hi all, just joined the other day.cool site! have been a member of Aussiefrogs for a while,but SO much better to have a NZ site.
I currently have a '94 106 XSi 1.4(knackered paint on the roof!!!) and a Citroen AX11 TRS.
My French car journey started with an '89 309 GTi,loved it! Then a '94 106XSi (was on trademe a few months ago,blue,lowered,pod filter,momo rear box and faded paint on the roof!,200k on the clock) Had to sell it and buy a rock for my soon to be wife.
next was a 405 SRi,and then another wich was dead,stripped full leather out of it into the going one(then stripped it and sold bits)
then onto the mighty big block AX11 TRS. you may mock,but this thing goes hard for an 1124cc. Mind you,it kind of feels like your driving a bread loaf tin on wheels,and handles like a wet sponge!!!! then on ,to my current 106XSi.
have had a few strays in between, Alfa 33,BMW525i, but glad to be sitting back on some quality french fabric again.

anyway,thats about it for my history.

cheers
