Well we all know this car has a had a hard life, even more so since i got it! And yes, its falling apart now, it's slow, its uncomfortable, everything is stiff or clunky, it's not even cheap to run......but does any of that really matter? It looks awesome with a few subtle choice mods....and regardless of the fact the tyres are nearly bald, the tracking is a few 10's of mm's out and the wheel bearings are wobbly, it's still epic to throw around a B road - and no newer car will do either of those things anywhere near as well. So come on, this is it's last month on the road, let's give it a proper send off!

[Eeyore]

haha the the zombie estate didnt even enter! winning!

London Dan - Not a fan of the totally smooth look
PE02KHG - Truly epic but dark wheels look a bit lost.
Toms306 - It wasnt the worst car ever... but best of luck with the new one!
Johnny - Lots of work has gone into it and I love the spoiler.
Cully - This is THE car for OEM+. Epic quality of work and I love the electronics projects.

So my vote goes to PE02KHG... because putting bucket seats and doing what he has done with an estate would have been laughed at a few years ago and its made it acceptable for us to follow suit. A lot of good quality estates are coming through the site atm which makes for awesome reading!

[Jonny81191]

Gotta be Cully's for me, lots of very neat ideas and overall I really like how it looks (needs more lowness though!)

Ian's comes in a very close second

[ozonehostile]

man this is a hard one to choose!

[Curt]

It was very close between Jonny's and Ian's for me... But that interior and the Grid's

[londondan86]

My Vote has to go to Cully.

Very clean car throughout including all the interior mods which he has done although not pictured. True definition of OEM+

Really annoyed the snow has stopped me taking some decent photos of mine though

[c.gerrard]

At the end of the day, we are all chasing power..

And who's got the most of it on this list...

Jonnny.

He has my vote.

+1

[Piggy]

My vote goes to the missing estate... Pellowe

[cully]

At the end of the day, we are all chasing power..

sorry i disagree!
yes i have upped the power of mine yes id like to push it farther
but I'm not going to IMO it makes them unreliable,
i bought my car as a family car which travels to work every day so i needed MPG space and Reliability and this car fill that gap quite nicely
I'm happy with the car as is

i know all cars have there faults this car is 10 + year old so has a few more than most
but thats give is character and i think that is what everyone on this site saw when they bought there 306


oh Jonny your car would get my vote if i wernt voting for myself purely on looks alone nice clean car

[Just Sean]

everyone mods for different reasons though

[Toms306]

At the end of the day, we are all chasing power..

As with Cully, I don't agree there at all!

I voted for Jonnys on looks more than power, he's managed to make an estate that I like the look of which is a hard task lol.


I can appreciate the work that's gone into Ians but it's just not my cuppa. Cullys is well done with all the electrickery inside, but it's still a bit too OEM outside for me, could do with a splitter, debadge doors and a drop imo. Rowells isn't really started yet let alone finished so it's not really fair to compare. And I'm afraid I'm really not a fan of white cars or smooth ones, sorry Dan.

[Dave26]

I've gone for PE02KHG, I'm a sucker for wide wheels, and that interior!!

[Dum-Dum]

Cullys looks awesome on the track and ians is so un estate like but ive gotta vote for jonnys cos its one of my old cars.

[Just Sean]

i thought they were all your old cars....

[Jonny81191]

Guys I think carl was taking the mick to an extent

[kentiiboii]

As said.
I like cullys becuase its proper oem+ and stands out from the crowd for being so tidy.
Ian is awesome stands out because its really not what you expect from a estate.
Jonnys is really nice good power the mods hes chosen really suit it but I think silver is the most boring colour.
londondan its nice car love the smooth just dont think it's quite there.

So between ian and cully...
Think its got to be ians as it does look awesome can imagin it turning heads quickly

[puglove]

Again a very hard choice between Jonny & Ian for me , but Jonny gets my vote, just dont rate the grids in black Ian :/

[devils_fuel]

easy choice for me !!!

Cully has just fixed my airbag, wired in my boooost gauge and fitted my droplinks !!!!!


So cully gets my vote !

[cwspellowe]

f*cking LOL! I knew there was something I forgot to do. Ah well, wouldn't have wanted to win while i was in exile. Ironic thing is i've not even entered and it's getting talked about.

Erm, I have to vote for Ian's to be honest. Everyone knows baller wheels and a fat arse are what every 306 estate needs, and Ian's gets it just right. Yeah Jonny has a big turbo but I have bigger, so i'm not impressed

[Eeyore]

Which sad person thought that mine and Toms were worth a vote lol

[Mattcheese31]

Which sad person thought that mine and Toms were worth a vote lol

not me x

[Kezzieboy]

Ian's FTW, I'd been planning to but Rota Grid Vs on mine for ages until I saw them on his...having to think of something else now

PLUS that interior is epic winning.

[Toms306]

Which sad person thought that mine and Toms were worth a vote lol

Pity votes I reckon Tbf, mine isn't bad in pictures! It's just on the road it was a let down haha.

[Birk]

Still think mine should have been allowed in in its old form.

[Arron]

Cullys, Johnnys, londonlads and PE02's are all epic in their own way. Pellowes is just plain bonkers

But Rowells has the most potential..so my vote goes to..



Tom

[Eeyore]

I cant believe a car that doesnt exist any more is beating me!

[Toms306]

I cant believe a car that doesnt exist any more is beating me!

I feel sorry for London Dan tbh!

And it does still exist currently!! Not scrapped yet is it.

[Mattcheese31]

[Dum-Dum]

Shaping up to be another close month, closer than you'd of predicted anyway.
