Bonjour Eric,

Welcome to our community. My wife and I live in Canada just north of Toronto and in the winter we live in the US - Wilmington, North Carolina. We hava a home in the south of France near Isle Sur La Sorgue and go there from time to time. I know a bit of French but my wife is fully bilingual. My business partner did exactly what you did but in reverse. He took his family to France for a year and he really enjoyed it. He and his 4 kids immersed themselves in the language and the culture and had a really great time. None of them spoke much French when they went over but they are all fluent now. They made many friends and return there a couple of times each year for visit.

Welcome and I hope your experience will be a fantastic one.

Mark

Bonjour Eric,

Bienvenue sur le site de Team Shelby! Tu trouveras certainement sur ce site toute l'information que tu désires sur la Super Snake. Plusieurs membres ont déjà fait convertir leur GT500 en Super Snake, dont quelques uns en Californie. L'un d'eux se fera certainement un plaisir de te montrer la sienne. Par ailleurs, même si tu la conserve dans sa configuration d'origine, je suis certain que les performances de ta GT500 sauront te satisfaire.

Bon séjour en Amérique!

Eric

MERCI beaucoup pour vos reponses !!

thanks a lot for all your answers. i see some of you here speak a very good french.
for the moment my travel experience is fantastic and i regret nothing today. we live only once i this is something i wanted to do. travel around the world.

i think i will have my shelby tomorow and the supersnake reservation next week.
i had a lot of sports cars before ,and some very very powerful. so the super snake will not be the most extreme i had.

some pictures of my past cars.
lotus 340R with honda superscharged engine. 300 hp for 680 kgs.
o to 60 en 3 seconds !! i had 2 of these like this


the most extreme car i had for driving on the road. fully registred in france .
westfield xTR2 200HP for 450KG


and some lotus elise with turbo engines. 300 hp for 700 kg


the shelby will be the car for highways i think. not a real trackday car..

P.... les caisses! Wow! admiratif je suis. Bienvenue pour ton retour en France, l'homologation t'attend, mais ca en vaut la peine. J'ai reçu mon immatriculation F lundi et je suis bien content.

someone above have used a translation engine, not saying who...
(because he seems to know how to use a riffle )
good try but that shows....

Belle collection de voitures à la fois légères et puissantes, certainement très agréables pour la piste. Je ne connaissait pas la Lotus 340R ni la Westfield. Cette dernière a un look de prototype, du genre qu'on pourrais voir en course d'endurance. Je suis surpris qu'elle puisse être homologuée pour un usage routier.

You will find the GT500 to be a great highway car. It is quite comfortable and a nice long distance cruiser.

[eric340R]

the xtr2 was a car register for road but very difficult to drive on it . because i had no reverse gear,and it's was to light for the road use. bumper was aslo a nightmare.

the best car in sensationwas the lotus 340r with 340R. it beat everything on the road !! and register cars on track.
a fantastic car that i sale to do my trip around the world

Congrats on receiving your Shelby. Can't do much this weekend, working both Sunday and Saturday. We'll try to hook up after you get back from your trip.

Travel safe.

Why would you need to sell? The US version complies with Canadian safety regulations and can cross the border. Many Canadian members purchased their cars in the US without problems. Quoiqu'il en soit, je te souhaites un bon séjour au Canada!

no super snake? too bad, i would imagine it would be rare in France.
