Hi Manual and welcome aboard. The "Indian car scene" forum section would give you a deep insight into our local motoring scene. Where in portugal are you from? I have some great friends from Guimaraes.......boy, you chaps know how to have fun.

Please do read the board rules section also, to familiarise yourself with our forum protocol.

I was not being scarstic.

In the foruns round here, the garage section is placed in the forum index as a section like here in team-bhp.com we have "The Indian Car Scene" or "Team-BHP reviews" sections.

Garage like what you have here is a very good addiction to a car foruns

About the English, usually each country have thei foruns in their language, i was quite surprised. I'm not reaching why do you say that


Well... never mind

Moderator Note

Guys - please try and understand things from Manuals perspective, not everyone in the world realises that our major medum of communication is english so please avoid such comments. Seek to understand before being understood


Anyway, Manual, welcome aboard, just saw how you are transforming your granny wagon into something else. Those cars are sturdy - shape about the renault mechanicals on the 1400 cc ones. I really enjoyed a couple of days in Lisbon over 10 years ago.
