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!
