Joined the dark side... Hopefully not for long!
« on: 12 January 2014, 10:49:30 pm »
Well, it had to happen sooner or later!

Bought my new cage today. That's what will be lugging my backside in and out of work whilst I fix up my ZX...  :'(

It's a Peugeot 106, 1.5L diesel. In speedy silver....

Photos tomorrow (if I can be arsed). So if you see a Peugeot 106 on the road, for foc's sake, be careful, it might be me!!  :eek :eek :eek

I had one of those! And I bloody LOVED it!

Great little car.

Ironically, I crashed it!!!  :rollin

(In my defense, some dickhead overtook me and then slammed on their brakes.)

Still getting used to the offset pedals, and general smallness, but other than that It's pretty nice (for a cage).

And they call ME Merv the Swerve! :eek :lol

General smallness. Feck me, a Rolls Royce would be small to you. Just like a 106 is stretch limo motoring for me.

Ahah! I had one of those as well as my first car! Had it in red, it was a great little car. Underpowered but it should last a while... though this is you we are talking about...

I look forward to seeing it (hopefully) next month - should bring back some good nostalgia ^^
