after a couple 1.1 saxo/106s my old AX GTi and ph1 Dtub started a bit of a passion for 80's/90's french cars ... i miss em both

the GTi got a little 'played with', then got a little bent and scrapped

a lovely (albeit scabby around the edges) 2000 Diablo HDi 'D turbo' 3dr
so far im quite impressed. it is already giving me naughty thoughts
it will be going into daily duties shortly (needs a wheel bearing first) and if it behaves itself for a few weeks (MOT due end of Aug) i may plan a trip to Pro Steve and a good tidy up.

so yeah, thats me. im an idiot that currently has a 106, 206 and 306 and a 16v AX that i really ought to do something with

.... and if im not under a frog .... or helping friends with this kind of nonsense

this spent the last year or so doing a 60 mile round trip to work in bristol and while it was very entertaining (particularly in the wet), the 28-30mpg was difficult to live with. heres hoping the HDi can do better Big Grin
