Very nice, welcome to the Camaro5 family!

nice ride; are you also required to have a front tow point on your car (in the third pic)? Guess its part of the law out there?

Yes, unfortunatly we have a tons of laws here, the government try all he can to mess with petrol-head like me with taxes etc...
For example, I had to pay 3000$ for green taxe and another 200$ a year because I have a so called non-environnemental car :(

My car is my pleasure, but I have to pay for the rest of the cars in france, because ,here, 90% of cars are running on diesel and they are a lot worse for the planet, this was a choice made by the government back in the 70's and there is no turning back now

Wonderful car and it's great to see other countries finally getting the ability to buy American cars. I spent many a very nice vacation in your country and your people were always very gracious to me and my family. Drink some wine and a eat a croisant for me.

Welcome to the site! Great looking car! In that last pic I had a flash back of the Hot Wheels Camaro!

Hoping to get that one one day if GM will make it.

Becareful though, once you catch mod fever it's all over with!

welcome!

Oliv59 · 01-03-2012, 03:36 AM

Welcome Hughes,

Don't forget to look at www.forumcamaro.com , for a french Camaro forum

Beware with Vararam CAI, I'm not sure it will fit on a 2012 model.

SamHouseIII · 01-03-2012, 05:50 AM

Can you post a picture of the switch to wash the lights and the nozzle too.

Thanks, love the ride, love the tail lights!!

yugues · 01-03-2012, 10:26 AM

There is no switch, it's automatic when your headlight are on and you start your windows liquid pump ( sorry don't know the real term for this)

Ouch! I am sorry to hear that. Makes me afraid the United States is heading that direction.

Overflow · 01-03-2012, 02:37 PM

I really like those rear lights!

Welcome!

monicatomokc · 01-03-2012, 08:10 PM

The side mirrors look different too. Are those lights in the mirror??

I've been to France once for a meeting in Aix-en-Provence. Southern France is a really scenic area!! Are there speed limits on the open road where you are or do you have to go over to Germany to really open it up on one of their Autobahns??
