More vehicles available for the 2016 TDF…but be quick they’ll go faster than Froomey! In December 2015, we were already full for the 2016 Tour de France dates, but we just took the decision to add a few more vehicles to the fleet for this season. As a result, we now have the following vehicles […]

A leap year proposal

2016 is a leap year, which means, if you adhere to tradition and folklore, this is the once-in-four-year opportunity for ladies to pop the marriage question to their partners.
