Been an age since I even looked at this forum and I've just been having a ganders.
It seems alot of the old members are still running their 206s, some very clean examples too. Good to see projects still going too, turbo 1.4.
206s seem to have gone the other way, I used to see them everywhere but they don't seem as common as they used to be and when they are they're just standard trim ones. No modified ones in Gloucester that I've seen, rare to see a 180 kicking around.
I haven't owned a 206 for a good couple of years now I'd say, owned 3 in my time, favourite being the 2.0 hdi lump which was mapped, lowered with GT bumpers. Don't get me wrong I found them fun cars to drive at the time, but what's keeping you amused?

It's cheap to run, very rarely goes wrong & you can leave it anywhere & not worry about it.

The fact I can't buy anything else.
I'm utterly bored with my 180

They're surprisingly nippy as well if you use the gears right.

Lack of funds to buy something else, a strange love for them that I can't let go of and they're fun and keep going and going. Mine ticked over to 160,000 miles yesterday and he's still chugging away

It's difficult to find clean examples of 206 gti's here in nz. Keeping mine purely cause it looks a little different from other hatchbacks

In the UK it's difficult to find clean examples of any 206 as around 80% of them have now been bastardised

Yeah I see what you mean though, mine never went wrong, 1.4, 1.6 or 2.0 hdi, never had a problem and even if it did go the sheer amount of parts available are easy.

Brick makes far to much noise, there are far more silent ways of breaking a toughened car window
