Title: G'day from the UK !
Post by: RobboW on May 15, 2025, 11:17:14 AM
Yo friends and riders,
Old fart here just retired and got me a 1990 1200 3cv model thats had a weary and uncared for life.
Been standing outside in UK weather for 5 years after the owner died.
It's tired, corroded, rusty, dirty, and generally a fun project for a while to get tidy and running properly.
Hopefully I'll glean some tips and stuff looking through here.
Good to say hi to all...
Rob... 66 and getting older.

Welcome Rob, happy you found it here. You will find us a wealth of knowledge and willingness to share it. This forum also doubles as out digital campfire. For the times between rallies and rides when we meet up.

Welcome Robbo - we've communicated a bit on your FB messages/posts about the FJ issues you've encountered. This is another great place for info and advice.

As you're in the UK, why not also join the UK FJOC, Phil Hacker is another great source of info for members and it never hurts to have more sources.
