Hi from sunny france by midge on Sun Nov 08, 2009 9:23 pm
Bought my first Frontera sport (FIFI) just before we moved here 3 years ago, which is just as well cos when you set the sat nav to go somewhere and it says take the next left you find yourself on a dirt track going through a forest with fallen trees across the track you think the old Metro GTI withits skirts stands no chance. Its definately been a godsend on so many occasions, and till just recently never a hicup. Thats if you can call the exhaust finally rotting to bits and the shockers weeping a bit a hicup, more just wear and tear. Just bought the second (Freya) as spares for Fifi, but its immaculate. The only thing wrong with her is the stupid ex owner left the keys in one of his other cars, which caught fire so only got the key out of the wreck with no transponder. Ho Hum never mind I will be going to the opel dealer next weekend to see if I can get another one.
Anyway from what I've seen so far the sites brill I will be calling in if I can get the wife off the puter long enough.
Fifi - purple 1995 2.0i sport. Freya - black 1996 2.0 sport apache
