Heya,

Just stumbled accross the board on my search for 406 resources on the net - thought I would join up and say Hi

My name is Joel and I live in Sydney Australia - Drive a 406 2.0 ST Manual D8 in China Blue (We have weird spec ones here

) and its my first car. Love the way it drives but it could have some more power. The 406 is pretty rare here - not many sold as they were pretty expensive in the Aussie market - there were high taxes which makes the price point hard to compete against some of the locally produced cars. I really want a 2.0 Turbo with a huuuuge cooler sitting out the front....only problem is that we didnt get them here

Here is a pic of my car at the 2006 Sydney French car day

EDIT : I forgot to add - Check out http://www.aussiefrogs.com - thats our Aussie French car community there!

Today we had 11 deg, 70mph winds and torential rain. Roads were closed due to winds & flooding and around 80000 homes were left without electricity after power lines were damaged by the weather

.

Still, it cleared up a bit in the afternoon
