Big week for me.I took 3 days off, waking up wenesday morning:


Don't sleap a lot during the night
I'm get ready peacefully: breackfast, washing, dressing and check I take all I need.
The pack for the week-end:


Start at 6, on foot to the bus stop situate at 7-800m. I think I took to time, because I arrive at 6h15 at the bus stop but the bus arrive only at 48...
Oblige to wait in the cold.
Ahh! It finnaly arrive! Arrive at the railroad station a little 1/4 hour to wait before take the train.

Direction Limoges to take tha plane to London.
After 1h of train, arrival at Limoges,and  oh surprise, it has snowed during the night here. I get into the 1st taxi to do the link with the airport.
Plane arrival:


Take off to the London Stansted airport after take on board:



Little view from inside:


Arrival at London at 11h30, local time. Taken the link bus to London centre.
Direction Oxford Street to make change, there's no getting away from that do a lot of banknote of 20£:


I took the rest of the afternonoon to visit the town. The day after, start at 10 o'clock to Kettering:


After about 1h, arrival at the Kettering station where Dean went for me. Little talk with him during the drive of 6-7 minute.
Arrival at home, he open the garage, ansd like all mens, when we see a pretty a**, we can't be insensitive. Cappu's start , and wahou  , beautiful sound.
Inspection of the engine bay, ad the car. It's good. Dean show me how dismantle the roof.
He show maintenance's paper and different inovoice. It's ok for me but I have a problem. The train ticket was more expensive than I expect, and it miss 20£ from he ask. He call his wife and it's okay.

We load the stock whhel in the car, it took about 10 minuste to solve the puzzle:


Back to Portsmouth to take the ferries, direction Le Havre. I arrive at the hairbour at 17h30. I enter into the building to take a ticket, start speak english and the girl ask which language I can speak : english-french. She's French, it will more confortable to talk and negociate to pay a part in £ and the rest in ¤.
Wait until the start at 22h30. We drive to the ferries, and in the queue, I see an English passenger try to look at the cappu's back to know what's car it's.
We finish to board on and take the open sea. I sllep a little during the 8 hours during the trip, but wake up 2-3 times because it was cold. I think that's the ferries wasn't warm.
Arrival at Le havre at 8, landing the car and park to take a little breackfast. I tidy all, and direction Paris for a little meet in the night.
No soucy during the drive, pleasent car. Rendez vous at 17h30 to Courbevois with ae86gtforum's member. He arrive with his 86 ansd wahou, it's beautiful a stock 86. It's the first time that I see an Hachiroku.

We take off at 19, direction JapanCar forum's birthday. 1h30 insteed of 45' because traffic jam. We lunch at Quick and go to the meet.
1h after, my cappu is less alone, friends arrived:








Come back to Brive in the Sunday afternoon on snow road but clear.


Car load with salt but clean the day after.

I don't show you the car, we know it.

Little work during the weekend.

Dismantling the back shiel to invert the position of fog-light and reverse light (for French regiulation):


Dismantling the light:


View of the grid, seem not be the original:


Next's cat check the work:

It's seem that he view the broken licence light, repaired, and the left side twist, probably after a shock.
At the reassembling, a problem with fog-light, it don't turn on.
After inspection, it was the bul that was brocken.

View of under:






Otherwise, big work on the engine, I put a tiger inside:


Sunday morning, direction submarin base at Bordeaux where there is a meet, like all the last sunday of the month.

The cappu is not so little:


She is already attracting lust:



Back to home ant little stop to take the "GT5" picture.
For the history, it's on a market place. I turn around to find an entry,and I foud it but there's a pole.
My friend tell me: "It's blocked"
Me:"Look, it's get through!"
