Title: another Newb ( sort of)
Post by: scott on June 10, 2009, 11:36:42 AM
Hey everyone,

Im a newbie on the forum but not really a newb when it comes to french cars. 
Been a peugeot trained mechanic for the past 9 years, so I ve had my fair share of experiences ( and Nightmares) working on some Pugs.
Keen to get hold of a 309 GTI eventually, thought it wouldnt hurt to get on here, might help me find one a bit easier.

Im from Hastings, Hawkes Bay.

I  actually saw the website on a trademe listing today, someone selling a 106 CSport, probably a member on here.

Hi Scott, what's your handle on BS?

DRTDVL is everywhere, he followed me to Bimmersport and I followed him here.. Don't tell anyone but we have a secret plan to take over all NZ's car forums!

Good to see another BMW driver on here though. I have parked mine in the corner and forgotten about it since getting the Renault.

A 309GTI and a 535is will have you spoilt for choice come Sunday's.

Yeah BS is good, gets a bit political from time to time, wicked place to get info etc, much like here Im guessing.
