What an opportunity, what an experience! Thanks for the links Cassee! Very interesting...

I begun by reading the translated version and I was about to tell you that it was not so bad, not so difficult to understand, until this:

- Google Translated version: "It's not all that taking flying lessons, I take to be Skoda driver (yeah, I know, I'm the fart a little, but ...)..."
- Original French version: "C'est pas de tout ça de prendre des cours de pilotage, je profite d'être pilote Skoda (ouais, je sais, je me la pète un peu, mais bon...)"...

Then, I realized that it was that bad... Laughing

For example, it would mean (in my personnal level of English language..): "That's not all taking race driving lesson, I appreciate the moment while I'm a Skoda driver (yeah, I know, I am bit to proud of myself but)...

Then I thought: I hope he is reading a bit of French, that way, chances are better that he could understand... Anyway, press articles are often in English or both, so... But this article was not, sadly... But, even then, it was funnier in English... Laughing

Thank you for your gift, making me laugh as I woke up... Have a nice day!

Thanks SM

I try to read the original french article but the google translate helps a bit.

This article however is in English

I'm gonna take a look at that new article, thanks!

I was working/editing my post to give you a better translation, now I think I'm not better than Google... Embarassed

Cassee, if you could call me Speed, I would prefer... Laughing

If you put SM in Google, you may find some kind of se_ual practices that even if I am bit crazy, I don't want to be related with... Laughing

I sent a couple of pm's but I don't know how to contact anyone else.
I'm still hoping for us that JV-World will come back on line.

Thank you all for being so welcoming. Smile

Please don't apologize for your English, you haven't read my French. it's worse than google translate. Laughing

Simon Mon 24 Jan - 16:35

Any bit is yet better than nothing Cassee. Nonetheless, we won't even ask of you that you practiced it here. Or maybe so little... tongue

Here is now a post about "Rules, uses and legal notice."

Please let me know by PM if there is too much fault.
Thanks.

Bonjour jvistes!

Cassee told me about this board so I thought I'd check in. Like Cassee, I've followed your conversations on JV-world for years although my French is not very good... at least not my written French. I remember the marathon 500 page topics on his potential return with StefanGP and the association with Durango this past year, as well as your lively race day threads.

Hopefully we get JV-World back, but if not, we have to start somewhere!

Thanks for the site abf1!

Thanks for the welcome Cassee, abf1, lastgard and GoJVGo... all familiar names I might add Wink

Here's hoping something good will happen on the business end of things that will allow JV to do a fair chunk of Nationwide races this year. Smile

Hello all,

Wow, my French is awful, took me a while to figure out how to get in here Embarassed

Nice to see so many names I recognise. KineticKid told me about this place, had no idea it existed. I just knew JV World had gone. Lisa told me as far as she was concerned it was coming back, seems not then.

Not sure how often I'll get over here but I will definitely drop by now and again to see how you're all doing. Very Happy

I might even end up learning some French by the look of it. sunny

Simon Thu 14 Apr - 13:22

Lyria,

Please consider yourself more than welcome to drop by at any given time, and add to life on the english-speaking section of our lounge. Only belongs to us to make it a must for Jacques' fans around the world.

Cheers and come back often!

PleinGaz Thu 14 Apr - 13:41
