    Good spot on the Amazon - I've driven a good few thousand miles in France at this stage and never once spotted one.

    I've been here 60 hours and I've not seen any; although the car stock here is much older than back home. No camera to hand in the car but I saw a Citroen DSpecial and a VW 181 (I think it was) at the Utrecht Spoorsmuseum early today...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,546 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    Good shots. Really want to go see Oradour sur Glane sometime, as aerial shots of it, with some great dialogue from Larry Olivier feature brilliantly at the start of the World at War series.

    Interesting that some old cars survive there, and that old Renault sign. Adds to the terrible story and eeriness of what happened there. It's good that it remains there for all to see.

    VWPoered, were all those cars for sale or were they just a random collection?

    Some of them look in restorable condtion... but not for much longer
