Seeing as its been a few years since iv been on the forums and attending shows i thought id drop a post and see how many of the old members are still here and still driving 306's? Lets see the photos whilst we are at it.
The gti is well neglected these days, rarely makes it out the garage. But the xsi is still going strong daily ?
Its not my daily but the rallye is still around. Waiting for nicer weather to hit the roads but its just parked up on grass looking a bit sorry for itself. With the bodies it wont start in the cold as it immediately floods so its not going anywhere for now! Really need to get it mapped!
We did the euro trip last year and I think I went to work in it once last year. Drove it a few weeks but that was it. No track time apart from the ring. Organising a euro trip for this year seems to be going very slowly and we have decided it will be wales or scotland instead aiming for a bigger trip in 2020.
In the mean time the saab is on 192k and still being used daily. The RR P38 has a cracked head and is still in the garage. The beetle has a cover on in the drive until its warmer to work on it.
I'm still here occasionally but not driving 306s anymore. Last 306 daily was a HDi back in 2014. Last weekend car was a GTi6 back in 2016. I still work on 306s now & then though.

Tom good to see your still around
Ha ha, jeez - so even less than before lol. Yes we do.. has it really been that long already...?!
Ours is still going strong but has a noisy engine which is probably an injector, i may make a video with audio and post for opinions when the lad shitron is either running again or scrapped!!!!!
We would love an otherone, for the lad, its great at towing ( shitron despatch, shitron picasso ) and good on fuel.
We are looking for an other one, hdi estate 306, it just makes so much sense.

Well, my bad
As a side note the HDi is likely going to be scrapped soon'ish (I can't see anyone taking it whole) - probably towards the end of the month - possibly a couple of bits coming off it first, FMIC, new genuine MAF etc.. will make a thread closer to the time.
I'm still about, had my current 16v XSI just over a year now, but looking to move away from Pugs pretty soon and buy something different and newer. So XSI up for sale shortly.
Am sorting out a Euro Trip for June this year though if anyone wants to join

More reason to get that gti going again!
Yeah man really is! It's what made me join .net back in the day, had it since 2011 between us now! Sad times, but onwards and upwards etc..
Sure puglove can probably sort you those hockey sticks but keep reminding me!
Love these high mileage HDis that are appearing. Lus estate has done 242k!
Cully id love a nice 3 door hdi if it does ever part from your family. Then again... as much as id love one the saab is so good and I cant fit c5s in a hatch!
still got my Cherry phase 1 with roofbox, done a fair bit on her last year, replaced Bosch pump, driveshafts, starter, aux tensioner, PAS pump and lots of other bits of shit, running well at the moment though touch wood

the HDI is far from nice due to some serious botched panel repairs before we had it! these are starting to show through but the daughter still loves the car
Sold my bargain cherry rallye when my daughter arrived 11 months ago. Also recently had an epic driveway find black rallye i bought thinking it would be a rotten breaker which turned out to be immaculate underneath so i sold it to a chap in ireland. Oh and i sold the blue dci175 megane and invested in a bargain liquid yellow megane R26 which is now my current weekend car
Still got my cossack S16 and my first black rallye. very slowly been buying bits and doing odd jobs to them here and there but becoming a parent, getting engaged and moving house and with a new job has all taken its toll on my free time.

I've still got some of my collection. Got the silver estate that i can't see myself selling, currently off the road as don't use it much over the winter. Got to sort out the rear beam on it which is one of my next jobs to sort out. Got a china blue estate that i have had for just over a year which i use as my daily which has been a spot on car that i bought for £100 though i did do a reasonable about of work on it when i got it. Got the 205 which is the car i drive most over the winter but will be selling that in the spring time as don't really need it with having the china estate. The astor grey GTi6 i've got which i've had for over 2 years now i think. This will be my summer project to get that all sorted out hopefully.
I did however sell my black DT which i had had for 8 and a half years but i just wasn't using it and was just being wasted so i sold around christmas time.
Still can't see myself driving anything other than a 306 (and the 205)
