Hello from Nantes (France )

Postby GWEN » Fri Aug 27, 2010 2:59 pm

I live near Nantes , owner of a xk8 Jaguar and a Mazda MX5 MK2,
I've just got a Fury , bought 2 weeks ago !
My first choise was a Ginetta , but it's very difficult to find british cars with french homologation :x

The engine is a 1300 Xflow of escort MK1 with carburetor Stromberg zenith
May have you seen it on this site :
http://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=http ... prmd%3Divo

The car is not very clean and I use internet to find parts for it !
Then you can be sure , I've got a lot questions to ask.... :lol:

I'll post photos , when I'll find the method ! :?

I hope to be excused for my language, it's my first post in English ! :roll:
If one of you come in France ( between Nantes and Angers ), call me... there's always a fresh beer in my garage ;-)

Welcome!

Is the car already registered in France or have you got to do that? Don't worry about your English, it's better than our French!

Hi Gwen,

If you want to post pictures, there is a "how to" in the how to use this forum section. Welcome to the fold!
Don't put tomato ketchup on your salad cream sandwiches. It spoils the taste of the chocolate spread.

this Fury was registered before !

I've not enought time to do that, and it's too difficult with the french administration !
I think, if you don't know the good people, it's impossible alone !

I think I have been in that car, 2005 after I wrote off my Fury Fireblade near Metz.... Cannot remember the guys name who owned it, nice english guy who lived in the south of France. Had a beard?? He did have to buy the town Mayor dinner to register it.... In my shed I think I still have a photo of it with him in it. I spent a morning passengering it it through the Vosges mountains after doing the Laon Historique. He broke an engine mount on the Laon Satrurday run. You will normally see 5-10 Fisher Fury's at the Laon Historique, worth going along to if you can get up there.
