We want your car!

PFC is on the hunt for the UK's finest French performance cars. So whether you drive a stripped-out Saxo, a fast-road Megane, or a 106 on throttle bodies, we want to hear from you! We're looking for fresh cars with interesting modifications that will inspire our readers. If you think yours has what it takes, then send pics and a brief spec to davy@performancefrenchcars.co.uk

What's this air-con thing you all speak of?

Does it help the suspension?

My Super High Boost has already been in PFC (Nov 2010) but yours would be a good feature too. Yes

They could almost start a collection. Cool
