A drive through the countryside

Following on from Fridays post we took our 2CV France 3 to meet a few others, once the heavy rain had stopped that is!!

The event was well attended.

We had not been there that long when things started to happen... A convoy was lining up!

Glad Elizabeth caught the back of this van...
 All I can say is "I want one"

We ran (walked) back to ours and tagged on the end, with totally no idea where they were going.
We got waves and thumbs up from many of the locals
We even did some grass tracking
2CV's as far as the eye could see...
Where did they end up...

A goat's cheese farm... I don't eat cheese anymore and as Elizabeth does not care for Goat cheese we continued on our way, back home for a coffee...

CONGRATULATIONS!!
You are no longer 2CV virgins...
you have been on your first convoy!!

What's more....
it was a mystery convoy...
mystery to you that is...
well done!

And Colin, an Acadiane like that white one will probably cost more than your Beachcomber...
if you want a 2CV van...
you'd be looking at double!!

More fun, and equally useful, would be a Weekender...
2CV van with windows all along the side...
folding rear seat allows for either all goods, or passengers and goods....
rare as hen's teeth but so much easier to see out of!!

There were "Weekender'd" Acadianes as well...
although a bit rarer, they ain't as pop'lar...
so come cheaper...
around 18K€s at a guess.
So buy a Euromillions ticket now!

Oh, the "Desolé" sticker is available in 2CV silhouette as well...

If it's a 2CV meeting, there has to be mud. Even in Greece there wss mud.

Yes P there was mud I had to clean it off when we got back...

Ahh, that explains a lot. We were on our way to Loudun on the morning of the 3rd, and when we got to the chocolate orange roundabout, I had to stop and let what seemed like dozens of 2CVs go past from the Braslou turn. I wondered where they all came from, now I know why. Thanks Colin.
