys

The sticker quote will need to be "my other car is going to be a Renault 4".

I have a friend who can sort this out

 

[reggie]

[mike4gtl]

all you need is now then is good tin work (like the rest of us)

 

[pepper]

I wouldn't call BB's tin work "good"


Very used, dented and rusty maybe more appropriate ;
