Best and worst 306s ever

[Orta]

So most of us have been around the 306 scene for a number of years and have seen a great many cars in various guises. I think back now to all those mint '6s in 2005/6 when I first got my dturbo with only 30k on the clock and not a rapper amongst 'em. They were inspiring and probably formed my love of 306s to this day.

But then you used to see a lot, still do but less often, those max power cars or diy "let's clear halfords out and stick it on my car" cars and they make us laugh now.

So I've gone back over some old pictures that I've said over the years and 306s, good and bad and have attached them here. Anyone else want to share?

Don't forget the v6 one that was on top gear with subaru rear lights!

[Pete]

The white Rallye belongs to Ben though he doesn't get on the forums much these days..still alive and doing fast road/track duties though AFAIK!

The Black 6 (BUK) was mine rear ended someone and broke it for parts waaay back now, The yellow 6 belonged to Chris Pellowe got broken for parts. Remember the other black 6 from way back aswell belonged to a guy from Cornwall always loved that car aswell as the blaze you've posted.

Spotted a standard black 6 in Tescos car park on Friday made me want another one. Prefered my old phase 1 6 over the black one though regret selling it, Its a track shlaag in Scotland now last I knew of it.

My old phase 1, I only had that just shy of 2 years, It was a great car for about a year, then the horrors started to pop up! The roof was full of bodge, so when that started to fail, I got shot of it. But the horrors didn't end there! Some one bought it and brought it back to sunderland and decided to shove a nasty chav kit on and paint it MG ZR yellow!
I tell you every time I saw that car, I always said I should have scrapped the bastard! Anyway it was past on to a few more owners, I think it got to the point where it had 5 in the spate of a year, also it had another engine dropped in it at about 100k, I bought the car when it was 79k and got shot when it had 84k on, so I didn't clock that many miles on it. One thing I found, it was a very smokey engine at start up. It had been f*cked with pump and boost wise, but it wasn't done properly, as it would take off in reverse! I found that out the hard way when I put the rear quarter into a post!
But I did have a good year with the car mind, the kick off the turbo was pure additive! last time I saw the car was on Ebay, it was going for a 150 quid down wigan so it had moved well out of sunderland and out of the north east.
I think its now a tin of beans as it never sold, and the car looked well tatty. It was in better nick when I had it but it was a state still.
Here is a few photos of it, Procta back in the day you might aswell say.


the angel eyes, ( A bad upgrade that was)







That's the only photos I think I have on photo bucket of it, Would I own the car again, from what I know now, then yeah I would. But it would have be repainted a different colour!

The black phase 1 DT with the fondmetals was KrisB's originally. In the picture you have it was Jake's, up until a year or so ago but sadly it is no more

[Matt-Rallye]

Ants red rallye PEU is dead now too absolutely loved that car!

[r3k1355]

All of my 306's have been pretty good.

In that I bought them cheap, put tens of thousands of miles on them and they always started first time.

[Orta]

Sam's old black Rallye was epic as well...

[Dodgy Bob]

One of the 306's that got me hooked back in the day was a MG Trophy Blue Cab that was a cover car on Fast Car, bloody lovely it was, and the colour suited it down to the ground. Think I remeber seeing it on eBay after it suffered a rear end shunt shame. Always wanted a cab but not got round to it yet, and there's just something about Trophy Blue too especially when it's poished up.

[S16]

Some beauty's there. Nice

[Owen_G_]

I want that black phase1. Looks so good on them wheels

[Jimmy306uk]

Probably my favourite ph1 not sure who's it is though

[Toms306]

That was Stephen's I think.

[Orta]

Christ that's glossy paintwork for a p1!

[Orta]

Love this '6 as well! It's had sum new wheels since and brembos which do look awesome but I love it in this pic: it just looks so smooth, clean and simple. "I'm modified, but you wouldn't know it unless you know cars" it says to me.

[welshpug]

I think only the yellow ones does it for me, the rest are typically wayy too f*cking low, or too large on wheelage.

the blaze looks lovely in that light, but again, too much wheel.

I miss my blue cabriolet. I recon that was probably about as good as it got for the cabriolet, engine aside (it was a 1.8). It was fully colour-coded, everything worked (it didn't have AC!) and the previous owners had spent a fortune on it - I just maintained it. Heated re-upholstered two-tone leather interior was my favourite part. And the colour-coded brakes!

Save for the cannon out the back.. I'll agree.

Agreed, never liked it. Polished-up well though. It would have been a pain to swap out for a sensible oval as the bumper had been cut to accommodate it
