Hi All!

I'm normally a Toyota guy, however I own old ones which often don't make ideal daily drivers. I drove a v6 406 as a courtesy car for a couple of days and was sold on French comfort.

I don't own one yet, but I would love to own a peugeot or citroen diesel. In the mean time, I'm looking forward to having a look around at all of your cars!

406 V6s are enchanting to hoon around the countryside in. Wait for a manual though, I reckon.

Sambo

Cheers guys. After filling that V6 I don't think I'll be buying one in a hurry, as much as I'd love one! But yes, a manual diesel would be nice!

I'm pretty open minded, anything from a 306 to a Xantia really. I quite like a do-er upper :)

French turbo diesels are definitely the way to go!

306 is good as car for daily driving. That 405 is just as old as your toyotas lol

A xantia V6 is yours if you want it. Bin a daily for a while now, needs a birthday! Looking at around $3.5k, will service it before sale. 125k, Leather, leccy seats, rain sensing wipers, bla bla.
The only thing better than one 16v: TWO 16vs...and a V6
