On the 8th of this month I had had my 306 for four years and am in love with it more than ever ![Inlove Inlove](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/inlove.gif) A few months ago it was starting to get me down a bit, the exhaust mani was leaking resulting in a horrendous racket and little power, the radiator needed replacing, the radio was broken, the paint hanged (okay, it still does), but one by one I have completed these jobs over a period of about 4 months. Now I got an (almost) proper car again! Livin' the dream ![Smile Smile](https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/smile.png) Now I can finally get stuck into some proper tuning. I know people have given up on cars for a lot less! Tell us how long you have owned you're 306's then.

Firstly someone change the title to - How long have you had your 306?
lol, irritating me now.
Anyhoo, I've had 306's for a total 4 years i think it's worked out as. My current Rallye i've owned since August last year.

6 years? Damn, I always thought you were a noob for some reason. Is that a 205 in your sig? I could have sworn you switched to a 205 awhile ago lol.
It amazes me how many different cars ppl have owned on here lol! I haven't had a chance to extract the full potential of mine yet but then I have never had a full time job at the age of 23 so that's not helping me with my 306 modding ambitions!

Had my current one for 2.5 years, got my first one in Feb 2010, have had four in total plus a zx. Love for them has never lessened in that time, so daresay i'll stick with them a while yet.

You'll find that as you grow to like them you'll always be criticizing your 306 saying something like:
- "The bodys shabby, it could do with a reshell.."
- "It has this unidentifiable problem, needs a new engine.."
- "Think my heater matrix is leaking.."
You'll then begin to try and obtain the most up-together 306, which ofc we all know is the true quest of any 306 veteran.
