• Stayed in an Airbnb owned by an ex Citroen WRC test engineer with a great collection of old french cars.

    The blue HY used to be owned by John Malkovich, the Renault 4 is the actual movie car from Rien à Declarer, the Purple CX is a Turbo 2 (and I think I want one), not pictured is a green HY which is his campervan, a yellow Mihari, and an Avantime.

    The green sports car is a Caravelle (I'd never even heard of one or seen a picture of one, let alone seen one in real life).

    The Z3 is a very special one of one Individual factory build for a rich German owner he bought it off. Z3M chassis, 2.8 engine, custom body styling, 3 piece wheels, special exhaust, slightly different interior, and all exactly as they built it at the factory!!

  • That’s a lovely little holiday bonus, great haul of rare cars.

    If you don’t mind me asking, did you get double figures mpg out of the VRX with having bikes on top too?

  • Yeah but I drove mostly at 110kph on cruise control and you can drive for miles and miles without ever having to adjust your speed so I really eaked out the best possible mpg tbh. There were plenty of times when I was without bikes on the roof where I could properly enjoy some of the French roads but there's no point doing a long slog on a Peage at 130-140kph just to save 20 mins.
