Hello
Hi guys and gals.
New to this forum but I post quite a bit on the 406coupeclub forum, so some of you will know me from there.
I have a '01 3l V6 coupe and have done a bit of work on it.
Up in Caernarfon, North Wales.
All the best.

Re: Hello
Thanks for the welcome.
I think that Hafod and Elim Peugeot were busy during the 406 era, there does seem to be a good few of them about.
Grr is what some mates used to call me, they had difficulty with my real name, I didn't mind
Blue406, I thought I recognised your usename. I'm sure that there a few more from the coupe forum on here. It would be great if we could combine the two forums, there's enough similarities!

Re: Hello
Welcome Ger, I'm over on the cc as well (mjb2, my original mjb account got disabled for some reason
)
Everyone else, our new friend here is knowledgeable about the 406, especially cambelt jobbies from what I can remember (bear in mind I've just had a week of extremely heavy drinking

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
Re: Hello
Technically yes, but there's a massive culture difference between the two. Over here 9/10 threads go seriously off-topic whereas it's frowned on at the cc. The regular Coupé club meets involve meeting up and talking about cars. If we ever got around to organising one here, it'd likely involve a pub, cheap b&b, lots of alcohol and talking utter sh*t all night with people caught talking about cars being relegated to the naughty cornerger wrote:It would be great if we could combine the two forums, there's enough similarities!
