HI from France

Hello
I'm Cédric from France, I'm 31 years old.
I hope my english will be good.
I discovered Trans Am in K2000 (KNIGHT RIDER) in France and now I would like to really have it. Actually I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9L LX Limited and a DELOREAN ( like Back To The Future) and a diesel car for all the days.
I'm interested by Trans AM but in France it's very difficult to find this car because GM never sold officialy Trans am. And in France it's difficult to register a car which isn't officialy sold. But there is a solution, if the car is an older car (25 years) ist more easy. SO i'm looking for a 82 trans Am in usa or in europe.May be you have.
So now I will look at the forum to know many things on Trans Am.

Greetings from Spain Cédric.

The best advice I can give you about this is to look for a Firebird in Germany, you can find them at a reasonable price in good shape. Recently I saw a couple of '91 Trans Ams in mobile.de for prices between 3000 and 4000 €

Good luck!

R1UK,

Just think to yourself.....If I were in Toronto (Canada) right now, I would be digging out from 5" of snow and runnig out of gas (yea we have a gas shortage at the moment). The snow on my front yard is 4 feet high!!

I'll take the rain anyday. It's days like this I want to move back to the UK. With the Camaro of course!! Maybe the wife......maybe

Don't worry, I'm sure that with the doubling of road tax more money can be spent on improvements.

Re: HI from France

Magnifique!

My wife and I were in Paris a little over 2 years ago and we loved it there. Took the train up to Caen for the day, on November 11th and we didn't know everything was closed as it's a holiday for you guys haha! Only government employees get the 11th off here in Ontario, not sure about the rest of Canada.

Looks great! Even got the night rider hub caps!
