New Frenchie

Postby orl2036 » Sat Feb 27, 2021 10:32 am

hello and thank you for welcoming me.
57 years old, ENT doctor, located in the north of France near the Belgian border I received my Toronado 1967 in January
from California, red with vinyl top.
I have been in love with cars from your country for many years: I have driven for many years in Chevrolet Tahoe 2006, ford mustang 2010 then GT500 and now in Tesla model X
I am also passionate about the vintages that I restore, currently I keep:
Ford mustang 1968 289ci
Chevrolet Corvette C3 1972 350 ci
Delorean DMC12 1981
and the Toronado
I am sure to find advice from you that will be useful to me

I would like to put photos but each time the procedure fails because of the size: what is the maximum size of the photos supported by the forum

Good choice in cars (except for that last one) ;)

That Toro is beautiful. The color is great.

I've owned about four Mustangs - one '66, one '67, and two '68s.

I use my '66 Toro as a daily driver in conjunction with a 1956 Cadillac. I really dislike most new cars (anything built after 1972) and have never owned a modern car.

Hello and Welcome orl2036. What a great collection of cars. I have visited your little corner of the world...Beautiful! I'll be envious this Summer of your opportunity to drive that perfect '67 Toronado for a casual tour through the countryside with a quick stop in Orval for refreshment. Many Happy Travels to You!

Welcome from Detroit. Nice to see someone across the pond that admires the big, gas guzzling American v-8s. Your toro is beautiful along with the others in your collection. Interesting paint scheme on the mustang. What is the make/model of your daily driver?

On a side note, my sister owned a home in Honfluer for about 10 years. Of course being the idiot that I am, I never visited her place.

My Daily driver is a Tesla model X

The paint of my mustand is inspired by one of the mustangs prepared by ford each year in commemoration of a squadron of mustang P 51 of the second world war

Gorgeous Mustang. Beautiful. Very cool paint scheme. Have you visited the US? Sadly, I never visited my sister while she owned her place in Honfleur. I am glad you have a deep appreciation for old Detroit steel. My dad worked for Chrysler. You need to get a '69 Charger for some Mopar power:)
