Newbie here. Pics of old XUD and new HDI - Joe306 - 24-01-2014
Hey I'm from Northern Ireland, 17 and already onto my second 306.
This is my old XUD
![[Image: OGfBWLb.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/OGfBWLb.jpg)
This is the cleanest pic I have of that car because the first day I drove it the engine loom melted due to dodgy fuel pump wiring from previous owner and when I got it back from getting the new engine loom fitted I got a bit carried away and wrote her off at top end. Hit a big stone pillar and smashed it into pieces.
Here it is after the crash

Really miss that car. It was a Meridian and had the real nice half leather seats and wood dash. It was just so nice to sit in.
Anyway I had to claim insurance because the guy who's pillar I hit claimed £2,500 off me... w**nker...
So when the money came through I got an HDI, my current car. Got it completely standard.

Its still pretty much standard except for that I've colour coded the roof spoiler. Alloys in the process of being resprayed and looking into mapping etc.
This is what I imagine in will look like by summer

No more silly driving in this one though, too scared of writing off again. Thanks for reading

F**k that your lucky to be alive!!
RE: Newbie here. Pics of old XUD and new HDI - Joe306 - 24-01-2014
Yeah that's true. It put the fear in me anyway lol.
I had a friend in the car at the time. He had a broken arm after but was very cool about the whole thing and I just had a sprained ankle. It was hitting 115mph before I crashed. Just lost control on a bend but managed to hold it round the bend but it was skidding like hell all over the road after the bend and it spun out and hit a pillar.

Sounds bad.
Why you'd be doing 115mph around a bend within your first year of driving I don't no.
Especially in a 306..

Well mainly just stupidity. But if there's one way that forces you to wise up on the roads it's writing off. I very rarely speed now at all and if I do it's on long straights with plenty of time for braking. Bends scare the hell out of me now. Plus I have never raced and don't intend to for a long time.

That crash must have been savage!! Welcome mate

Nice honest one.
If you are looking into mapping and want any info, let me know... I've done a number over your way now and have a guy over there doing the reading and writing.

Welcome along and that's an epic crash
RE: Newbie here. Pics of old XUD and new HDI - Eeyore - 26-01-2014
I am very surprised you came out of that crash alive. You must have been doing some to do that amount of damage to the entire car! Anyway. Put a project thread up in the project section. You should be looking at a stage 1 map to begin with and that needs no supporting mods. Then get a decat... FMIC, stronger clutch and then stage 2.
