Putting out the bins. (Hope the bin men don’t mistake her for rubbish in the morning). This little jaunt in the 2CV has led me to the leafy Parisian suburb of Meudon - steep, narrow streets and fine views.

Another one saved. This Smart Roadster was due to be broken for spares so I rescued it last year, spent a few months sorting out numerous issues and it has now departed for a life with a lovely new owner. This year marks the 20th year with my Roadster CoupΓ©, scarily.

Pulled its face off, had a fiddle, changed the oil and replaced its face so it’s ready for the next 5000 miles.
