For me it's several things....

She does what it says on the tin, takes me to work and has never let me down.

She's taken me to Yorkshire and back for next to nothing to visit family and does it well in all conditions.

Most of all she has participated and several Akita rescues as a transport vehicle transporting Akitas to their new homes, both newly rescued and transportation from kennels to homes.

For a small 5 door car what more can you ask for?

Mine may not be the best looker but I'm happy with her and very proud of everything she can do Smile

I ain't nuts, I'm condiments, I've been promoted

Thats definitely a good reason right there! Mines special because she always the car to be mock for being slow or a girls car, but i sooned changed that!

I do owe alot more to the car than i give it credit for; one of that being she landed me a job at peugeot and gave me my passion for them, after the countless hours of taking her apart and putting her back together

Because I paid 11k for it and now I'd be lucky to get 2k haha

All that aside it still puts a smile on my face. Simple to work on. Love suprising people in cars worth much much more. Especially BMW tailgaters

Cheap to run, cheap to insure, cheap to repair, cheap to modify. But not a tacky car.

I've had the car since I was 18 (now 26) it was my 1st proper car I started to modify still prefer to drive my pug than my new 3 series m sport. when I drive the pug it brings back the good times,road trips and memory's. I basically grew up in this car. it's the still the same car but with more poke;-) # pugloverforlife

Learnt to drive in a 206 some 10 years ago so always had a soft spot for it.
The 8v was ok and cheap to run but the 180 is very fun to drive, catches a lot of people off guard and is a real underdog.

In 2005. They were expensive back then....

Would like to see proof of the 200 bhp. Must have throttle bodies to get to that ?

I'd say it's special to me as its my first car and a great one at that. It's had its problems (mostly age/mileage related) but it's still good fun and brings a smile on my face. It's also aged very well and it's not something that you'll feel embarrassed of driving around in.
