500 Ferraris against cancer

Strange title!!!!

Let me explain…….

Each year in June
a huge contingent of exotic cars
descends on the Val de Vienne
race circuit near Poitiers.

The bulk of the cars are Ferraris
with the rest being an assortment
of classic cars,race cars,other
makes of exotica.
(There was even a Pagani
and a new Bugatti
-not a common sight eh?)
By contrast,a New Roller
that looked like an
American Mack truck
with a Rover 75 backend!!!
Possibly even uglier
than a Fiat Multipla….

All the cars get to do some tracktime.
Punters can pay 25 euros to be wizzed around
the track in a Ferrari….
All the proceeds,
including admission fees,
go to Cancer research.

“”Now what about the cars ?”
you are asking……

I am not a Ferrari fan….
They are all red and very expensive.

I like the older ones-the dino for example.

The 60,s cars are fabulous.

The ENZO-well!!!

I was staggered when I got home and looked them up-OVER A MILLION QUID EACH!!!!!!

All of us Brits who live in France
seem to think that everyone is a poor Joskins….
WRONG

There are some seriously wealthy people living in the Republique Francaise……
