The automobile came from the city of TOURS department 37 it is in the northwest of France


( The automobile is registered with the former(old) system of registration which consisted that every change of department during the sale of the vehicle has the registration changed. Maintaining the system in changed. The vehicle keeps(guards) its registration numbers for life and we can make him(it) register(record) in the department that we wish)

37 = Department , XD = 1981 year + Month of registration & 2952 = oder of registration of the car

My friend lives in the northwest of FRANCE in the region which is called " la BRETAGNE " ( BRITTANY ) he is from the department 56 " MORBIHAN " near the city of PONTIVY

On APRIL 6TH, 2013 my wife and I took our plane tickets for the city of RENNES city





Our friend clement came to look us at the airport and then we taken for plane the direction(management) of PONTIVY city for fetch the DATSUN 280ZX green


On the road we crossed the van of " the agency any risks " having got back the DATSUN we returned to CLÉMENT to VANNES city where we had spent the night and also the evening we are go to eat in a famous BRETON restaurant of which the culinary Speciality are them Crepe(Crêpe,Pancake) salted!

[Vince of france]

The following morning, no time(weather) to lose we leave early for the South, the atmosphere " cool on board " we have 12 hour of road to be made!

The mechanical state of the car is first-class, in more has 4 new tires gone(taken) up the day before our departure there... Noins: rusty box(cash register), broken windscreen and not of neiman, the car starts by activating(suing) a simple button easy to fly at our home(with us) he(it) is going to need afterward to put him(her) an anti flight(theft) because Marseille it is not(is not well) seen frequently as city finally in brief....




One listened to the advice(councils) of CLÉMENT by way of ANGERS, TOURS(TOWERS), CLERMONT-FERRAND, MILLAU, MONTPELIER, NÎMES, MARTIGUES, MARSEILLE, here we arrive on ANGERS...






One it is stopped(arrested) at the exit(release) of TOURS(TOURS,BALLOTS,TOWERS) to eat an end, we were entitled to compliments for our automobile

[Vince of france]

Go! We left, the 280ZX eats kilometers with no problem at all... People who double us can not refrain from turning(shooting) the heads to the Right of an air(sight) "examiner" by asking for the fact whom(that) is that it is this "green" car


the city : Chateauroux, Montluçon, Clermont-Ferrand, saint FLOUR crossed(spent), we cross the region's : Haute-Loire, Lozère, Quantal ...





( Ps: Clermont-Ferrand it is the city where there are the factories of manufacturings of tires MICHELIN. His(her,its) nickname it is CITY MICHELIN!)




Then at the edge of the highway we see a panel(sign) (illegal worker) who indicates: " RUNNING DISCOUT 24H / 24H taken(brought) out 41), exactly I thought of stopping making a provisioning, then we decide to go out and to go to this gas station and guess how her name is this gas station = > " THE REBELS "

[Vince of france]

Of return on the highway A75 we arrive on MILLAU is his(her,its) famous viaduct it is the highest longer and viaduct of EUROPE!














Then we pass in Montpellier city and we take to the right direction(management) at our home(with us) "! That feels(smells) good " the SOUTH "!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!


A few hours later we arrive at night on Marseille by the highway of the coast, the attractive one seen on docs, tours(towers,ballots) SMA CGM the blue cranes which decorate the Autonomous port(bearing) of MARSEILLE (bigger port(bearing) of goods of Europe and the Mediterranean Sea)

[Vince of france]

The following morning we enchaine, inspection was crossed(spent) at the end of morning



The hour of the truth for "the éconogreen": besides making fall (flop) the consumption of fuel oil (10 % - / + 15 %), he ( it ) makes fall (flop) broadcasts (emissions, outcomes(exits)) CoCo2....









Verdict ... 10/10












Here is for the inspection, she(it) passed with some youngs thing(trick) to be seen again(to be revised): corrosion, ben that we knew how to, regulations of the rotations of wheels, see again(revise) the game(set,play) of direction(management) and full of small details..... We are going to make all that soon

By leaving I crossed a funny bird!!!!!!!!!
