French Car Forum

Hi,

New to French car ownership and the site. Always had fords until now, and just got a 2001 C5 2.0 HPi exec.

Welcome

G'day Xenton,

I've only been here 5 min my self and every one seems helpful.

where are you hailing from?

Hey guys, I'm from East Midlands, UK

Not too far to come to the CXM Rally this weekend and meet up with a lot of us then

It's a lovely forum this, very friendly and with a complete absence of any nastiness that so many other forums seem to suffer from. It must be something to do with having a common interest in old French cars Most French car forums (especially Citroen ones) are much the same...

There's a lot of fun to be had and extracting mirth from as many situations as possible is a given. We all share very robust sense of humour...

Actually, it's less than 2 hours down the M1, and it won't cost too much in fuel with the car not liking to go too much over 4000 rpm . What's the chance of getting a last minute addition to the meal Sat eve?

Excellent stuff Franklin (Citroening) is taking meal orders as we speak Drop him a PM...

Will do, and I'll see ya Sat.

Ay up, xenton!

Always nice to welcome a new member. And well done for finally discovering motoring's best-kept secret. Citroens are actually pretty good!

Just not the one I have, or so it would seem!

welcome im from the east mids aswell

Good to have a fellow East Midlander here!

Ay up!

Would a West Midlander be acceptable? Who is from sunny Yorkshire?

We're all midlanders! I was staring to think all members were southerners or northerners. Not that I have anything against either of those, was just worried there was a void in the midlands.

Ay up, xenton!

There is a void in the Midlands - it's where bits on yer chips is unknown! However, in compensation fot this, I've found folk round here to be very friendly indeed. So, although I doubt I'll ever sound like owt but a truculent Northerner, I reckon I can call meself a Midlander with pride. Not a Yammer yet, though. I need to learn the lingo. Yammer, in case you don't know is a name for a Wolverhamptonite but say it carefully - it can be misconstrued as an insult, especially from us "furriners."

As for sorting your motor, there's plenty of boffins on here who can help....
