In september, DATSUNBOY (Dan) have done a trip in Europe, and specially in France, with his wife, Pip.
It's a great travel from New Zeland!!!

So, Vince of France and me have been happy to receive them In Marseille in the south of France.
The meet was very interesting.
What a good day!

Datsunboy is a real fan of old japanese car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First, we start the journey by visiting Vince of France and his car collection...

The SSS taxi car of the journey

Our friends with their servitor and travel guide after a lunch on the beach (Mediteranean fishes)!

By the mountain roads...

The visit of the church of Marseille, "Notre Dame de la Garde" (the Virgin Marie who protect the city).

My friend, Vince of France.

So, Dan and Pip keep on travelling to Italia...

Hey guys!
yeah 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.

Cheers for the pics, and the amazing hospitality!

Heres some of our pics from Marseille....

sounds like a blast!

i should be visiting europe next year, i want to backpack, arriving stansted airport in the UK. I might buy a Honda S2000 (tentative) to be shipped tax free back to malaysia once my brother finishes his study in UK.

Maybe I can try to meet most of the JNC members on here. I want to travel and look at the JNCs in Europe and perhaps meet Michael Ortmann in Germany, the supplier to my S car parts. I guess I shall save up now!

So If I am in the area, maybe I'd just drop by to see the collection

hahaha, hope I am welcomed and not a party popper

Nice!

We had our honeymoon in Australia in 2004.
Saw a fair bit of Mazda cars down there and we had a good guide/friend there!

If anyone i coming to Sweden let me know, I can probably help!
