Just realised I've owned the black lazy f**ker 7 years today Happy Birthday.

Not the longest on here but still a long bloody time considering I'd previously been through 3 cars in 6 months due to them breaking beyond economical repair.

So to celebrate I'll mostly be on the Cheers

Congrats Jon, glad to hear it is still going well. Surprising the number of 306s still on the road considering they stopped making them at least 11 years ago. I saw 5 in only a couple of miles, including a P1 Sigma 2-door with cyclones, could have been a 6.

Had mine for just over 6 years, still soldiering on.

Considered trading it in for a 458 but decided I'd prefer to keep the superior handing and road presence of the 306.

EFA. LOL

3 years? Crazy

I'd have sorted that within the first week of ownership. Yes

I remember seeing you on your mobile phone whilst driving your blaze. That was on the M5 so I would have been working in Somerset. That job finished about April 2009 so after that sometime...

Yes it's a good thing to do, 6's are so 2000 and late. 1000 pubs in 2 years and over 500 this year so far. Not done a KML file yet but the quest was started in 1996 just took some time to get OCD on it Laugh

Anything within the red line as local but include anywhere else I go. Every pub within the red line has been visited.



You name it I'll tell you how much a pint of lager costs.

I've got to return as The Bell at Selsley is due to reopen, don't know exactly when but in October, and the Bisley House has reopened. Do me a favour and drive past The Bell and see if there is an opening date announced yet not on website yet.

You'd also changed your location from Stroud to Glos so didn't know if you still lived there.
