Hi !
First : sorry for my English.
I'm Maxime and I'm from France.
I bought a 1990 Shuttle 4wd two days ago ! I wanted one for a long time.
I'm a real Honda fan, my daily drive is an 1999 Accord Type R (CH1), my previous daily was a 1992 EG6, it was my daily for 8 years.
And I love Toyota to, I've got a nice "two-tones" AE86 HB... My never ending project !
Now I've got A LOT of work to do on my EE4, the car is VERY used. ^^
I'll post pictures in the "members rides" section.

People here prefers the "Sports cars" in the Honda range, there is a lot of CRX, VTi (EG6 and EK4), ITR... Shuttles are considered as ugly cars
THANKS FOR THE BOARD !!
I just joined from Wisconsin in the USA.
I'm curious, how much is gas in France?
Congrats on the family!

Prices change everydays, here you can buy SP95 (95 octan) or SP98 (98 octan), of course SP95 is a little cheaper. My Shuttle and my AE86 can run on SP95 or 98 but My Accord Type R run on 98 only (like some sports cars : BMW M3).
I put 95 in the Shuttle, 98 in the AE86 for little better performance.
The price change every day, today :
Price for 1 liter :
SP95 : 1,220€
SP98 : 1.236€
Conversions:
1 Gallon = 3.79 Liters
1 US$ = 0.68 €
Price for 1 Gallon :
SP95 : 6.809 US$
SP98 : 6.897 US$
I pay about 70€ to fill the Tank of the ATR = 103 US$ (!!!)
For the Shuttle about 55€ = 80 US$ (!!!)
Consequence: there is a lot of diesel powered cars here, the Diesel/Gazole is cheaper (less taxes) : 1 Liter = 0.990€
I remember, some months ago the price rised to 1.5€ per liter for the SP98... OUCH !
I see some from the French guys on the UK CRX forum and I know you guys have it hard from the law on modifying if you listen to them :twisted:
Still you are cheaper on petrol and diesel than the UK so think lucky!!
Here more than 80% of the price are taxes...
Here it's difficult to modify cars, because everything is "outlaw" from mufflers to coilovers :shock: ... So I decided to live outlaw, LOL !
