Model shop
« on: August 31, 2004, 09:39:36 am »
I have just spent the bank holiday weekend in Lille in northern France where I came across a wonderful little model shop. The shop is called "Nord Marquette" and is in the old town area. It has models of just about every Le Mans winning car plus many others . The owner is a really nice guy who was quite happy to chat for nearly an hour about past Le Mans experiences while leaving the customers to the spotty Saturday boy. For any other sad model collecting git like me I can highly reccomend a visit if you are in the area .

Nice one Bob.  I don't suppose he's got a web site that you know of?  Can't see myself popping over to Lille to buy a model.

Sorry, I forgot to ask about a web sight or phone number (something to do with the copious amount of red wine I had consumed). I should be going over again in 4 or 5 weeks. Iwill find out then and keep you posted.
