Hello from France
« on: March 22, 2012, 07:36:47 AM »
Hello everybody !

My name is Andri and i'm 22. Actually, i'm studying acoustics in Le Mans where there is the 24H.
I plan to buy Opel GT for this summer and i suscribe on your forum to learn more about this car.

Why do I choose this model ?
Because there are :
- RWD
- Convertible
- Turbocharged

Also, the other  advantage, it's cheap for nice car like this because french people doesn't like it, but i think, after some mods  it's can be better than bmw z4, s2000 and else.

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.  I had the pleasure of visiting your town in the early 70's for a running of the 24 hours.  Beautiful town.

Welcome to the forum, glad to have other members from Europe.
We know the Opel GT/SKY with a bit of tunning is faster than the Z4
Add some suspension tunning and it will become a very nice road car.

Welcome and don't worry about your English
It's Critters first language and he still can't handle it
:D
And then there is Ducksol, we swear he makes up stuff just to keep us guessing.

FYI I've worked for a Total owned company for over a decade and our division was recently sold to Arkema, another French owned company.

Who is starting the pool on what his first language is?   Oh, and Bonjour! Be sure and get some nice location shots if you get a kappa... so certain people who shall remain nameless don't post a certain emoticon which will also remain nameless.

Elff who used to be my buddy, just beat you to it.

Meet me in the world of manual typewriters and I will teach you a thing or two.

Manual typewriters didn't exist until Critterman was in 3rd grade - about the same time they invented English and moved away from stone and chiesl :lol:
