Great car!

I lived in Grenoble France from 2003 - 2006 and met my wife there (she is french). Please send me a private message or email if you ever have questions in french and need them translated.

Just for giggles I checked on the franc/US exchange rate, farthest back I could go was 1990. At that time the 65,800 franc exchange was 11,395. Really not that bad. Im wondering if they had other fees that werent on the sticker shown here.

Thank you.

I should explain why I disappeared for months.
I had money problems, I had to separate myself from the Mustang! I sold it to my father. But I went to the garage a month ago and I realized it did nothing! She has not moved all that time.
I broke down and I recovered. Now she's home. It's easier to work.

Here I hope you understand my absence and I would not let the Miss # 1268!

Currently I think about the color of the hood. I know it should be black ... Do you know if the site selling parts still works?

Bonjour Geoffrey, je n'avait jamais lu ton post a l'origine. Je viens tout juste de le lire pour la premiere fois. Tres belle trouvaille que tu as fait. Je te souhaite bien du plaisir avec cette McLaren. La mienne est une Capri 1986 et j'adore les balades le toit ouvert. Comme tu peux le lire je suis de langue française et peut t,aider au besoin. Je suis du Quebec et je lis régulièrement sur ce site. Bienvenue dans le monde méconnu des ASC McLaren. En passant le toit est unique a ces voitures comme Sandy te l'a expliqué, j'ai remplacer le miens avec une de ceux vendu par ascmclaren.com .

I don't speak or undeerstand French. I have a heard enough time with English !!

I do not speak English, but apparently I can wrote to let me know!
My language teacher at school can be proud.

What do you think of the document Sandy!? It is a simple black and white paper. But I may be able to use it for my approach?

Geoffrey I'll speak english for the purpose of the post here. Is your transmission not shifting in fourth at all or slipping when it engage. The AOD are flimsy on the overdrive if not used gently. The overdrive band is easy to replace for a good mechanic as it is the first one behind the pump and you don't need to put all the transmission apart.

Actually I think that's German, Sandy. Not French.
