Re-intro

[MCH]

Hey guys...

I've given a half assed intro here before but kinda fell out of interest in forums for a long time...

Was a member on theywhoshallnotbenamed for years and threezerosix.co.uk before it went under...

Started off with a 306 Hdi Dturbo in black



Which I drove and loved for a long time and thought I'd never sell but then the temptation of the GTi6 grew in me (I did ponder the tuned hdi route instead but didn't)

I bought an awful 205 GTi for £250 with a blown diff that took out the bell housing when it blew... fitted a new box and sent it on for £750 (box cost me £45)



Then moved onto the GTi6 which I've had ever since and tbh there isn't really any cars beyond a 306 that tickle my fancy without costing a LOT LOT more money than a 306 so for now I'm ok with the 6...




and along the way I've killed plenty of GTi6's













So RIP to:

R39 FGJ
T689 VOU
P997 UDU
P483 RYN
P37 GJM
P550 GEC

But I did save

R121 MRX (not sure if its still alive) which I bought with a snapped belt and every single valve inlet and exhaust were bent and needed to be forcibly removed from the head.



and

This diablo, my ongoing tinker toy for when I'm bored with Piper cams and BTCC pistons... bought with piston number 3 in the sump as it had been run low on oil and had spun a shell...



the bent rod:



some of the bits I fished out of the sump!
