Normandy

No progress for the last week or so, I was on holiday in Normandy for 10 days. It does mean I have the best part of this week off work to play with the car though!

There was very little sign of Seven's except what looked like a blue Caterham in Saint-Valery sur Somme on the way back, and only the odd Renault 4 van or 2CV in terms of other classics.

Assuming the Zero will clear the Eurotunnel carriage boarding ramps northern France is a stunning area to drive/tour; 80mph limits on motorways/dual carriageways & 60mph through the country roads with very little traffic even in the height of summer.
