The Frenchies Part Un arriver pour Part Duex (1 Viewer)

[arnott1t]

Oui it is true, they're back.... well not yet but they are en route. After travelling north and central America for about 2 years they have returned to the great white north.... this time with 5th pinion still intact and at french warp 4 (90km/hr)

Ivan and Katia with "Sputnik", Le Original Frenchies are due to arrive tonight at our place to stay for a while, get a new clutch installed, and give a general once over of the troopy once more.

Trying to find their original thread but couldn't....

You must have gone to French emersion! I read that whole post in a French accent almost like I was really French, you are amazing French writer!

They spent Sunday and Monday at my place, where we traded some windshield installation services for some landscaping services. It was nice to see them again, they are a delight!

So where are they headed now? South for the winter?

 

[arnott1t]

If you look on a map of the pacific ocean and situate it such that you place your finger in the furthest point away from all land masses at the same time...... that's where they are going. A place called Christmas Island but spelled much different. Plan is to to outfit the troopy with pontoons and a sailing mast..... I kid..... I think.

I know where that is, I have a map of that area. Cool.

That's cool! Have fun, let us know if we can help. French warp 4 sounds pretty fast.

If the plan is to sell the troopy to raise funds for a rowboat, put me in line. I'll buy the troopy and hightail it for the border before the feds figure out I spent my tax money on another Toyota.

Maybe I should just buy a boat!

Frenchies are at a "swivel kit rebuild"

 

[Bambino840]

I was wondering if you could lower the hoist a little so it's just a tad more uncomfortable?

 

[arnott1t]

Ivan's doing. Not that it would go much higher… had to air down to 1psi to sneak this tall thing through the 8' door….
