G'day Peter ... Chris & I are just back from our OS trip, but ran out of enough time to divert through your neck of the woods, unfortunately. France is such a big country with so much to see.
We'd love to get across to Melbourne to join in your birthday bash, but sadly not possible. Be assured 'though, that there IS life after 50 - in my case 20 years, as I cracked the horrendous SEVENTY while in France.
If, on your way west as you pass through Adelaide, you are welcome to crash here for as little or long a time as suits. We are local number (08)8278 8465 or email onelung@chariot.net.au

Happy & safe travels and a VERY happy 50th!

Hi Viking! Hope you had a fiest in Salbris! Tried to order those LIP shockies from your shop - got a quote for 88 Euros delivery to Australia (isn't that a bit too much?) but the quote was for Monroes in the end anyway! Can you look that up for me and tell me if there are some LIP's left and if there is a better deal on delivery?
Thanks, Ame from Australia

Hi Viking,

I have a 1988 2cv special that needs restoring. Just wondered if you knew anyone who might be able to do it. Main problem is rust in the rear: inner wings, section below number plate and in the plates just in front of the rear wheel behind where the floor ends. Th easiest thing would be to put in a complete new rear section from Club Cassis, but I imagine that would involve taking the body off. Any thoughts? Paul Barry

Hi there from Adelaide, South Australia.
I'm yet to get my '89 Dolly, but it has been "put aside" for me by a very good friend who also has a 1909 Sizaire et Naudin like ours.
His 2CV is one which never saw a winter in the UK, so ... no salt, no rust. I can't wait to get hold of it.
Our '62 Valiant is being sold to finance the Duck, which will then become our shopping trolly.
I'm intrigued by your perfect English (the article on kingpins..superb!) and yet your location is in France. Ou êtes vous, as the saying goes?
I look forward to any further technical items you might post: ... amicalements, Geoff (petite poupée) Chennells
