Hi everyone
While on a work placement in France, I've been introduced to the Quatrelle by a colleague who drives a very well-loved specimen around town. So I realised that I really want one of these machines, and what's more, I want to enter the 4L Trophy while I'm still eligible (2 more years a student).
So before I return from France at the end of May, I'm going to buy a car in good enough condition to drive back to my base in Bath, where I'll re-register it with British plates and make all the repairs and modifications necessary to get it across the desert in one piece.
Since neither I nor my co-pilot are expert mechanics, I imagine we'll be spending a lot of time on this forum fishing for advice!
Incidentally, if anyone fancies some second-hand parts from leboncoin.fr or ebay.fr at the end of May, I could probably pick them up for you if they are along my route.
