Hi Dick,

Xavier

Xavier,

It might be possible to get the cars off earlier than planned (most people don't pay much attention in the week, not that it makes any difference, because they have to work). The cars are genuinely virtual which has lots of advantages, no road tax has to be paid, the cars never need money spent on them in real garages etc. The only disadvantage is that we, the drivers and passengers are not in touch with reality (some people say this is common with lots of drivers today) but sadly this means that very few, very likely no, drivers or passengers will be able to be in Paris themselves.

We have a lot of photographs, particularly of the wonderful 50th birthday of the 2CV meeting and we can glue our rallyists onto the historic backgrounds. In case any one is concerned about this, the original material is not damaged in any way and no attempt is made to deceive people into thinking that the pictures are real. We use special processes to ensure that the absence of veracity is immediately apparent to the observer.

While it has disadvantages there is an 'up-side' which includes us being able to add snow, to the Monty Carlo Rallye Sections (if necessary) and reduce the unpleasant level of uncertainty found in today's hectic environment

Best wishes from Dick Roberts
