I for one enjoy seeing cars, tours, and activities, from around the world. You always do a fine job sharing your photos and I enjoy seeing them. Yes it is a really acceptable speed (in top speed) It's 38 / 40 mph thank you very much, i will put pictures of the next ride i do.

Thank you very much Ed Luddy , Paris is beautiful too, there are a lot of very pretty old buildings as well as a lot of things visited (eiffel tower (the most famous ), ...) On the other hand in Paris there are a lot of people, and it's difficult to get around by car (there are a lot of traffic jams and everyone honks ) Your Pontiac in photos is magnificent, I really love it , it makes you want to have a good road trip with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Sebastien- do local police or authorities give you any merde over having the roof lights on your patrol car? That can be touchy here in the States on a privately owned ex-police car or other emergency vehicle. Keep the pictures coming. I think everyone here enjoys them. Car people are car people, all over the world.👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More recently my wife and I have visited Europe several times and I have driven in Rome, Athens and Dublin with the largest French city being Marseille. We prefer to stay out of large cities and stay in b&b's or boutique hotels. We like to meet the local people. We usually put about 5000 kilometres on our rented cars in about three weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, it is forbidden to turn on the flashing lights or the siren on the public highway. I can turn on the flashing lights only on private land (house, old car exhibition, ...) otherwise I have a very large fine. And in case a police officer does not agree, I bought the "tarpaulin" that we put on the flashing light with "Out of Service" written on it, but so far I have not had need to put it When I see the police they all laugh and say hello , and a lot of people like it . I feel like I'm in the movie "dukes of hazzard"! Edited July 30, 2021 by sebastienbuick (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A yes I see that you have made a lot of trips If you have been in Marseille, I also advise you to visit the Côte d'Azur by going up by St Tropez, Cannes, nice, monaco But it's also very pretty when you go into the countryside and have descended towards Montpellier, ... last week I did a little road trip with the Dodge Monaco from Montauban to Narbonne plage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
