Good point. You and I both had 1.4s, Sam I think as well? I think the 306 has gone beyond the point that a 1.4 was considered acceptable for an 18 year old, they're worth even less now. I imagine they get bought mainly as cheap run arounds
There were quite a few of us, you, I, Rowell, Wingnuts, Jamma, Jimmy, Gazzza, TomoP, Basher, -chapperz-, 4way, etc all had 1.4s, plus quite a few more that I've forgotten as well lol.
Then there was a few round our age with HDi's as well...wonder what happened to MadD, Burrell, Swanny, Luke, etc...
Odd how some people stuck around and other didn't, always interesting to see what people moved on to imo.

Also xud cambelt on my own car was one of my collage practicals to be a mechanic.
Lol, my neighbour had a ph2 diablo XUD when I was learning to drive, I learnt in a 1.4 eco HDi 206... Watching him try to start that bugger in the morning and knowing how unbelievably slow the 1.4 hdi was I definitely wanted a petrol!! 1.4 petrol 306 actually felt quick after the 1.4 HDi.
I'd never have moved onto diesel if it wasn't for the 306 forums though...these guys pushed me to buy my first diesel...Golf...
