The 75 / ZT Historic Landmark Thread
Rightyho chaps and chapesses this thread is for the posting of fine pics of our fine cars at fine locations in fine weather (or not!). The idea is that people give us a taster of places well worth a visit with some pictures (with car ideally!) and a few words about the area / attraction - possibly including what to investigate and equally what to avoid whilst there. We have some excellent photographers on this forum but equally it is something we can all have a go at and it gives us lots of excuses to get out in our cars!
NB:There will be a prize for the best location / photograph (provided by me) to be voted on by all at the end of September. |

Thanks Mike for your nice comment.
For information, Mont Saint-Michel is a Benedictan Monks monaster built on a granite hill (since year 898) and which is surrounded by a small village in its lower counter parts. Tides mouvements make the place get surrounded with water except on the "newly" created path on its southern side. During tides, even the car parkings get flooded, where Samarkand was parked for the day (very freaky feeling :SHOCKED: ) but you can check tidal movements before arriving on the net. There are many souvenir shops there for typical artifacts, as well as 4 museums that tell you more about the place (one can get a combined ticket for the 4 entrances - 39 euros for a family of 4 persons, of which one is under 10 = free entrance). There are also nice restaurants (most of them serve the famous "Omelette Poulard" which was invented by Mère Poulard who used to serve it to the pilgrims who arrived at different "impossible hours". It's a thick omelette, with battered foamy eggs inside, and may come with variations like cheese, chicken, mushrooms etc... added. If you're planning a trip there, plan to arrive early and book and confirm your hotel / camping reservation as places are limited. There are hotels inside the vicinity of the place, but prices are a bit high. There is a parking near the place for camping cars/caravans, but it could be flooded and best to check tide movements prior to reservations and arrival. One day trip, but worth it and also worth to stay few days around as there are many attractions and museums in the area. Here's another image of the place where the village and other lower parts appear better. P.S.: The green dam (appearing behind the Corsa is the un-submersible road). Lots of UK cars spotted there on that day, but no 75/ZTs BTW) Regards / Majed

At first, it was in the Social Forum, then it was moved to this one (I guess due to the word "Touring" in the title )

Convinced that the 75s are strong cars?
