What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Reckless Rat]

Quite a nice dry, sunny day down here (no salt) so having done my tasks for the day I decided to get the RP out and give it an airing. Had a nice drive round the northern end of the Gard and into the Ardèche and back, around 35 miles in total.

On the border between the two departments, between St Ambroix (Gard) and St Paul le Jeune (Ardèche) is a popular tourist spot, the caves of "La Cocalière". Entry to the site is via a roundabout on the main road which also gives access in the opposite direction to the village of Courry. For a number of years there's been an old Peugeot 403 parked on top of some rocks at the side of the roundabout, not publicising the caves but directing you to a nearby restaurant.



After pausing to take some pics I carried on to St Paul le Jeune and then turned right towards St André de Cruzières to see if the Peugeot 203 pick up was still there outside the stone-yard. (See first post on this thread). Yes, it's still there and looks no worse for wear and remarkably free from vandalism. The bonnet was open and the engine etc is still there!





I then tootled through St André de Cruzières into St Sauveur de Cruzières and then cut back south towards St Victor de Malcap and Back to St Ambroix & then home.



Traffic was terrible, as per usual.

Merry Christmas everyone
Bonne fêtes!
