Took the RP out for its first run after doing the "big one" last month. Went to the Pole Mecanique in Ales where they have a classic car get together on the first sunday of the month. This was the first one since the summer break and there were a lot more cars than I think the organisers expected. I got the last place and at least twenty more cars turned up after me and ended up having to park on the road outside. There would have been room if they hadn't given access to some modern stuff from the 80s and 90s, but that's the French for you. My pal Phil turned up in his series 2 E type drophead which should have attracted a lot of attention, but unfortunately they parked him next to a GT40, which although it looked good was just a kit car. The gawpers probably weren't aware of that.
