Bought my XS in March 2011 (my 4th 306 and second 1.8 16v) got it for £750 and the gearbox packed up a mile down the road - gutted. After 100 miles on an AA truck, 2 weeks of it sitting outside the house, a trip to Oxford for a gearbox and a local garage picking it up it had cost me an additional £400 - wheeey! lol
Never mind.. here's how it looked when we went to get it..

A good clean and polish, Gearbox sorted, decent service (non cambelt) and driving it down to my new home in Devon - May 2011

Since then, just been driving it! Had two new tyres, an MOT (brake lines) and a cat! Put my sub and cd player in, sprayed the badge matt black, removed the XS badges from the doors...
Took it to the Devony meet, pictured here with a few Devon/Cornwall yocals that you may recognise...

Quick and silly vid from the same day..

So, getting coilovers verrry soon hopefully (they're on my christmas list for santa)
Hopefully be able to go nice and low at the front (at least to the bottom of the coils) then stick on a Gti-6 Splitter and probably some 50 profile decent tyres!
In the future.. airbag gti leathers, black masks, rallye blanks, decent induction system and possibly a 4-2-1 mani! Oh and a fresh cambelt (done 152k with no history...
Never mind.. here's how it looked when we went to get it..
