Newbie

A forum for new members to introduce themselves to the rabble already onboard. Not compulsory!
Tell us a little about yourself, lie if you have to but keep it to just an introduction, not a car discussion.

Hello all
I'm a serial Citroen perv.

Latest purchase is a slightly broken C6
Daily drive is a 96 XM 2.5td
And I have a 74 Dyane that's waiting for it's second restoration in my ownership.
I live in France

Hi and :welc:
Are you the chap that bought Davie's lexia by any chance? Good to have you along. All the help you might need on here, some really cracking members and a lot of entertainment in the Off Topic Chat Lounge which you can reach from the Board Index above. I had a Rialto GLS Estate myself in the 80's and you are the first member I've come across who has one. Cracking little car for the right purpose!! :) :)

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Welcome. What part of France?
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

That is the gent my Lexia is on it's way to. Welcome here Frogchod. This forum is great for knowledge of citroens in particular and peugeot and Renault. I don't often look in here now, as I don't own a French car at the moment, and can't really see me getting another, although never say never. I do quite fancy a cactus or a new c3, never know when it's time to change the daily seat one of either of them may be a possibility. But I'm not intending that it will be any time soon.
