I agree, driving is more of a pleasure over there.
Road signs are better yes, i also really like the traffic lights with the smaller lights at eye level, really a good idea.

Another few. Not all citroen, but classic & french all the same Pics should be 'clickable'
Oh & this, have'nt a clue what it is, or even if it was French? Mind you I lay odds that it is French, knowing how well the French stick to there 'home makes'.

Very nice pitcures, thanks for sharing
Someone with an interest in Renault 4s?
The bottom picture of a blue car, that is a Citroen, im not sure what its called, could well be an original C6 I think?

Thanks I'm not surprised that it's French, but nice to know which! As for R4's.... well I like anything 60's-mid 90's if I'm honest. Earlier prefered. & Volvo's are my 'thing'Citroenmad wrote:Very nice pitcures, thanks for sharing

Good taste, but Volvos ... I do actually like a nice Volvo! Id have an S60, V70 or S80 any day, though im not one for any older Volvos, well, maybe a 480ES, but thats it.
Just realised you live in France, very nice
Actually, one year when we were holidaying in France with our 6 wheel'd C15 we were followed by a Volvo Amazon estate. It stopped with us in a car park and we got chatting about our van and the Volvo. They were from Holland and were holidaying in that area too, we met up with them a few times during the time we were there. Slightly odd.

LOL, Yes I recently sold my 480Turbo auto here in France, despite it being RHD (re-registered like all my cars). My hand was snapped off. Turbo with auto was never an option in France Currently daily driving my trusty 240GL EST with 198k & swmbo's 850 GLT with 162k. Value? £750 for both? 100% reliability, works for me Would like an R4 to play with too tho'Citroenmad wrote:Good taste, but Volvos ... I do actually like a nice Volvo!

I can believe that, cars are much more expensive in France than over here.
£750 worth of a pair of reliable cars? Really, that is what I call value for money!

£750 is my estimate of what I'd expect to get if I were to sell now. May be a tad more.Citroenmad wrote:I can believe that, cars are much more expensive in France than over here.

I actually paid £1000 for the 240 in Dec 03 & £850 for the 850 in Feb 09. Sorry if I confused the issue:oops:
I've slowly replaced (virtually) everything 'wear & tear' wise on the 240 in a sort of rolling resto' mode, as & when funds allowed. Clicky pic after a polish up earlier this year:
I've started on the 850: Cam & aux belts, Dizzy etc, rear discs, pads & handbrake shoes, drop-links & top engine mount so far........
Please don't shoot me for posting 'voiture etranger' here
In my defence, there are 2 Pugs in the family here, a 307SW & a 407SW
I'll keep my eye out & snap some more classic Frenchy motors & post 'em' as & when
