Anon Deleted Posts : Location : Status : Offline	Hi Rekord and CROESO to the "bedheads" that is welsh [like Bretton] for Welcome. as Dave S says we do have some members from France and Maurice loves coming over to our annual meets at Easter time all the way from Avignon and we are pleased to have him join us. at the moment we are also trying to get links between the French club and ours sorted out. not many of us speak French but i do try. if it carries on like this we are going to have to get translations set up for the pages. have you decided which motor to change to. the old 2.3 slant is a pretty good engine if you set it up right and we have some very good mecanie here to help you. and spares are fairly easy for it. anything we can do to help just let us know ----------------------

Maurice Mouraret is from Avignon and is a well liked member who has visited all the way to England on at least two occasions. If you study the member list you will find him number 719 I think. There are several more who write on the occasion, so make a habit please. ---------------------- We don`t stop when we get old, but get old when we stop

Anon Deleted Posts : Location : Status : Offline	thank's lot of members of the french club would like to get links with the english club too, but lot of them doesn't speak english very well. For the motor we have found a Gm 2.3 with 5 speed gearbox coming from a bedford, we know this motor rather well because we have some opel car from years with similar motors ( a 1984 diesel engine rekord and a 1991 diesel engine omega ) the only problem is to find a propshatf ,in France they a re plenty old bedford of first generation , but the cf2 part are difficult to find. the club members are often searching from brake parts ( wheel cylinders , shoes )from indicateur stalk too, and for vauxhall parts too. i'm very glad to meet other fan of this van ----------------------

Anon Deleted Posts : Location : Status : Offline	Bonjour. Welcome to the site. Most parts can be found, but some are more costly than others! It is often a case of doing a lot of searching, but once you find the part you need it is very rewarding. Have fun with your van!

Anon Deleted Posts : Location : Status : Offline	Another Frenchie ! Hi Isabelle, just noticed another Franco-owner on the site. Welcome to Bedford ownership ! PS: If anyone needs any translating done, I've been an English teacher in France for the last 15 years and can just about see my way around...

Anon Deleted Posts : Location : Status : Offline	Hello Rekord and petitrobin Are you also on http//abccf.fr ? If not, you should. By the way, I couldn't make it for the Easter meeting this year, but I hope that you will be there for the next one. Just to be more than one French family... 8) ----------------------

Anon Deleted Posts : Location : Status : Offline	Moi non plus ! Bonjour � tous, je n'ai pas encore adh�r� � http//abccf.fr parce que je ne passe pas suffisamment de temps sur le web pour tout voir - je passe la plupart de mon temps sous mes voitures. Soyez tranquilles, je vais jeter un �il. Par contre je suis all� voir l'autre site qui concerne surtout les modifications de carrosserie et des peintures customise�s, je me suis inscrit et j'ai �t� 'd�sinscrit' le lendemain car je n'avais pas suffisamment particip� aux forums... A bient�t sur bedfordcf.co.uk Sorry, in English now for all you unwashed. The two French Bedford sites are worth a look. The first, as recommended by 'rekord', is mostly for customising and modifying, with little to do with mechanical interest, although there are some nice photos on there. The other is http//abccf.fr and is a website which is mostly made up of photos and technical specs, and as such is not as active as this site. Also, the number of Bedfords in France is extremely limited. I only saw two or three in the whole of last year, and one of those had German plates. Keep up the great website, and sorry about the insults !

Anon Deleted Posts : Location : Status : Offline	Salut Petitrobin, je trouve dommage que tu ne mets pas contact� directement pour ce bl�me sur notre forum, mais plut�t en parler ici. Ton compte n'a pas �t� d�sactivit� mais surement un bl�me de serveur, juste un message automatique envoy� aux membres n'ayant post� aucun message depuis leur insciption, et a ce jour plus de 35 comptes sont dans ce cas et aucun n'a �t� d�sinscrit. De plus notre forum, ne traite pas seulement de custom,mais de tout sur le Bedford CF, d'ailleurs tu r�ponds en section m�canique essence ...... Quel image donnons nous a nos amis Anglais........ bien dommage et pas franchement comtent de lire ces propos Robert Petitrobin Hi, I find it unfortunate that you do not put not contacted directly for this issue on our forum, but rather to talk about here. Your account has not been d�sactivit� but surely a server problem, just an automated message sent to members who have posted no message from their insciption, and today more than 35 accounts are in this case and none have been opted out. And our forum dealt not only with custom, but on the Bedford FC, in fact you say in essence mechanical section ...... What image are giving us our English friends ........ Not too bad and frankly comtent read these words

Anon Deleted Posts : Location : Status : Offline	Sorry ! Sorry about that, I didn't think people were so touchy. Anyhow, have a look at the sites, they're both worth a visit, as I said before, and judge for yourselves. Robin

Anon Deleted Posts : Location : Status : Offline	Hello Blackleroc and Petitrobin, Have a look in the section "Club rallies and Events" You will see a video and some pictures of the first meeting of abccf that you just miss. By the way, one of you can probabily find a propshaft in GADE garage. They keep a sample of all the parts you can imagine. 8) ----------------------
