I've gone French again. Picked up my new hoon mobile a few weeks ago from our very own Mr Chips. Its pretty mental drivingbiggrin

Hope to do a few trackdays next year as well as plenty of breakfast runs on a Sunday. Feels like an age since I've done any of that now.









As you can see, the perfect car for a trip to Tescos.

Ohhhhhh yes. I'd really like one of these - I imagine you would be hard pressed to have more fun on a B Road than if you were in one.

Just opened this whilst half-watching the Wheeler Dealers where they do a white 205 GTi - coincidence or what! That looks so, so much fun driving

I miss it already!!! Glad to see it go to a good home and stay local. I've put a lot of work into the car over the years but unfortunately the Tuscan rebuild costs meant this had to go.

I think the best thing about it is the ridiculously good noise that the peashooter exhaust can make at high revs so it's definitely a good Hoon machine!

Oh, and first dibs on buying it back if u ever sell on smile

Took it out for a spin this morning on the Ockham Common 'Dash to the Coast' route. Way too many cyclist/horse riders/Sunday drivers out to really have fun unfortunately, but still an enjoyable way to spend part of the bank holiday.

Dave - The IACV seems to be operating correctly now. New head unit works nicely too. Not that I can hear it properly on the motorway! Oh well, it nice when sat in traffic wobble
