Default Robey And Fowler's Trip To France

Had a Fantastic time in a little village in France called St Aubin du Bois, Perfect atmosphere, friendly people, no H&S despite the thousands of people there. And most of all fantastic food and drink, heres a few pictures of the event.




After being pushed off by a merlo in gear managed to make 5 pound of pressure without even lighting a fire

Driving on the right hand side of the road was interesting




You actually had to pay to get into the village, not on the engines though
