Thread: If I lived in France .........

^ That Subaru is much more practical David.

The Citroen SM from the early '70's was quite exotic at the time, with several variants, one with a 3 Litre V6 from Maserati.

I fuckin LOVE that. ^

Never seen the attraction myself.

They just look kinda weird to me.

Actually, I hired one in London back in the late eighties.

Almost got her to 70 miles an hour (downhill, with a tail wind)

Off a cliff if you want to reach 70.

^^^^ PAG ... that Citroen SM is definitely different

or the Facel Vega the dream machine
a lot faster than old DS i had in Portugal
Prominent owners of Facel Vegas (mainly of Facel IIs) included Pablo Picasso, Ava Gardner, Christian Dior, Herb Alpert, Joan Collins, Ringo Starr, Max Factor Jr, Joan Fontaine, Stirling Moss, Tony Curtis, several Saudi princes, Dean Martin, Fred Astaire, Danny Kaye, Louis Malle, The President of Mexico, François Truffaut, Robert Wagner, Anthony Quinn, Hassan II, King of Morocco, Debbie Reynolds, the Shah of Persia, Frank Sinatra, Maurice Trintignant, Brian Rix, Joe Hepworth and French Embassies around the world.^[Race-car driver Stirling Moss would drive his HK500 from event to event rather than fly..

semantics(Cyrilles fav word)

Bugatti was a French car manufacturer of high-performance automobiles, founded in 1909 in the then German city of Molsheim, Alsace by Italian-born Ettore Bugatti.

French cars are shit, if you had a choice between a Renault,Citroen, Peugeot or a BMW,Land Rover,Toyota. What would you choose? Be honest..

If i lived in France, my top three cars would be..

1, M6

2'Velar

3,F-Type SVR

Fun practical and different.

BTW, is that Renault 4 with a famous umbrella stickshift?

If I was in France I'd probably get the V6 version of a Peugeot 406 (preferably with false number plates ), because I have been in one and the driver flattened it. I know how scarily fast they accelerate and how well they handle in curves.

There is a very good reason they featured in a few gangster movies.

Thought it was an Audi?

Yes it is. The same gearshift found in the Citroen 2CV

They call them Chelsea tractors in the UK.
Some enterprising person invented a bag of dirt to throw over them , make them look like proper 4x4's.

The blue winds up the Man Utd supporters on here

If I lived in France I'd get one of these and drive around Le Mans all day, once a year.



Same maker as my 205 GTi

If it was, then De Niro and others have used Peugeot 406s in other gangster movies.

When my car was damaged by a German teenager in his dads Merc, I was given a courtesy car by the insurers.
The only car they had available was an Audi Quattro. No matter how hard I pushed it, or however bad the road conditions were, it was impossible to get it out of shape.

The Peugeot 406 is, like most French made luxury saloons, a compromise between handling and comfort.

Die hard?

Die soft?

If I lived in Australia

Best French film car chase by far
