Awsome.

I concur!

I drove my Mum's F Reg Ming Blue Peugeot 309 GRD SPECIAL EQUIPMENT (that's important), which we'd had from new around for the first few years after passing my test. It eventually got binned because the gearbox gave up.

I then went to Uni. Came home in the first year and bought a D Reg Beige 1.3 GL for £100. It was an absolute shed! It was matt beige when I first bought it and the starter motor was knackered, but with a little help from Leon, we shined it up with t-cut and stuck a starter from the scrappy on it.

Don't have a photo of it, but I found a shining example on google. Beautiful colour, huh?



The brake calipers were constantly binding, so the brakes boiled after about 30 mins of driving it, but I never went further than the 20 min journey to work, so it didn't really matter. They used to smoke at the traffic lights though The cost of new callipers was well over the cost of the vehicle, so I never bothered changing them.

Despite all this, I REALLY liked driving this car. Much more so than my brother's 309 DTurbo.

Unfortunately, the car didn't do too well over the winter, and ended up like this.







So my parents binned it I still miss it now.
