I am so mad on my new interest in R4's that .........I have gone and bought another. I bought it from a very nice chap in Paris called Manuel Fernandes who with his family are fanatical FC Porto fans!! I left home to catch the TGV to Paris at 9 o'clock and got to the nice suburb called Acheres in the North West Paris at 2pm - A 5 hour trip.
After the usual formalities of talking football with his family he put me on the A12 for home at 3pm and wished me well for the return trip. I got caught up in a torrential downpour for over one and a half hours travelling at 50 kph. Once it cleared I put my foot down and reached the magic speed of 120kph all the way home to Western France and arrived at 9.
So, Paris by TGV - 5 hours. Return trip by R4 - 6 hours, so I think you will all agree that if I had got up to 120kph immediately, it would have been quicked by R4!!!
Viva FC Porto!!!
Here are some snaps of my 'new' speed machine!!
