I think Brian was really talking about pictures of self and family. You can be anyone you like on the internet so long as you don't post pics of yourself. I would find it very hard to keep up the pretence of being a 22 year old glamorous model. Only my closest friends know I'm actually 35. BTW...

The paint codes tend to be stencilled onto the front face of the RH inner wing. A three number code. Some cars included the number on the oval chassis plate on the bulkhead. There have been a few previous posts about finding the right colour white. Do a search for 'paint codes' and see if...

Our Blanche is snug in the garage just now. She'll be out and about when she gets a new head gasket. But Uncle Claude has been out skiing today.

With reference to the thread above, we use Elbow Grease for our R4.

I thought everyone had a furry animal to do the repairs. We even lend our Uncle Claude out. Here he is working on Malcolm's Ermintrude. Don't let Malcolm kid you that he does all his own repairs. :smile:

What a nice surprise to find in my postbox today! I found a lovely CD with an artistic label and a lovely euro. Thank you so much Ian. You are such a sweetie.

Yes, but the crunch comes when you have an accident and you find you can't claim any insurance.

Anna, I'm puzzled as to how you manage to live in Bath with a French reg car with French insurance but no CT. Makes owning a car quite cheap!

Would you believe it Ian but we are going to a Burns Supper in Chardonnay this year!

Oh ye of little faith! This chap might be an avid R4 car restorer, you never know. He's got good feedback ratings, "Alles gut", but you would think he could find a wreck nearer home. So keep an eye out for it. I bet £320 next time.

Thanks for your congratulations, Ian. Little does Malcolm know but I've been posing as a Hungarian and when Malcolm is in a good mood I'm planning to leave the car with him to do up. But don't tell him!

And here's me thinking that this was some advanced sort of computering especially designed to restrict Ian to one line!! I reckon the car will go for £520. Malcolm, doesn't it make you glad you got Ornella instead.

Doh! They don't go shooting pheasants in France, do they? Wild boar are much more fun. It was the frost that deceived me - it's been minus ten here most mornings. BTW Ian, I wish you'd drive more carefully!

Wonderful pictures, Pepper. James will be able to show his grandchildren what life in rural France was like in the olden days!

Happy New Year to everyone. Are you old enough to remember 'Alfred Hitchcock presents' on the TV where it starts with Hitchcock stepping into his silhouette? Well this is Claude the Van as the frost is melting off the gate in the sunshine.

Hi Ian, thanks for your New Year's Greetings. We can see Mont Blanc from here on a nice day. I'll look out for you and give you a wave! :D

Just trying to make you a well-rounded person, Pepper. :D

Can't read either then! But I suppose a question mark is a step in the right direction.

Thanks, Ian. Even the odd full stop and capital letter would be a vast improvement. :D

Call me old fashioned but is punctuation obsolete these days?
