Hi All

Im Shimmey69 also known as Jake I live in farnborough always been a petrol head, only just came accross pistonheads so thought i would come say hello.

I currently drive a classic super hatch, a Black Peugeot 205 Mi16 with some mild engine work at present, ie cams and ecu remap, but throttle bodies should be fitted over winter owned it about 3 months and it been great fun!!

Dont worry its not a chav mobile, body work is standard best way in my it lowered, but it came like that, but boy does it go when it wants, handles like a dream

Hope to meet up with some of you soon for some fun driving.

Jake

Hi and welcome to this bit of PH

I work in Farnborough quite a bit and have lived in the area for about 11 years, even had a 205 gti 1.9 a few years back and so regret selling it, non sunroof version, black, 33k miles and 1 owner, went to a collector in Ireland for reasonable money but silly me, I loved it! Great cars my fantasy garage includes one with the 16v conversion.

Welcome from another mi16 owner here! Would be great to see the car at one of the many meets that happen around the area. Mine unfortunately is still being un-chavved so I keep it hidden in the garage and only let it out for a few trackdays.

As you've quickly realised, the area has lots of people and regular meetings and although i'm also fairly new, everyone's made me more than welcome each time I turn up!

Hello wavey

Always lots going on here, but a large amount of it does happen in the pub.
Which reminds me... Is anyone around Friday?

well you defo win on the most active forum and i will beilieve you on the most pub active ones aswell!!

thanks for the warm welcome and hope to see you all soon,

and yes peugeot missed a HUGE trick by not putting the 405 mi16 lump in the 205 as it pisses all over the boxster i used to have, was a fraction of the price, and is better made as it doesnt fall apart at the first sign of having a heavy right foot!!!!!!! (crosses finger and prays nothing happen to my pug now) redface)

Welcome! I'm a hot-hatcher too, although mine's a bit lardier (guess that's what over 15 years of safety tech does) and a bit less powerful.

Hope to see you at a meet or on a hoon soon.

I'm in (providing I'm around). So what do we have: 130i, Swift Sport, Clio 172 and cup, 205 Mi16, Civic Type R, Audi S3...

Also, I'm just sorting my brake lines with Monster Sport.
