It’s been a summer of Pagodas in the wild in the Los Angeles area, I have seen several that I did not post as I was not quick enough on the trigger to snap a shot. Two signal reds and a powder blue escaped the lens.

.....in Paris traffic it is sometimes necessary to “appuyer sur le champignon” in order to avoid being hit from behind!

Nice shots Oz!

Post by: 49er on November 08, 2018, 17:48:50: I, for one, was very happy when they put the tunnel under the Arc de Triomphe heading NW on the Champs-Élysées. When I first drove on the Champs-Élysées back in the 60's there was no clear center to the Boulevard and it was kind of a "majority rules" traffic pattern with cars in the center "lanes" going both directions usually avoiding each other ;D. Better now but I still don't think I would drive my Pagoda there but do love to see someone else's there.

No, it's not, it's terrifying.
I've tried it...

Post by: pj on November 09, 2018, 07:25:00: Maybe we need to clear the traffic first :-)

Post by: GGR on November 15, 2018, 18:44:33: At the top of the Champs Elysees is the Place de l'Etoile, which is a huge round about around the Arc de Triomphe. People entering the round about have right of way, and it's quite terrifying. After a while, my technique was to press the gas pedal to the metal and close my eyes while entering the round about, and try to open them early enough to avoid crashing into an incoming driver using the same technique as me. Still alive to tell the tale.
