Thread: Spotting francoske klasike opustili cesti

Scrappage delal čudeže za trg nov avto, ampak za kakšno ceno do šport spotting pol mrtev klasike na cesti?To je manjšina užitek, ampak tisti, ki mora pritožba nekaj avto matice, in še posebej prijetno, ko uresničujejo v Franciji in Italiji zaradi neznanega razloga. In to je uživanje spotting mrtvih avtomobilov med kulise, ko ste na poti.
Kljub let can't help it zavezanost te zlorabe, še vedno nisem delal, zakaj je bolj zanimivo kot isti stari avto parkiran na ulici in živ, vendar je mrtev stari avto v podrasti. Morda je možnost načrtovanja a spustiti na prostost.
Kakorkoli že, peljal skozi Francija pred kratkim, in je potrditev kaj sem imajo dolgo Bali - da scrappage programov, okoljske čist-ups in željo, da čistoča, morda, je očistiti francosko podeželje mnogih mrtvih brodoloma.
Med nekaj mouldering avtomobilov, da sem videl, so bili ' 80s Peugeot 305 salon (no reševanje gripa tam, čeprav druge generacije različico imel briljantno šasija), zadnje pol Opel Kadett posestvo, ki je zdelo, da so bili uporabljeni kot nekateri razvrstite kmetijsko-skladiščenja in presenetljivo, nekaj Austin štirinajstem v scrapyards, ki bi bil vsaj 30 let.
Ki zagotovo sprožilo preiskavo pozivam, ampak ni bilo časa, frustratingly, čeprav je to verjetno dobro. Tako nekaj dobrih točk, vendar v primerjavi z desetletjem to je dejavnost redkih nagrad.
Najbolj uravnoteženo člani javnosti bo zadovoljen na ta razvoj seveda, ampak mi je škoda.

Scrappage worked wonders for the new car market, but at what cost to the sport of spotting half-dead classics at the roadside?It's a minority pleasure, but one that must appeal to a few car nuts, and particularly enjoyable when pursued in France and Italy for some reason. And that's the enjoyment of spotting dead cars among the scenery when you're on the move.
Despite years of can't-help-it commitment to this diversion, I still haven't worked out why a dead old car in the undergrowth is more interesting than the same old car parked on the street and alive, but it is. Perhaps it's the possibility of planning a rescue.
Anyway, I was driving through France recently, and had confirmation of what I have long feared - that scrappage schemes, environmental clean-ups and the desire to be tidier, perhaps, has cleansed the French countryside of many a dead wreck.
Among the few mouldering cars that I saw were an '80s Peugeot 305 saloon (no rescue pangs there, although the second-generation version had a brilliant chassis), the rear half of an Opel Kadett estate that appeared to have been used as some sort of agri-storage and amazingly, a couple of Austin 1300s in scrapyards, which would have been at least 30 years old.
That certainly triggered the investigation urge, but there was no time, frustratingly, though that's probably as well. So a couple of good spots, but compared to a decade ago this is an activity of rare rewards.
Most well-balanced members of the public will be pleased at this development of course, but for me it's a pity.
