– strolling along a rain drizzled Albert Cuypers Market I spied these ‘zines pinned up at a stall selling old publications. Michel Vallant stood out as something to post on the blog (sorry it’s taken so long!). The stories protagonist is a French racing car driver – however he looks to enjoy the adrenaline rush of two wheels too! It is still published (since 1950’s) and a distinguishing character trait of his is “dashing”.
Beautiful weather today and a great 200 miler over into the Kettle Moraine area south west of Milwaukee. Smooth rolling triads through elephant eye high corn. Stopped for a fine late breakfast at Whitewater, a pleasant wee town with historical downtown. Key Lime cheesecake was a fine accompaniment to the meat-lovers skillet! Good mates to ride with!
Beautiful burgundy P1800 Volvo passed before my eyes just as I was leaving work. Designed by Pelke Peterson whilst a student under the Italian carrozzeria Pietro Frua. The P1800 was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961, the same year as the E-Type Jaguar. The Saint TV show starring Roger Moore as Simon Templar used the Volvo as his car after Jaguar declined to offer their XKE.
