Oh awesome! That's good timing eh?! ;)

If you need help with any decent locations let me know? Plenty of places to go if you're looking for something other than a service station. :)

I don't believe I am. I've put a request for the Gwent area but no reply yet.

And that road would be covered by the 'Dyfed' rep ... When there is one. :P

Anybody know when people are going to be area reps.

I love car hunting, call me sad but I love it when a friend asks for car advice and wants me to go test driving cars for them because they know nothing about them. :lol:

First car of mine was a Peugeot 309 1.9D ... Ugly as sin but absolutely LOVED it. Filled the tank to the brim when I passed my test at 12:45pm ... By 10pm the fuel light was on. For a car that did 50mpg that's a record in my eyes!!! :lol: Had to sell it after I lost my job though. :(

2nd car was a Mk3 Vaxuhall Astra bought for £350 ... Scrapped after a month so I don't really count that.

3rd was my Focus ... All know about that.

4th is yet to come! ... And I've only been driving since June 2008. <_<

OMG ... I'm a rep! Must say thank you to Dan now! Oooh I'm chuffed. :lol:

Aww mate, it was my pride and joy. It was washed top to bottom 3 times a week, and kept in the garage covered up every night.

It was basic motoring at it's very best ... It didn't even have an intermittent wiper speed (it was either on ... or off). But it was a scream to drive. And suprisingly big instide. :o

get another one!!

get another one!!

I'd love to but they are getting on a bit now. And it's hard to find a decent one, I was very lucky with mine (1 owner from new who was an elderler local gentleman, K reg which meant it was a very late model, FSH, abs immaculate and only had 64K on the clock).

But I won't find another one like that, maybe in the future when I got some spare cash I'd consider a GTi 309 as a restoration project. :)

I would love an old pug as a restoration project, i have ALWAYS had a soft spot for the 205, no matter what spec. lovely, lovely cars. My aunty had one for years in white wit clue denim-like seats, lovely little car!!!

I have a soft spot for old Pugs I must be honest, anything 306 and older. Love the 205s! Deffo one of my faves, my dad used to have one on an Irish plate (GDZ 7383) as a small run around after he got rid of his Citroen BX. Was a lovely car, very basic again. It was only a 1.1 "Look", but I do believe also it was the first car I ever driven ... At the tender age of 10. :lol:

Niiiice, my dad used to have a Citroen BX as well!!

White with the hydraulic suspension, dead nice car that was!

I'm looking on Auto Trader for 205's, if only!!!!

My Dad had a B reg one, it was a phase 1 shape with some rather strange features, and I've never seen one since. Very rare, he'd probably get a fair few bob for it now I would've thought if it was still in the same nick. I loved it, so comfortable!

205 1.9GTi. ;)

I think my dad's was a G or J reg??? it was white with a diesel engine!

I would love one one day, any 205. If the Fez broke now it would be one i'd consider, the only problem would be getting one that would also be able to have my private plate on it, there is only one 205 which is an m reg on AT!

I love the fiesta mk1 and mk2 love the smell of leaded petrol reminds me of my clio :D

Our's was a white diesel too. :lol:

I'd go back to an old Pug if it was decent too.

Oh I didn't realise that, would be hard to find one that could have your plate. Hmmm, what a dilemma! 205 or PP?! :o

I love the Mk1s! I like all Fiestas really except for the Mk2 and Mk3s ... I despise the Mk3s for some reason.
