I love French shite

[af1]

Hi I don't know if I ever did give an introduction

I love French shite

My mrs thinks anything over 2 years is old and that it's logical to drop £1000s on a new car to pay £30 road tax

 

Anyway I just sold my 2006 330d through one of those we will buy your camel sites (awaiting pickup and their lower offer)

 

And am getting back Into shite

 

Despite working 50hrs plus a week I can no longer afford a yuppie motah

 

I'm not sure if what I have just purchased is shite by your standards but I know I won't be getting any how's your father for a long time

 

 

Hopefully it should be a pretty epic collection thread

 

Peace out

[Parky]

Sounds like you've washed up in the right place af1 - looking forward to the collection thread!

[burraston2006]

Can we have a clue on what you bought?

 

I reckon a Vel Satis or a Shitroen C6.

[panhard65]

It could be really really shit asomething like an '03 on megane or scenic, dci for added shittyness. Truly shit rather than shite though

[Spiny Norman]

I'll go with a white 405 with a 20p in the handbrake...

[af1]

I just couldn't resist

We like a 306 round here!  I reckon you should get a good bout of commuting out of that beastie.  Want to tell us about spec, condition and anything else you think we might be interested in?

[af1]

Well, is a 306 rallye, one of only 500 made

200 white 200 red and 100 black

 

I believe the rallye name stems back from

The talbot samba?

 

Basically it's a 306 gti-6 with a lot of *weight saving* **less spec**, for example it doesn't have electric windows, electric mirrors or air con etc.

It still has the same 167bhp 2.0 6 speed unit as a gti-6.

 

In the early '90s peugeot released the series 1 106 rallye, which was a homologation special where only 1000 were ever sold in the uk.

I may or may not have one of these too.

 

I must admit that i am a bit apprehensive to see the back of the BMW which i bought after a catastrophic failure on my 6 year old 80,000 mile mk5 golf gti.

The bmw is a great car for cruising up and down the motorway and is obscenely quick but is just a bit vague around town and not only that, it's also a bit dull looking.

 

I have owned about 5 or so 306's in my life time and this one has always been the holy grail to me so looking forward to getting it.

Nice.   I am proper jealous of that.

[wackywacerwill]

That looks and sounds top notch. Less spec is less stuff to break too so therefore ultimately more.

[320touring]

White with fuckall spec is for winners!

 

Nice purchase, enjoy!

[Junkman]

I like that hundredandumpteen PS bit.

I think a former colleague of mine had something not dissimilar. Man, that thing could fly!

[Asimo]

"Anyway I just sold my 2006 330d"

 

And  just a week after resale the engine will mutate into a random bill generator. Well done.

 

Obviously I hoped it was going to be an Avantime or a CX Ambulance based camper but a 306 2dr is as sweet as a 90s hatchback gets.

[af1]

 

I also have this!

 

Same theory but a bit more hard core!

 

100bhp 1.3 engine

[vulgalour]

Yup, that's some pretty good stuff happening there.  I too am muchly fondlebee of the French trundlepips.

[Partridge]

Now that's what I call a trade up.

[af1]

I don't suppose anyone needs anything moved from kent to South wales next week! Might make the collection thread a bit more exciting

Angyl Roper, yesterday.

Doesn't the Rallye name date back to the Simca 1000 Rallye in 1970?

[Mr Lobster]

Love Rallye Peugeots, that looks a good 'un. Still regret not buying a new 106 Rallye in blue back in '98 or whenever. 

[scooters]

Is that the AX GT? Head case of a car!...306s are splendid cars never had a rally before. The 306 IMHO is the last proper pug.

That's a 106 rallye undergoing a bit of restoration I have a thread on the owners club if you are interested

There was also the 205 Rallye of '88, with the 103bhp quad-Weber carb 1294cc as is in the early (first) 106 Rallyes - with GTI 1.6 seats but sub-GTI instruments and other interior trim plus a paucity of sound-deadening, no electric mirrors etc...

 

Sadly, it was watered down fairly quickly with the 75bhp TU3 engine (not even the 85bhp TU3S of the GT/SR!!) and approximately-GR trim .

 

In the UK, anyway; in Germany, they got the early/first catalysed 1.9GTI engine with 105bhp...

So, the we will buy your goat man is coming in an hour, bmw has had the finest of Eastern European washes and looks sparkly!

 

Looking like a bit of Wednesday to pick up the Peugeot so that leaves me two days without a car

 

National rail train app is saying over 5 hrs from my sunny part of kent to South Wales.. However that factors in an hour to get from Victoria to Paddington!

 

I'm pretty sure I have walked it quicker than that!

[af1]

Bmw of 56ness has gone

 

I'm pacing! I'm sure I have some kind of disorder! Feel trapped without a vehicle
