    I hope you're friendly with the tech inspector.
    That looks nice by the way.

    Si t'es en CGC non, à moins qu'ils rechangent d'avis. Perso j'aime pas les CGC et espère ne jamais en avoir.
    We're talking about tech inspection and collector registration.
    Excuse our French.:D

    A mon avis la CGC va devenir obligatoire pour nos ancetres! ce qui serait logique en meme temps! Ils vont finir par se debarr***er des vieilles CG de plus de 25 ans!
    Oui la Vedette est en CGC.. pas la 404.

    Very nice build, first time today I have seen it.

    I'm allowing myself to be a little amused, as now in France there is a custom with "Good Times" on it; I guess I should have our local saying "Laissez faire les bon temps rouler!" on my Pontiac somewhere to redress the balance...!

    Traditionally styled (by U.S. standards) customs can't be all that common in France...or Europe, in general. I imagine this beauty garners a lot of curious stares out on the road!
