Well tonight I managed to finish doing the bits I needed to do to my Rallye to get her back up and running. Last time I drove her properly was to her MOT in August. I've been using my other halfs Golf TDi for the last few weeks and before them I was driving around in my caddy van till it sold. Needless to say the Rallye feels so good. Planted and fast it's so nice to be driving it again oh and of course the noise is pretty awesome aswell.

It'll be sooner than you think actually, March in fact is when she'll roll out of the garage under her own power.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Tyres are fine, I've inspected them at close range.  New genuine cambelt kit and waterpump already sat at home to be changed before she rolls out. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
