France Tales

We had been looking at cars for a couple of weeks. We wanted something small and economical but nice looking. In Europe that hardly narrows it down. The average car on the road is very nice looking and well designed. We looked Peugeot and Renault but started to see that Alfa Romeo’s were expensive new but reasonable as a used car. We purchased an Alfa Romeo, 2002, 147 1.6L, with leather interior. It had only 40,000 km on it. We are very happy, look at the pictures.

Look at the license plate, our car has VD. VD it gets around, anyone remember that commercial from the 70’s? while we were getting car insurance, we were at the insurance office, Jean-Jacques discovered the VD in the license plate. He decided to explain in French to the insurance agent what VD meant in English. Of course I was a little concerned but the agent burst out laughing. We are not in the US anymore Toto!
