Yeah, I can hear sheep from my house in the summer..... Work on a farm, not driving tractors or anything, our office in out in the country. Very green and very lovely. Going to be a bitch to drive out there when it snows. My car has no ABS!

I've never driven a Renault but I've owned 2 Peugeot's in the past... 86 turbo 4 banger and an 87 505 V6 ... leather everything .. were reliable cars...just started getting too damn hard to find parts for them! (My dad used to work on Peugeot's when they were still in the states)

My Bro's gotta 87 4 banger poojoe now!

Welcome to the board

Welcome aboard.

I had a Renault R-10 years ago, it was a fair piece but underpowered......weren't they all (the old ones I mean)

My neighbors here in So. Calif. are from Manchester, been here for 8 years. Great people to party with

I'd also like to say hi to everyone, yep I'm from the Uk in a place called Portsmouth, as I have stated in another thread I drive a Vauxhall so ask anyone from the UK what Clarkson thinks of them and the stick we get, you have nothing to worry about
