Taking the supe to France!

Can't wait to get away for a few days prior to our house move, off to visit a couple of friends of ours in Maire l'evescault, near to Bordeaux. Getting the overnight ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge arriving sunday morning, then driving 440 miles to Maire l'evescault, looking forward to it, especially after hearing the other week when a mkiv member saying about all the looks the supe got in France! i'll let ya's know how it goes.......

Have great trip mate, enjoy the drive

i took the sprog to euro disney a few years ago and absolutely loved it, you soon get used to jonny foreigners funny driving on the wrong side of the road, and you wont believe the attension a supra gets over there, i stoped for some petrol on a motorway and when i came out after paying the car was surrounded, have fun

Cant wait to take the Supe to the Nurburgring next year. Reckon you should post some pics when you return

Taking a disposable camera, but i'll take the digital too, i'm driving near to paris, though don't think i'll be going in to it, i'll try and find some decent places to take a few pics!

Had a great time in france, turns out it was 500 miles each way!!! but the fascination of other drivers adoring the soop!! i can't explain the love for the car, at first it felt a bit weird, but i soon learnt to lap it up.

In the uk; as you all know you get quite a few looks, though imagine how often the frenc see a car like this!!! every car is a Renault/Peugeot/Citroen.

I even got a thumbs up from a gendermarie van, (local police) as they over took me! Many youths kept overtaking/slowing down/overtaking e.t.c.

Anyway, as me and the fiance went to France to visit a couple of friends, we didn't get many phots of the soop in picturesque locations, cos we couldn't fit all four of us in the soop, so we went out in our friends Mitsubishi Animal, all the time.

Anyway Pic 3: At my friends house, shaded by a tree, Animal in the background!

Pic4: soop at a different angle with a sunny rear end!

Pic 1:Approx 7 am sunrise in France, returning to catch the ferry back to the U.K.

Pic 2: As above.

Oh, forgot to add this one.... What every soop's boot should look like.. :

5x crates of beer

12x 3litre boxes of wine

1200 cigs

duty free's

You really ought to be saving as JPGs mate.

I've just booked the tunnel for next Wednesday night - can't wait!

You really ought to be saving as JPGs mate.

 

why's that???

photo's were taken in 4 mega pixel format, though have obvoiously had to ba photo chopped to fit on here!

*.gifs are a reduction in quality

French roads rock - especialy the toll roads. Watch out for Le Fuzz though

GIFs are designed for small images with few varying colours. Maximum number of colours is 256. Your images look grainey because of this.

JPGs were designed to display images with lots of colour variation at smaller file sizes (clever compression algorithms)

Your 300 or 400k files will probably be just 100k ish as a JPG and look better too!

Cheers Pete, you learn something new everyday!! couldn't grasp what you meant last night, no thanks to the xxx glasses of wine no doubt!!

here's the new product:

p.s. d'ya know what the black dot is on the sunrise phots? i'm assuming it's where the sunlight is brightest, as i've had it before when taking a phot of the soop polished up!

Nice one, glad the Supe got loads of attention and love the new boot install

love the new boot install

yeah, i removed it, rapido, prior to getting off the ferry on return to this side!

thought you meant the GB sticker, sorry, but i have removed that install to a now very crammed fridge and garage!
