Well......as promised....heres our pics it was a fantastic trip, and David and Vince made our stay in Marseille that much better!

They drove us around the city and the nearby country in the 160J SSS all day, and took us to awesome places that we would not have seen if not for them.

Vince showed us his collection of Cars, and other cool model's and stuff.

for more pics (taken by them) check out this link/forum.... http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/forum/v ... hp?t=11846" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I found them on the JNC website (linked above)
I have been a JNC member for ages, and had noticed awhile ago in the "introduce yourself" section some guys from France.....checked out thier city on google, and decided it was worth stopping by while we were on that side of the world!

He got pulled up at 1"random" at a check point....just like in NZ......but since there is barely any old cars in Europe (and even less Japanese ones)....the "random" part of it wasnt all that random lol.
but anyway,.....he had only just recently bought the car a few months or so earlier, and in France you have 1 month to change ownership papers, or you get a ticket of 90 euro's ( about $180NZ).
