I often drive on A84, driving to Bretagne .. I will check Z4's with UK plates ;)
 
raining a lot this week over here .. twice this week my wipers suddently stopped working while driving ..impossible to make them working quickly .. First time it occured, I stopped and restarted the engine .. second time, they worked again after a few minutes ...bit scary, I will have a look at the forum to see if many have had the same problem.

Bienvenue!

Many years ago I lived in Caen for a year when I was a student at L'Ecole Superieure de Commerce de Caen, just by the CHU.

I lived by the Chateau and the University and was a regular in a bar called the Navy just near where the market was on a Sunday.

I still follow SM Caen, after my beloved Bluebirds of course!

Where in Caen are you?

Olivier

Brings back great memories. They have a good chance of going back up this season though. It is just staying in Ligue 1 for more than a season or two that seems to be the problem :headbang:

I may be heading back to Caen next year if the Tour comes close, which if rumours are right it will be.......

That is a common problem with the wipers. The only way to get them working again is to turn the ignition off and on again or wait a few minutes and they start again by themselves.

Try this fix here.

Bon chance

i always apply this to my screen http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rain-X-80199200-Repellent/dp/B001RAJ1ZM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350124279&sr=8-1
really does work & at 50mph + no need for wipers at all :thumbsup:
 
Yup.....I can organise from here, have someone plan a route in France, stop at City Europe on the way back, get a few bottles....

Maybe an overnight thing.....Sat morning early start at 6am at Folkestone and back on Sunday afternoon.....

Springtime would be lovely....

Or maybe a Christmas Hoon....City Europe for drinks at Chrimbo is always a good idea
 
i can recommend the st sever forest in normandy for exploring your car's capabilities without fear of plod 8)
a bit like the nuburgring but with nobody around ?
& the town of villedieu les poeles is a great base to get around from http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=villedieu+les+poeles&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=v1N5UOrvLuqQ0QXNyYC4CQ&sqi=2&ved=0CEEQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=663
