Bonjour à tous

... Oui et elle a de belles armes, je veux parler des sabres et du pistolet bien sûr!

I have been spending hours going over all the photos and videos from the European Tour. I will soon be posting as I get them in some kind of order.

This particular video was posted on the German forum. It makes me laugh every time I view it .

Hi Jack,
I am French (from the Beaujolais area) and I currently live about one hour south of Cleveland OH. I just bought a 1978 S/A vette and I enjoy every moment I take it out for a spin.
If you happen to pass by my area (Amish Country), I'll be very honored to meet with you!

Salut Alec, je suis né dans un petit bled à coté du Tréport, ça serait pas dans ton coin par hasard?

Non, Sud Picardie,45km de Paris. Pas loin de Chantilly......

C'est la brume qui m'avait mis la puce à l'oreille, dans le vimeu c'est pas rare... A+

I am off to NYC tomorrow to spend a few days with my wife Patrica and son Adam. We have friends to visit and we try to make the Thanksgiving day parade every few years. I use to put my son on my back to see over the crowd, now at at 6'6" , he stands above most, plus I can't lift him anymore.

I thought I would post my blog address http://jackpanzica.blogspot.com/

for some text and photos from both the 48 state and European tour. Still working on all the photos and videos from Europe. My car is on the high seas and I hope New Jersey ports will be ready by the 29th of November when my car is due in.

Also, I thought I would post this picture, since I don't have any convertible to drive, this one will have to do. 4 to 8 Kph on the open road, plus I had scarf envy and had to show off my humble one.



Jack

Hi Jack , nice pic, I forgot to show you the same convertible on my island !
Have a nice rest at home and say hello to your wife.

I thought you might like to see some Finn Cars for a summer show. Reposted from Hara on the Finnshark forum.

Next summer something like this:

Also, you can see how they drive in Russia. We did not need the cold war, just give them cars to drive.

Or maybe an adventurous trip to Russia :leaving:

Just say hello on the forum and you will get a response , also the C3 section is very popular. You do not have to join to read the posts, but do if you want to post. A very good forum for help and repairs.

Hi Jack , I had a thought for your wife yesterday , visiting a shoe factory in the south of France......like a toy shop for ladies, with very low prices

I like Times Square : full life

Hi Jack

Thanks for the NY photos. Not a place we have been to among the 30 states we've visited - maybe one day!

Hope the car arrives back home safe and sound soon - Not sure I could endure that wait while it bobs about on the ocean somewhere!

We're all looking forward to the videos etc I'm sure! Take care!

Without my son Adam and Patricia's support, my trips would not be possible.

La voiture est sur ​​un quai dans le New Jersey. Il attend en ligne pour être inspectés par les douanes. Car arrivé le 6 décembre. Je suis allé à New York s'attend à ramasser voiture le 14. Ne s'est pas produit. Retour dans le Maine et attendra jusqu'à ce que j'obtienne appel de l'agent que la voiture est libéré.

Il est sur ​​un quai avec des centaines d'autres, chacun est inspecté, alors qui sait quand ils avec get à ma voiture. J'espère que ce n'est pas rempli d'eau au moment où je l'obtenir.

J'espérais pour le conduire à la maison, il faisait beau. Maintenant, nous avons de la neige sur le sol, dans le Maine.

Devrait être amusant de conduire la maison un de ces jours. Bien que j'ai eu un peu de pratique sur la neige en Finlande. La voiture a quitté la maison le 8 Juin. Il a été absent de la maison pendant près de 6 mois.

The car is on a dock in New Jersey. It waits in line to be inspected by Customs. Car arrived on Dec 6th. I had gone to NYC expecting to pick up car on 14th. Did not happen. Back in Maine and will wait until I get call from agent that car is released.

It is on a dock with hundreds of others , each one gets inspected, so who knows when they with get to my car. I hope it is not filled with water by the time I get to it.

I hoped to drive it home, the weather was great. Now we have snow on the ground in Maine.

Should be fun driving home one of these days. Good that I had some practice on snow in Finland. The car left home on June 8. It has been away from home for almost 6 months.

Jack

She'll feel good at home again

Hi Jack, glad to know your car is safe back home. Hoping the Customs are not going to look for drugs in it.........could be too bad for it....

The end of your first dream ? Now you have to think about the next one

Patience, it will be soon at dad's

I just got the customs release late this afternoon. I will fly from Portland to JFK, 6 AM Thursday, get a ride to New Jersey docks, pick up car and head back home by 2 pm on Thursday and be back in Maine around 8 pm.

To bad the release came this weekend and not last when it was sunny and warm.

I will be glad to get the car home. One more ride to end the year. 331 miles, plus 8,500 on the continent for a total of 8,800 plus miles covered in car from start of trip in Maine to end of trip in Maine.

Jack
