New french member

Hi all,

One more french guy joining this amazing community after having spent hours and hours in your forum , reading, dreaming about the most beautifull cars I've ever seen

Quick info : I'm leaving at Bordeaux (wine area) , 41 years old with a girlfriend and one son Valentin 17 months old ...... ok about my cars

I have had only impact bumpers :
- a coupé from 1988 (RUF look) like the one from Jean66 (he posted in french more than 4 years ago)
- a cab from 1986
- a Targa Wide body from factory from 1986...... but RHD
- and the last one I have : a coupé slate grey from 1989 I bought few week ago in UK thanks to the currency, really good for us in France

Under here if it works.... few pictures of my "beauty"







As well, because we mention so often your forum on our website, if you want to spend some time, have a look, it's here : Type911.orG : L'incontournable site communautaire ! [Accueil]

I hope you will enjoy to have one more french guy in your forum and also the few pictures I posted

Rgs

Marc

Thanks Tom

Yes on the right side and also not eaten by rust like the RHD one

Anyway, I'm thinking with some friends to backdate it

Bienvenue, Marc!

Votre voiture est tres beau! J'aime cette coleur. Combien de kilometres/ miles?

Sorry about the accent-less spelling and the poor francais...

Welcome to Pelican, my friend.

Sweet 911 you have there. I really dig the frosted, RSR look on the Fuchs.

Hi Matty

Really good french, as good as my English ;-)

So car was born in Germany in May 1989 and spent quite a long time in germany....

In 2001 Andrian Crawford, really wellknown in UK imported this car for one of his customer with around 83.000 kms.
This customer sold it more then one month ago to Virgin.com in UK and I found and bought it thanks to Pistonheads with 133.000 kms .....

Bienvenu a bord Marc!
Super bagnole aussi!
With just 133,000 km (less than 90k miles) your car is just barely broken in!

Welcome Marc

Beautiful Carrera you have there.

My family will be meeting near you next year, for a large reunion at a place called Sourzac. We have been thinking of shipping over the 911 from the USA for the trip, as I'm sure there's some great roads in your area to explore.

Welcome aboard. J'adore la couleur de ta 911. Cela fait changement d'avec les sacro saintes 911 rouge, blanche et noire. Ce doit être super de rouler en 911 sur les petites routes de campagne de la région de Bordeaux...Sacré veinard.
