Shame on Mike ! ... ; - )

He restored and cherished this 1928 Donnet G2. The sympathic French car was meant for touring the country side. And so did Mike. He took The Donnet this summer from Britain over the Canal(or under it?) and made the Grand Tour (congratulations US readers with another Tour de France victory of Lance Armstrong). He went shopping and not only for 'fruits et légumes'. He also checked menhirs. He even raced a steam train and is honest enough to tell us he lost with an inch or two. Anyway the Donnet did well. Thousands of kilometers without major problems and back home safely. And now the Donnet is for sale, can you believe that? We don't think that is fair to the car, it's not a horse or a house!

Well,....sure my friend MIKE is a genuine DONNET friend and I thank him to be one! How many are they in Great Britain?.....while there are nearly 600 ZEDEL/DONNET ZEDEL/DONNET owners all over the world,only MIKE was present (with his 6 cyl K DONNET)to be a witness for the British community!!Just dial COTE DE CHATEAU THIERRY 2012 ;the TWO U TUBE sites; you will attend to our last DONNET meeting on that ancient HILL CLIMB track:Who was there with DONNET cars? At first, Mike with his K DONNET ,which means crossing the "French" channel,travelling on "French" roads with his K to CHATEAU THIERRY (half way between REIMS and PARIS), and back! ,also two Belgium cars (one 1100cc DONNET SPORT replica ),a French 1926 DONNET ZEDEL torpedo....and so on..........
Long live to these LOYAL chaps! SHAME on those (from FRANCE) who did not come to this 110 th memorial day; The 1929 DONNET 1100cc monoposto (designed,manufactured,driven by my uncle) won his category in 1929/1930/1931; This HILL CLIMB race was created in 1902;My uncle ,Ing Etienne LEPICARD died in 1972;The memorial day happened in 2012.....Many thanks to these LOYAL chaps to be with me on that sunny opportunity..

Eric LEPICARD (President of the DONNET club,created in 1972!)
