And those yellow headlamps - always made French cars look a little special, not sure if it actually gave better light, given that we no longer see it I’ll attribute it to “frenchness”

Yellow lights are proven to be less tiresome on eyes than the white halogen.

hence yellow lenses in day time driving/riding glasses?
not sure they light up the road so well so assume that's why they went the way of the VCR?

If you are heading back to Weston Phil, call into Cambridge near Dursley.

There is a road there called Dursley Road (now bypassed by the A38) where you will see a few old frenchy cars that used to be in a Citroën specialist garage now turned into a industrial unit.

No idea how they have not been towed away by the DVLA as they will have no MOTs or TAX. There was a XM and a Traction and a BX.

Recently been talking to the local Alfa fans here about the days when Alfa were the best engineered and most stylish cars on the planet but I had to remind them that the French weren't far behind like this Delahaye 135MS

Theres a red one which is almost exactly the same as that near a friends house near me. Keep meaning to take a picture, but only remember after I've driven past.
They also have an Alfa Sud on the drive a well. Which is clearly a project.

I honesty don't know if that is good or bad...not au fait with Tinder (or Grinder!).

The female equivalent would be all natural at 20 but with a trout pout, boob job, fake tan and tattoos by the time she's 25....you know me I'm not one for superficial modifications...
