Well, seeing as the avensis has done £60 of fuel in 10 days I needed a diesel again..........

And I cant hide the fact that despite how crap they are on paper.....I do still live for the 306!
So here we go again........borrowed off Rowell for a few months.

You wont believe the lengths Ive had to go to, to be back in a 306, even had to drive to Hollesley (an hour from mine) this morning to get a duplicate MOT done seeing as Sam lost the original lol.
But anyway, 306 FTW!!
Forgot how direct the steering is, and how well they handle, even on the swallows lol, and the comfortableness of it too. Not a fan of its lack of power/boost though!
Its ok low speed, but not really any pull higher up, cant even feel the boost tbh, but then it is only 90bhp unless its been staged 1'd. The main problem atm is the brakes, they're shocking! Im obviously used to big brakes on cars designed for more powerful engines, but I dont remember the 1.8 (same setup) being this bad.....then again, after 30ish miles of driving, I dont think this caliper has been giving much effort!

So yeah, into double figures and back in a 306 for now. Not doing anything major to it as I'm just borrowing it, but will get a project thread on the go as theres a few bits need sorting!
