@onlytwowheels you misspelled ugly.

Gross !

@svend i feel like i did the other day on my mother's car a far better job than you ever did (and ever will).

Before :

After :

Hope you are not jealous of my professionalism.

Car DOTS at the end of the article.

Yesterday i did go to my mother's quickly, it was already feeling like spring and i ate outdoor with a peep :

Some cherry wood chops :

Yes, the wall and the roof are not flat :

There were bees (or was it bumblebees) buzzing around those, i also did a small videos of it (unfortunately there was too much noise to really hear the buzz) :

The old barn in front of the house :

The Chartreuse on the other side of the Gresivaudan valley :

45 minutes later at my brother's in Chartreuse (the peak at the left of the last photo is located on the same village my brother lives (further "on the left") ; it's upper in altitude and it snowed there less than a week ago :

My brothers Megane Estate diesel and manual and his wife's Mini All4 diesel :

The Vercors in the background (the "lighter" chain), Grenoble being in between :

The chickens :

Speaking for things I'm too old for, did Nibby not make the transition? Or did they finally cross the line?

There were several who decided not to do new Oppo for whatever reasons.

He is on the Discord : https://discord.gg/NYTGZ24z

ps:

The "DriveTribe promoters' best of the week" of this week (which lists a selection of six of the best articles posted on DriveTribe this week with the possibility to vote for your order of preference) features two Oppo posts and one from LaLD, 50% is not a bad ratio.

The A4 is in Phantomschwarz (LZ9Y, a deep metallic black) and the A3 in Vulkanschwarz (LZ9U a "light" metallic black).

The Vulcan hides better when the car is dirty or scratched.

@dipodomysdeserti i have 0 clue on what you are talking about but morning shows are rarely representative

@interstate366 yes! but then again, the french are pretty prideful, easy to upset

The idea of the French being prideful went out the window the first time I watched French television. And that’s coming from someone used to American media.

Pride in the US and France is quite different, in the US it will be about the country, nation, military or the flag while in France it will be about our terroir, traditions or savoir-faire.

And the French language is not only used and "maintained" by French people.

@interstate366 said in Any French speakers in here?:

@nauraushaun I once met a guy from Montreal who said Canadian French is considered “hillbilly French” (his own words) by the motherland, so yeah, you’re pretty dead on.

In a way it's similar to UK vs US English except that Quebec is pretty small so we don't hear much of it in the daily life so it can be quite funny sometimes to hear some expressions or strange accent that we are not really used to but there is no hate or real mockery against them.
Maybe a better comparison would be to Jamaican English.

We actually appreciate the fact that they are sticking to French even if it might not always be easy.

I'm trying to tell apart the ____ from the gulls (probably another bird)

It's an Eider, i has to Google it because it's the first time i hear about it.

@bj said in Any French speakers in here?:

And with a ____ eye (There's a term here I don't catch, it sounds like "magic" but it's something else)

Yep, sounds to be with a "magic eye".

I prefer Codnames to UNO, it took us 1 hour to finish one game of UNO...

Aïd mabrouk !

@nauraushaun

@nauraushaun if it's a quadricycle, it's limited in speed and not allowed on highways.

It's like a rollcage which is still sensibly less dangerous than a motorbike and you would have a better visibility of the surroundings and maneuverability than a normal car.

I hope those will help you to sleep :
