Back in a car

Post by pablo »

After 4 years of only having the Frontera to drive round in I really needed to get back in a car. I had started looking around to see what i fancied, could afford.

Then Alan phoned me up to say he had found a car for me and had haggled a good price for it. The fact vthat I had to ask him what car it was says it all. Anyway we went and picked it up today, even though I had not even seen a picture of it.

Bart did well and had found me a cracking little car. (He says as i'm a short arse little man i don't need a big car...cheers)

Nice little car mate :) I think Tony NOS has one of these too>

I'll be interested to see how you get on with this Paul, as I love the hotter Peugeot's.

Good luck with it pablo! A few years back those anthracite 180 wheels were worth very good money. Though there will be no more peering down on folk at the traffic lights now.:D

Nice clean looking car Pablo.
I've had a few problems with my GTi 180 but they've all been sorted under the warrentee thankfully. There great fun to throw about around town and pretty good on fuel considering there 2ltr.
The only problem I find with driving mine is I have to wear kart boots or narrow trainers as the pedals are so close together and the bottom of dash where the fuse box is, is so low.
Enjoy mate.
Tony.
