Sad news - every animal lover will mourn her passing

Presumably the hearse will be a Renault.

Better than using a Citroen, it would probably conk out with an electrical fault before getting to the service

I must have seen hundreds of photos of her in the papers over the years but I've never seen a single one of her films.

Same here.

I think that's because the majority (not all, but most) of her films were French language, so unless you're a fan specifically of French films of the 50s & 60s or a particular film is an absolute classic then you're not likely to have seen them.

Although DeGaulle was extremely glad to be in a Citroën when naughty people tried to punch his ticket.

Err No, Renaults tend to work & show France in a good light, as did Brigitte Bardot's films

But a 1960's DS with it's hydraulic suspension meant you could roll along with 3 wheels on your wagon, unlike the newer Picasso's with the headlights ECU programmed to the car it's fitted to & not replaceable, rendering it scrap!

Brigitte Bardot passed away today (28 Dec). Aged 91. What a life she has had. RIP.

That saddle's at a pretty good height.
8/10.

Definitely so!🦊 🐷 🐰 🐹 😪

 

[AndyRM]

Most of her films are pretty "meh" to be honest, but they're better than most of the films that "pinup" actresses were involved with.

Definitely an icon, for a variety of reasons, most of which would doom this thread to the horrors of NCAP...

Its the same with modern Renfault's, like the Todger or whatever its called.

Presumably the hearse will be a Renault.

Or a Kubelwagen.

 

[tyred]

I'm another that often heard of her but knew nothing about her, not seen any of her films.

Open top Mercedes, modified for the job by the staff at the Mittelwerk.
