New french member!

Hi everyone!
First of all, i'd like to apologize for my english. I don't speak english very well.
i come from france and i'm a very big fan of vauxhall cars. in france their name are "opel" ans the nova is the "corsa".
I had 3 novas.

My first was an 1.2L city of 1994

1 year later

My second one was a GSi of 1989. i had it since 2 months but someone burned it the day after the french elections.

I managed to find a new one 1 week after. i have this one since 06/2007 and it's of 01/1992. on this one i have a complete sport line (i don't remember the word in english but it's the long tube from where gaz go out). i have a tacho plasma from a kadett GSi.

Hi Laurent

[Matt2107]

Welcome to the site.
I got a C at GCSE level in French. My course work was an A but unfortunately my Oral let me down. I have improved since then ;)

[Stuart]

Welcome Laurent,

As said your english is better than most of the morons on here :D

[Jack]

Hmm, the only French I can remember is "parlez vous une pomme du terre?", which probably has completely the wrong spelling and grammar, but roughly translates as "do you speak potato?" lmfao lol

[LaurentGSi]

the sites I visit are corsaa.leforum.eu / corsa-connexion.com / blitz-gsi.com

[J4MES]

Welcome to the site dude!!

Ps whats the French obsession with burning cars, usually over political issues??

[LaurentGSi]

i don't really know... I think the guys who burned my car were not happy with the new president because he wants to put the "racaille" (it means people with diferent origins, maghreb for exemple) out of france.
In our country we notice that it's always the same people who are agressive and violent. it's not racism but just a fact i think.

Maybe you can't understand because we don't live in the same country;)

welcome to the png:D

Lots of people over here aren't happy with our dictator- sorry, Prime Minister either. But because we are British, the worst we'll do is get very angry, complain amongst ourselves and then sit down and have a cup of tea and biscuit whilst we get taxed lots. lol

[LaurentGSi]

So this is the famous cup of tea!lollollol

Earl grey attitudelollollol

I remember now i got a shox of rowan Atkinson (live 92 if I remember). I don't understand each word he uses but from what i understand (90%) I really love.

English people have ****in' good actors! I really apreciate your humour!lollollol

[CP]

You need a good sense of humour to be Englishlol .

The best thing about the french is that they know how to say "Non"!

We spend far too much time worrying about the Human Rights of every single person in the country and trying to blame everyone else when something goes wrong. What we should be doing as a country is saying "Non"! and if you dont like it you know what you can dolol

So being as you are from France, am I right in thinking that you aren't allowed by law to modifiy your engines at all?

That's right, we're not allowed by law to modify our engines (or to "swap" it).
In France your engine must keep the same power (hp's).
I got a e16se but a c20let would be apreciatedlol but I can't...:cry:

It's not because the la say "no" that we don't do anything... i mean i modified a little my car (-70mm front , -50mm back, weels, exhaust, air filter...)
