Hello from the Faroe Islands

Post by AtraHasis »

Hi, I’ve recently bought a Citroën C5 2.2 HDi Exclusive from 2008.
I’m very happy with my purchase, although I do have some problems with the LDS tank and pump, that I’ll go into details about in the appropriate forum.

My previous car was a Suzuki Wagon R+ from 2004, that I drove until the very end.

I’m looking forward to learning more about my car on this forum. :)

Hi, and :welc: to the Forum. I know the Faroe Isles have the shortest commercial flight in the world (in that it only takes a couple of minutes from lift off to touch down).

Hi and :welc: from me too. Have a good look round from the board index above and join in whatever appeals to you. I remember as a 5 or 6 year old coming across the Faroe Islands for the first time when browsing my Dad's atlas and I misread it as the Faroff Islands :-D

You may be surprised to know that the Faroe Islands has been mentioned on this forum, mostly by me :-D

To recap
NewcastleFalcon wrote: 19 Jan 2021, 12:49 ....Our next door neighbours for a time were a family from the Faroe Islands, and when they came over they bought two new cars from Belgium to take back to the Faroes. One of them was a Toyota Crown Super Saloon, the other a Mazda 616 both popular models in the Faroes but considerably cheaper in Belgium at the time.

I remember they got them "Zeibarted" straight away. Do people still Zeibart vehicles now :?:
