This particular 406 was brought into the fold by prepace, he bought it from the original owner back in the summer, then I bought it from him. Its a lovely example.

davehedgehog31 Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 So part one complete. To recap. I nipped over to pick this beast up. Felt weird driving away a car with no exchange of reddies. I was on strict instructions from the new owner: Who was I to argue? A hastily arranged meeting was had with Loserone of this parish where we compared ew10 engined Peugeots in the form of his 206 GTi. Sure Mike would agree the 206 is a tad scruffy outside, but drives far better than you'd think, tight as a drum and always feels eager with its sharp throttle. Pleasantly surprised. Like I've said, 406 is a very different animal but fine for it. A very capable car for eating up the miles as it will do on delivery South to its anonymous lucky new owner on Saturday. Cruise seems an odd omission but reckon it could be added. Got home a long time after I should have thanks to EVERY FUCKING MOTORWAY in the West of Scotland being shut. loserone, Tickman, Wingz123 and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Couple of snaps from my part in this collection thread: 206 goes to Glasgow: Shit supper in Bearsden (should have taken @davehedgehog31 for a curry. Next time.) No sunroof, not suitable for @tonedepear Nice little run out for the 206. It's fucking ace, I hope it does OK for its MOT.

davehedgehog31 Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 So part 2 of this is well underway. Currently at Todhills. Excellent economy over 15 miles of spirited country A road, then a solid 70 on the m74. The new owner might have to prize the keys off me, I've really settled into this thing well. Making me want to go and bring the 405 out of hibernation. Jim Bell, Lacquer Peel, The Moog and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
