Spent a day converting the Chummy to left-hand drive - and then set off for the Alps.

Corning forces... No wonder with this speed on those tiny roads! 

According to the speedo needle's position you are going more than 55 mph... uphills! Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

Lovely work, Tony... we should now try to fake photos with our cars being part of historic events: Wellington in his Swallow at Waterloo station, Nelson on Board his boat tail Austin at Trafalgar Square, The Pink Panther in his Ruby at 10 Baker Street chatting with Miss Marple...
