Salut !!

Well you started off on the wrong foot :) -- made some of us envious :mrgreen:
Very nice looking 712! Great looking spot for off-roading in the Alps.

Some here in California play up in the Sierra's. Might be a late season this year.
Over 6 Meters of snow on some of our trails and it's still accumulating. Not
complaining, we need it desperately, drought conditions here for several years.

Welcome! Are those driving lights "cibie super oscars"? I had a pair of those on a citroen 2cv and the engine would nearly stall when I turned them on...

What tires and size are those on your 712M?

Bonjour Cyril!

Welcome! Glad to see a fellow French-speaker on the forum! This forum is a lot more active than the french language one (I am "Jan_GE" over there), with really helpful members, you won't regret getting "out of the shadows".

Hello,

rmel : This picture was taken in Morocco.
There is a lot of nice places in the french Alps but most of them are prohibited for motor engines...

VinceAtReal4x4s : OK for some pictures of my 710K. I just bought it at a friend in last November and I don't take some yet. Now is stored for the winter so there would be a little delay.
Just some more informations :
It's a 710K with soft top in the back and hard top in the front (under the soft top).
He have : a 24 V Warn XD9000 winch, a 24 V air compressor (in the back), a heater, TD hydraulic steering and TD disk brakes. :mrgreen:

TechMOGogy : OK, for more pictures. I'm looking for some.
One picture of P2.
P2 is a stock 712 SAN with Maloya. Now, the shelter is off because I need a pick-up to carry some materials (woods, stones, ...). He's not finished yet, I have some body repair to do. Normally, he's ready for the end of March.

Haf-e : Yes, they are Lightforce with 100 W bulbs. 2 Striker 170 and 2 XGT (240). I don't have any problem with the alternator.
The tires are BF Goodrich KM2 in 255 85 R16.

GenevaPinz : Bonjour voisin.
I know, you are the "Shark's Pinzy from the lake Geneva". :wink:
Yes, you are true the french forum is very very calm... :(

That is quite the collection! Welcome.

I'm still building my first (a 1972 710M) but hope to find a 712K or 718K in a few years after I get this one to the right condition.

Thanks for sharing the photos, it's always great to see other rigs. I have learned a great deal and modeled many of my upgrades off of the information learned here.

whitesik : The air compressor is mounted at the left back with the hydraulic jack and the spare tire.
There is no tank and there is a fast air connector outside. More pictures will coming...

Pinzcat : Bonjour Pinzcat.
