Five long, ardous years - 306Puggy - 08-05-2014
Guess what it has been five years since? Yup, you guessed it, the purchase of my beloved 306 XTdt, my first and only car and the third car I have ever driven
Here's the proof:

Sorry about the lack of focus on the photo.
So I have been part of the 306 community for roughly the same amount of time (I first registered my username on theywhoshallnotbenamed in April 2009 to ask questions about the 1.4 I so nearly bought).
And after half a decade of owning my 306 I have spent thousands over the years modding and learning mechanics on it and cleaning it and repairing it from when I crashed it in the snow back at the end of 2010.
It is an amazing car, always been very reliable despite me learning on it and I can sure as hell say I wouldn't have wanted to be stuck with the 1.4 now!
I have been accused of trolling as early on as my first few threads back on .net but I never was trolling. After relentless accusations I decided, "What the hell, if the shoe fits wear it" and did deliberately troll on occasions and enjoyed it as well. It was a laugh and I am such a sociable guy when I feel comfortable with people.
Anyway back to my beloved 306 I really want to commemorate the anniversary by slapping on a decent blower as most of you know now around here
Feel free to comment on my legacy on this thread if you will, this is a sociable thread for anyone to talk about me. The next one will be for my beloved's 20th birthday
Yes I am a ridiculously sad git who needs to get a life, I know

It's a shame you've decided to orstracise yourself by behaving in that way really, although people do give you a hard time often without justification. Congrats on your 5th cake day.
RE: Five long, ardous years - bigcheez2k3 - 08-05-2014
You're certainly a strange one.
RE: Five long, ardous years - Dum-Dum - 08-05-2014
Fair play mate. Don't think I've ever owned a car for more than about 2 years. Wont be long and you'll of owned that car for a quarter of your life!!!
RE: Five long, ardous years - 7057sam - 08-05-2014
Well done I think would of choose a loaded gun then own my rallye anymore (was 3 years ish) just got sick and tired of it breaking.
Though I have really got back into to 'living for the 306" atm, long may it continue

Hear 'dat!
But yea, don't care to think how long I've been rocking around in 306s either - too long probably! It's good to reminisce about the old days on .net before it all went pear-shaped, had some good times with the folks I've met over the years.
You won't beat Dee for years of ownership of the same car though!
RE: Five long, ardous years - 306Puggy - 08-05-2014
Hmm, Liam removed my bit about the girlfriends thread. Why are people sensible to the point of being boring I wonder? Oh well.
RE: Five long, ardous years - padge - 08-05-2014

Theres a few I could pick from.
Bit of an odd OP I must say, but fair play for making an effort. Not that it will last long ofc...

Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has them. My opinion was that what you wrote was inappropriate, so I removed it.

I saw it before the edit and I agree.

I don't understand what's going on?!
RE: Five long, ardous years - 306Puggy - 09-05-2014
Well, decided I would commemorate the five year anniversary of my beloved with some photos. I have had this for five years now and they have really taken their toll. Only recently I have clocked 160k miles on it, it was 128k when I bought it so I have done 32k miles in it and that is all my solo driving experience so far.

You can see the front bumper is the one I bought from Euro Car Parts for 80 quid and had to manually chisel all the masking tape off. Then I paid 40 quid for some fog light hole blanking plates from Peugeot only to find out they were the wrong ones and it was a special order so they wouldn't accept them back. So I had to bodge them into the bumper as best I could which is my the bumper looks such a mess. I couldn't find a standard turbo bumper for love nor money so I have had that crappy Euro Parts bumper on since the crash.
What a sexy booty:

And the rally car like interior:

I paid 120 pounds of my hard earnt student loan for those half leathers
Had to do a 30 mile round trip to pick them up as well. When I told people on here how much I paid for them they went mental. What other options did I have though? Story of my life 
Anyone else feel free to comment or talk about me if you wish
RE: Five long, ardous years - Mattcheese31 - 09-05-2014

RE: Five long, ardous years - Dum-Dum - 09-05-2014

RE: Five long, ardous years - Jimbo - 09-05-2014

I remember when I had my 106, did SE London > Welwyn Garden City > Kings Lynn > SE London for some 106 Quiksilver seats because they were cheap
Using phone Satnav which was terrible and ran out in Cambridge, cue me franctially going around the services looking for a charger.
RE: Five long, ardous years - laurence_13 - 09-05-2014
I drove to a 400 mile ish trip to look at a peugeot I didn't buy in the end... and just got some speedlines lol

That's a marathon + four miles...people can literally run that far in a few hours.
RE: Five long, ardous years - Matt - 09-05-2014
The wheels without the centre caps look awesome!
Five long, ardous years - Ben Jay - 11-05-2014
I did a 180 round trip to pick up a boot lid and door...
And I drove to Bristol and back (from north east London) to pick up my half leathers
RE: Five long, ardous years - ginge191 - 11-05-2014
I did a 120mile round trip, in a 6, to get spare parts
Does puggy really think his shit don't stink; somehow needing to share how amazing he isn't
RE: Five long, ardous years - Piggy - 11-05-2014
30 mile ROUND trip?! So 15 mile either way.
I have to do more than that to do my supermarket shop each week!!
RE: Five long, ardous years - Seb_Ryan - 11-05-2014
I do 36 round trip to work everyday.. lol, we drove 800 mile round trip well just over to pick up our dog lol
RE: Five long, ardous years - C.A.R. - 11-05-2014
I went to the Isle of Wight just to buy my Celica...
But yea I guess the point we are making here is that 30 miles is nothing for parts!
RE: Five long, ardous years - Kezzieboy - 11-05-2014
*arduous.
And I'm the same, just coming up to 5 years with my 306, bought it at 16 (21 now) and still yet to find a car worth replacing it with for similar money!

Thats the point I took from it too. Cheap parts aren't cheap if you spend all day and a tank of fuel driving the length of the country to pick them up.
Also I guess hes a bit Tom like, doesn't get out much, if he's only done 32k in 5 years, thats just over 6k a year.
RE: Five long, ardous years - Jtrigga - 11-05-2014
I had 2 sigma bumpers you could of had for free they where d turbo ones but you never got back to me.
