Re: Nogaro Classic Festival
I visited the Classic Festival at Nogaro race circuit this weekend. It was a great weekend and I had my Citroen 2CV AZU and my Renault 4L (Renault towed the Citroen) there. There was a rally on the saturday afternoon mixing it up with the Porches and Ferraris out on the small roads of the Gers. I even managed to overtake a V8 Chevvy as its big American bulk could not handle the tight corners of the hairpins - great fun
Plus - I had my FIRST EVER drive of a Traction and it was the same year and model as the mine. M Didier Souslikoff from Atelier des Vielles Bielles was there with his Traction Sans Frontiers and my darling wife was cheeky enough to ask him if I could have a drive. He was more pleased than I was.
It was so smooth and nothing like I expected but then I have been driving 2CVs and our 4L for the past few years. I loved it and look forward to when mine will be finished.
He had done some of the modifications that I plan to do also, like the Alternator, Electric fan and if I had known he had also put on 175/16 tires on his standard rims......
Here I am having a go plus the only other Traction at the Festival in which there were well over 600 vehicles. I like the DS next to it too, hard to believe that was the follow on model from the Traction, no slight differences back then, just fall on change
