Bit of an update...
Well, the BMW blew up in Geneva. I was driving out to Morzine in February for three weeks snowboarding, when I got the crossing into France the engine was running in limp mode, no power at all! About 60 miles away from Morzine the engine started to sound like a bag of spanners, and finally the engine shat itself at a border crossing. I was stuck for a while with all my tools, stuff and my dog. Managed to get one of my mates to come and get me and take me to Morzine. I had an epic three weeks, and picked up a Polo 1.4 16v with no tax or mot for 300 euros. I managed to get that back to the UK, taxed and tested and made it back to Devon.
Two weeks later the gearbox shat itself... So, that got scrapped. I had to buy a new car the same day, so I managed to find a Mk3 Golf TDI for £350, with 220,000 miles on the clock. I bought this in the middle of the night and didn't realise it was green until the next morning.

The plan now is possibly .216 injector nozzles, lowered, new wheels, wheel arch trims, rear gti spoiler and possibly new interior.
I'm joining the Navy in July, and as soon as I pass out of phase 1 in October, I plan on buying another 306. Will more than likely be another GTi-6.
I genuinely cannot wait to own another 306, I've missed them so much!
