The French Toast Thread!!!!!!!!!

[Parrot Z51]

I continue to be amazed that there are corvette enthusiasts in France and happy we have connected with these great guys. I was at my local cruise in and I was telling others about how there are corvette lovers and corvette owners in France. I told them about their website and how there is an actual forum in the French language all about corvettes. They found it very fascinating!

I think it is really great to bring together an American based corvette site with one from France. I have learned a lot about the French from visiting their clubsite located at www.corvetteclubfrance.com
Yes, it is in French, but you can cheat and use a translator to view the entire site in English! LOL!!!!!!!

After seeing the posts and the pictures there I am really interested in one day heading to Paris. It seems like a lot of fun and a real exciting place to go. I wanted to create this French Toast Thread to give our friends from France a toast of wine (I bet you thought I meant BREAKFAST didn't you, eggs and bread, HAHAHAHA). Okay, you can have that too!!!!!!

I figure we can use this thread to talk about places in France and this can be a good hangout for anything French. If you want to talk about French Fries, French dressing, French Kiss....ooops......ah nevermind! But yeah, let's talk French. Okay, I will start!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone tell me the significance of these folks and France. YES, I know they are from the United Kingdom, but they do have a French connection though. Okay, the boys from France can play, too. I wonder if they can figure it out. Okay, here is the picture. Good luck:

Those are some good links there. Let's focus on the third one you listed. Movie music! Which movie are you thinking about?

James Bond's "A view to a kill" ("Dangereusement vôtre" in french) starring Roger Moore and Grace Jones.
There are some action on the Eiffel Tower.

PS : Inspired by one of their favourite Birmingham clubs, Barbarella's, the band took their name from the evil character "Dr. Durand Durand", played by Milo O'Shea in Roger Vadim's (who is french) sexy science-fiction cult film Barbarella. (found in Wikipedia)

YOU GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Meeting you, with a view to a kill
Face to face in secret places, feel the chill.
Night fall covers me, but you know the plans I’m making,
Still oversea, could it be the whole world opening wide
A sacred why? , a mystery gaping inside
The weekends why?

Until we dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire,
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire,
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire.....

Choice for you, is the view to a kill
Between the shades, assination standing still.
The first crystal tears, fall as snowflakes on your body
First time in years, to drench you skin with lovers’ rosy stain
A chance to find the phoenix for the flame,
A chance to die..

But can we dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
To fatal sounds of broken dreams
Dance into the fire
That fatal kiss is all we need
Dance into the fire
When all we see.. is the view to a kill
