 I drive a 1964 Renault Caravelle! It's got a hard top and a soft top. People
 always think it looks like a Sunbeam. Actually I mainly drive it in the 
summers.
 Not so good uphill. Not many hills in Paris? It's got a 1100 cc aluminum 
engine!

Just for Lugers who , like me , also have greasy hands and are full gear 
heads , I'd like to let you know about my other 
favorit hobby :  DRAG RACING .
I own a very rare Opel Diplomat ( German car ! ) with a small block Chevy . 
Very few were made with this motor , as many came with the slant 6 . I " 
modernised " mine with a bigger strocker engine , and also lots of hand made 
parts .
I've also got a 66 Chevy II . I'm working on it at the moment : roll cage , 
V8 , a.s.o. 
Generally in France people don't understand : Driving pre 70 cars and taking 
pictures with cameras they've never seen before : M's . They think all this 
stuff is old and lazy , but nothing speaks more then well cut " green light " 
, leaving them 100 yards behind , and the quality of my photos : so much fun 
!!
Regards .
