My only advice would be to go for a petrol engine and choose something French and common - R5 are dead easy to repair - there's very little to go wrong with them. 205s are great fun - also reliable (although changing the clutch can be a bit of a bugger!) My local mechanic drives a 309 because they are dirt cheap and indestructible; round here the bargains tend to come from the local garages although I believe that there's some incentive for old cars to be scrapped rather than sold on - not sure how that's affected the secondhand market?<br /><br />All the best<br /><br />Keith<br /><br />P.S. My BIG DAY in France (apart from the day I met <i>Mrs A Taste of Garlic</i> of course), was when I was asked to explain something to an English new starter at work and... <br /><br />Couldn't remember the English words for Conveyor Belt!Keith Eckstein -A Taste of Garlichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290744199144035965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954745049002985163.post-33135244768686968032011-11-11T13:44:53.308+01:002011-11-11T13:44:53.308+01:00There you go...you've beaten the language!
