Camille's big rebuild

I'd love to but

Hi Syco,

Just wondered if you might fancy posting some of the original footage that you have found of Camille into the thread.. I'm sure that plenty would be more than keen to see her in action :beerjug:

Hope all goes/went well with swapping the springs over, surely she can't be far from rideable now? :D

I've no idea how to put video clips on the site.

Nothing to do with me - just thought Camille would appreciate being a 'filmstar' :D
 
Long story

Tell me where does the name Camille come from? it's always puzzled me abit as to who named this bike Camille and why.

Al turner family cars n bikes get named. Camille was the name we gave her as she's a desert bike, a modern camel and camille is as close to camel as I can get. Silly I know but family tradition and one that needs to be kept alive. Ross even names his bike now, we've got
Bertha dads old gs
Jaffa dads old rt
Katy Ross's Kim 65
Ratty Ross's gem minimoto
Ratatouille Ross's grc minimoto
Kitty the metrakit

The only bike not named is the fireblade just cos Ross can't think of one yet.

Nice not to be alone

When my daughter was growing up our my cars had a name. There was Eric the ancient 2CV (1958) Norman the Citroen AX later replaced by a diesel version called Derick. Our lovely 1952 Citroen Light 15 was called Daphne. In 1998 my daughter,then 14, christened my new Impreza turbo Percy...foolishly I asked why..apparently there was a film called Percy the penis extension! :augie

PS
Fantastic job you have done there, great attention to detail and I like the fact that you recorded your cock ups too.

Majorly off-topic I know, but it made me chuckle when I found that there was a 4x4 Rover SDI in that year's rallye :D
