Title: New member from Nelson
Post by: slowfrog on February 28, 2010, 12:13:21 AM
Hi,

Im a relatively recent convert from Italian to French motoring.

Started 4 years ago when a crazy second hand car salesman offered way to much money for my aged Fiat Uno as a trade on an unloved green 106xr with 55k on it. Its been a great car( now with 110k on it) and only fault so far has been a dead ignition module and an appetite for front tyres!

After a couple of years, I bought a 206xt as well and have put 50k on that in 2 years with its only fault being an untracable overheating issue. Many have tried- all have failled, so I keep using it and it keeps going)

Last year, the bug got me completely and I swapped my 124 spider for a restored 1951 Renault 750 4CV ( Hence my name!) an dI havent looked back. Had a great trip (1000km) around the top of the sth island in it before xmas and loved it!

Pics on the way, as soon as I sort out how!
