Back in the day I had several fun years of GTI-6-ownership before selling it to fund an S1 Elise for a few years. Then along came set of twins and the fun-budget took a hefty chop and practicality became the name of the game! So after investing in a family wagon and some dabbling with other hatches as second cars I ended up back here a few months ago toying with the idea of going back to a 6 or Rallye for some fun/practical motoring without the depreciation costs and fluffy extras that come with more modern cars. I then happened upon my old '6 for sale 5 years after I'd sold it, but just missed viewing it before Carl sold it. So I kept looking and now I am the proud owner of a lovely red Rallye. I'm loving it so far and just starting to stretch its legs after the previous owner rebuilt the engine. On the back roads it really is a real hoot and it just feels right to be back in a 306 again! The paint work could do with a bit of love, and there are a few other bits and pieces I'm intending to improve a bit, but mechanically it is in great shape and I will be keeping it very much standard.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello before I start posting daft questions, so
(I have already worked out how do a search though, so I'm sorted with that bit!
)Will.
