Well, I've got another one. The beigemobile was only ever temporary, could never have seen myself doing much with it to be honest other than butchering it for it's Bosch pump. Massive thanks to karl1989 for taking me to pick it up early on a Saturday morning 
![[Image: IMG_0673.jpg]](http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/annegg5511/IMG_0673.jpg)
![[Image: IMG_0674.jpg]](http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx328/annegg5511/IMG_0674.jpg)
I got it off a lass in Oldham, £460 with 9 months MOT and 6 months tax, 93k, some unusual 406 alloys, a mint interior and a decent Sony stereo. It drives perfectly except for a loose joint in the steering column and crap tyres which are the wrong size. Both bumpers are scuffed and there's some slight damage on the OSF corner to the bonnet and wing that could be easily sorted. Pulls like a monster even with just a tuned Lucas!

Plans:
- Gov-modded Bosch with ground LDA
- TDO4
- Straight-thru and decat
- FMIC
- 40mm
- Speedlines
- Phase 3 bumpers and crystals
Opinions?

I think their 15s, haven't really looked. I'm actually quite tempted to get some decent tyres on them and give them a quick spray of graphite grey, never seen them on a 306 before...

Might just give them a quick going over with a rattle can and see how they look, I'm thinking graphite or maybe bronze?

Pretty sure the ginger streak of piss (Ruan) had those for a while, and they were 15s IIRC
Tidy wheels, and a relatively tidy motor there!

To be honest I'm surprised at how good it is, £460 isn't a lot for any car with 9 months test and 3 months tax but a fairly tidy, sporty diesel that drives near perfectly...
I sold my phase 1 sigma DT for about the same and that was a shed

Yeah, I can't imagine 406's having 14" wheels? That'd be like 13"s on a 306...

Gave it a good clean today, and also a nice, smoky Lucas tune, took a video of the 30-70 but I can't get it to upload. Boosting 19psi with no issues, pulls like a monster! It'll keep me amused until I take my Bosch pump down to Norfolk to see Dan! after xmas
