I make wewantourdarbyback get the ticket but pull up just so it's out of reach for him.

He finds it hilarious.

Yeah, use CTD's device to grab the ticket, and put some money in this to pay the lady in the tollbooth. She can put the change back in it:

[vincegail]

Or get an automatic tollpaying device in your car. Just pass the enormous queues and use the gates reserved for subscription holders without any hazzle whatsoever

You use the booths with the Union jack sign, or better still get your front seat passenger to pay it will save you a fortune

Drive through in reverse?

Why do you need to be on the autoroute at all?

If we go back to Victor's original issue, we're looking at paying not very much for a vehicle that will have resale value in Romania and will have Le Mans street cred, which says to me that a little fettling might be required along the way; none of that says the end user is going to really need to use a peage...

In order for us used car experts(well we all think we are) to maximise the profit for Victor we will need to know what sells well in Romania so help from Dani and Victor required.
In the UK large euro barges are relatively cheap (big BMW's, S class mercs etc) and I think they are probably available in France to (over to our french friends) In general small cheap to run cars are relatively expensive compared to expensive luxury cards once they get past a certain age, but I would think that well made big cars are often still very reliable and choose well and you could get a good return.

Good point Ian. We avoid the autoroute completely.

It's probably old news and I don't think it deserves it's own thread, so I'll put it here.

Good reading although I wish it was a hard copy available in English and in case you wonder printing is not a 'hard copy' I want to buy mine in a bookstore.

Can anyone spot the error on the front page?

Do you mean the fact that the full report on the 2012 race might indicate that it is not really current
