Just wanted to introduce myself as a new member here on the French Car Forum. I'm originally from Brisbane, Australia and have recently become the proud owner of not one, but two French beauties - a Renault Captur and Peugeot 5008.
I've always had a soft spot for French cars, despite some dodgy experiences in the past with an old Peugeot 307 and Renault Laguna that seemed to spend more time at the mechanic than on the road! But I'm optimistic that my luck has changed with these newer models.
If there are any other Aussies in the group give us a shout! Always good to compare notes from this side of the globe. And if anyone has experience with the Captur or 5008, I'm all ears for tips and tricks. I've been impressed lurking through the forums so far - seems like a really friendly and knowledgeable bunch here. Appreciate you all sharing your wisdom and putting up with my novice questions to come!

I have extended family in Brisbane and around, my brother arrived there in 1970 with his wife and six children, the count now must be nearing a hundred.

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Re: Hello from Aus
The threatened closure of AussieFrogs (discussed in the thread Mick linked to) did not in fact go ahead - but joining FCF is a good move - I believe you'll find a lot more support for your modern cars on FCF!mickthemaverick wrote: ↑29 Apr 2024, 10:00 Hello and to the best forum on the internet.
