Title: French fan
Post by: Sambo on April 11, 2012, 07:28:45 PM
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!

Sam

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

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!
