Here in Canada...
I can't remember the last time I saw a British Car on the road save for Rolls' and Jags, and newer ones at that. I had a '76 TR-6. I think the biggest problem here anyway, is a serious lack of *actual* mechanics who know how to work on them, so they've all gone to the auto graveyard I guess. I can only assume that in England, there's probably still a fair number of mechanics as compared to modern day 'technicians'.
QUESTION: What to do at a long traffic light

I had a Europa first, but had the bad sense to sell it. Then I managed to have all these 3 at once. But then had the good sense to sell the Caterham 7. Now I am back to 2 red sportscars, 2 blue dependable cars, 3 quirky French cars, and my trusty Corvair ...
Each Time I see a Lotus
I become crazy... Since the " Prisonner" and the Super 7, till Emma Peel's Elan, and this Elan II, wowowow, shivering each time I see one. Thanks a lot for these pics... You made may rainy day a shiny one. Nicolas
You're NOT a normal Frenchman are you?
I somehow get this vibe that your are unusual for a Frenchie. You like "The Prisoner", Lotus cars and Emma Peel....hmmm.....well - Diana Rigg in a wet-look cat suit - I can understand. You are French after all ! But "The Prisoner"? That's deep....... Rega...
LOL, MTF
Normal, I don't know, that so relative... But French, yes... All my childhood... Best. Nicolas
NOTICE OIL PRESSURE AND WATER TEMP, O YE OF LITTLE FAITH
Whoops, I guess I was shouting. Yes, of course it was running. It runs well, not even hot since I've spent ages debugging the cooling. I've been known to drive almost anything, anywhere. Here's one of my 2CVs, a 4x4, in Yorkshire. Mike...

we have technicians in California to fix our foreign cars

That's pretty funny and must have been quite a moment.
What prompted the drive from Toronto? I ask as I've done a few long road trips recently - one from LA to Detroit (with my father) and back via Canada and the west coast of the US. Another one from LA to Key West for Christmas. And one from El Salvador to ...
Jocke, do NOT look at this picture...
I don't need to hear about my rear wheel bearings again! Lol...
