I love this old hand painted truck. On the back is painted "Doucement les jeunes!!! j'ai 40 ans" which I will translate as "Careful youngsters!!! I'm 40 years old." I snapped this little treasure on rue Nationale, the main shopping street in Amboise, while the owner was in buying a baguette at the boulangerie in the background.
what a fun truck, still has a sense of humor in his old age ;)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a truck like this here.
ReplyDeleteSomeone who has 40 ans IS jeune. And get off my lawn! Why, these kids today...
ReplyDeleteI photographed one of these in Azay le Rideau today. I'm in the market for one, btw. I want one as my runabout for the orchard and such like. I've seen the one in your photo somewhere too.
ReplyDeleteOur neighbor had a 30 year old Clio that he was using like a little pickup truck for his garden. We called it the jardi-mobile.
