Indeed it is, the 306 is a fragment of what it once was. The sad truth is that the Japanese have won me over for the time being.

Yeah the old girl is still here, the engine is 50% dismantled, just got to find the time to finish overhauling the head.
Shortly after FCS last year the HG started blowing, hence why I got the MX5.
I start my grad job soon though, with a 70 mile commute, so am very tempted to go for a Merc E300 OM606. Veg power ftw.

you're not too far from me; i wouldn't mind popping up if i have the time/money/fuel if you need a hand.
but an early merc sounds good! you could even get a euro spec on it

Euro spec lols. It would be for commuting only so I may go for the 'old man' spec.
I may well take you up on that offer over Summer, as I'll have a 3 week siesta in between jobs to crack on with it. Obv I would cover your costs. You would have to be careful though, we have traffic here on the mainland, not sure if you're familiar with that concept on the Island?

Ahh you've finally joined civilization, where electricity and running water are not considered 'magical'.
