 | The first mod of my holidays in France. It's a car adapter I made at home. During the 1000 km trip it will provide my notebook with 20 volts and 2.4 amperes. |
 | the adapter in its case |
 | We've hardly crossed the border and there's already ghetto stuff! On the left side of the road there's a burned-out Peugeot lying upside down! In France there are only three car brands anyway: Citroën, Renault and Peugeot! I'll get to that later. Unfortunately the camera wasn't ready at that moment! Now let's have a look at the cars which are driven (to death) in France:
This one is a nicely styled Volkswagen bus (they exist here, too). |
 | a Peugeot 204 |
 | Let's look at Citroën, this one is a 2CV ("Duck") |
 | an AX with five doors (they have three normally) |
 | Take a closer look at the doors of this BX. |
 | Oh my god! What is that? A bunker on wheels?
Just one thing is for sure: It's a Citroën. |
 | A very rare object nowadays: Renault Estafet |
 | And a... rO D ??? I guess it was FORD originally. |
 | If you look closely you'll notice that the rear window of this Peugeot 405 has been replaced by plastic foil. |
 | In France you have to buy the license plate yourself, but why buy one if you can make one ghetto-style... |
 | OK, you cannot only lower your car but also make it higher. |
 | The local police has nice cars, too :-) |
 | Renault rulez! This is a picture of the "new" van model. |
 | an other one |
 | Check out the Renault 12 |
 | A bus with a little dent and some rust which would lead to door-loss if you opened the door completely. |
 | I photographed these beautiful power supply boxes at the market.
Have a look at the duct tape mod. |
 | Here you see a rusty car next to the box. |
 | These pictures are from the best restaurant in Montalivet, in terms of food and mods.
Here: That's a lot of mods! |
 | Fixed, exposed outlets, with cord cables!!!! |
 | Uber ghetto: These boxes, (probably) providing high voltage, have no cover! |
 | The overground wiring is the greatest, unfortunately this is the only picture because this digital camera is not that small and light. |
 | Argh, those French standards! |
 | As you can see I'm not the only one who can do such ghetto mods (except Baader) |
 | This switch, together with the above two mods, belongs to a bedtable lamp which got a cable ripped out after the first drop. That's why I had to disassemble the switch. |
 | This is the light switch in my hotel room. The French people care about security, that's why there is a safety fuse in every switch and outlet. Unfortunately the flash of the digital camera is too bright for macro. |
 | I had to plug in that lamp somewhere, and because I had several devices with Swiss plugs with me I had to mod an Euro 2 Swiss cable. |
 | When I was chilling out and reading the "Blick" I noticed that headline immediately!
That's it from the holidays! |

| The more Arnolds the better! |
