It confused me a bit indeed! Had an old 'feel' to it. 

 
I do like the 206, never drove the GTI but the 206 is a lovely car really. 306 I never drove either but I owned a ZX and I think it's a gem. Pity about that wonky rear axle.

 
The time is now!

So picks the car up tonight, and the seat looks great. Yay! The joy was short lived as the fucking airbag light came on 2 minutes into the journey ? FML

Mazda 323 got a run out in the sun today, following yet another washing/polishing sesh...

 
Really should post in the 'buying from other 'shiters thread, this is ex Uncle Fester, who was an absolute top geezer to buy from.

 
Then it was my old(ish) Audi's turn, after another 250 miles of Scottish road salt...  

 
 
 

 
Got some polish on it today, actually quite pleasant up in the highlands just now.  Stripped out the bootlid liner, found water seeping through some old sealant that had been applied by a previous owner, it had gone brittle and fallen off.  Replaced that, and drilled drain holes in the bottom edge, so that should* be that sorted.  Waiting for payday to get the service stuff together, will feel better about blasting up the bypass following an oil change.
Trabant is looking neglected, so will turn my attentions to that soon, might make for some more interesting postings anyway!
 

@paulplom I don’t know the exact spec but if it’s that low I’d be banging in any 5/30 synthetic I could find -or anything else if not - and provably sorting an oil and filter change in the not too distant future 

I fancy this I'm in lanark  when it on if I'm welcome

Anyone fancy a trip a bit closer to Scotland from Swindon with a 205.
@Unclefester is interested in my 205 but struggling with the logistics.
It's got test on it but is currently Sorn.

That Fluence that started at a grand went for £1,750 in the end....

Anyone assist getting this near glasgow by any chance 

That’s pretty smart actually.
“it certainly surprises people when you open the bonnet.” Friend, it’s an Alfa Romeo. Nobody is ever going to be surprised to see you open the bonnet.

We had 4 cars in the household fairly recently, 3 mine and 1 the wifes. I found having to keep them all running very stressful, buying cars is great fun but once it's sitting outside along with the others reality bites. tax insurance MOT servicing etc etc. So I sold a couple and am now down to 1 car each which is perfect, but I still sit on the for sale section every day on here looking at buying the next piece of old shite. I don't know why I do it to myself

Miss it already lol was a pleasure too meet you and your boys both fine gents may i add.  So please it will be your lads first car he was so pleased.

First wheel arch plastics removed for cleaning.... I don't think we've ever had a car this clean underneath!
 

Cheers lads, it really is a lovely motor, one of those cars I've instantly taken to.  It is indeed a 2.0 turbo, auto gearbox. Feels a lot quicker than the stated 154hp,  MOT history is immaculate. It's been well looked after.  And yes, all my cars will stay in the fold if I can help it! 

That looks great man, well acquired. Love the colour. 

Some more Saaaaaaaaab sex since I'm meant to be working, I believe this has history with members on here? Would love to know more about it if so 


 

The new steering wheel arrived for the Astra yesterday to replace the nasty leper one that was fitted
 

 

 

 

 
Much better
 
Also it's the first steering wheel I've ever removed with a T50 torx bit too rather than a proper nut
