Title: It was time to join
Post by: pcrauto on June 04, 2011, 11:58:40 AM
Hi to all,
Have known about this site for a while and decided it was time to join.
My history, I have worked on and loved french cars since 1989. Spent many years working with Greg Kent and have now opened my own workshop in the sunny BOP [although the sun has left us today] >:(. Currently driving a 84 Renault Fuego turbo, my wife drives an 89 405gri, and trying to decide if I should save the 88 405MI16 [ heart says yes, accountant says no] ???. And assisting a client and friend in the building of a 205MI16 tarmac rally car. Will get photos up soon.

Looking forward to spending some pleasant time with ya all

Peter

Welcome. Another member in the (mostly) sunny BOP...

Keen to know of the whereabouts of said workshop, may be requiring your services one day (but not too soon I'm hoping)

Hi Peter. You fixed my 306, and I haven't stopped accumulating Peugeots since.

Hi Pete, is that a good or bad thing ;D

Thanks for the welcomes, shop is at 40 Newton Street at the Mount, will get round to putting the signs up one day. Share a driveway with 0800 My Mechanic. Always open for a chat [well not all the time that would be sad :D]
Rescued the Fuego from a clients shed where it was slowly being buried in R17 and R18 parts. Carb kit from the UK and a new fuel pump and she was away. Slowly starting to resolve some of the other electrical issues. May have to put it on as a loaner for fellow froggers ;D

One of my clients ( an accountant ) Has a 307 and a 407. Great customer.
Another client has two 205's, 306 hdi, Audi A3, son-in-law has a S16 and a couple of jappers to boot.
Always thought it great how people pick a certain marque and stick to them like glue. ;D

I stumbled upon the ownership history of my 205 today and noticed you owned it in 2004! WX9030. I promise I will get it back on the road one day.

Must have owned to many, can't remember that one! Good luck with it.
