[LEIGH-ANNE]

Always liked these!

[flash]

lets hope santa brings me some 285 cams and verniers eh ;).. haha
followed by a trip to the remap elves !!
you know you still want me coops :P
haha
who knows.. i may be back with a clio in the future .. but for now im here to stay with a 205 ;)
yeah ive always loved em from a young age..
my dad loves the things along with his classic fords.. must be where i get it from..
never had the joy of driving one until now..
they are beautiful
only problem is..
aftermarket bonnet thats fitted still hasn't been sprayed.. so its matt black
but i dunno..
i kinda like the ratty look ;)

[ThRaXaIR]

those engines are so unreliable!! but when there working they are bang on!!! my gti-6 was a right beast, but i wanted a 172 back.

also do u actually play fallout or do u just like the help chap? :D

[flash]

haha.. reliablity is so tedious though !!
yeah im a bit of a xbox nerd i must say !
haha
although i have fallout3 on the pc too.. (more opportunity's for modding etc)
was a huge oblivion fan too

[richy]

looks nice, always liked the 205gti's but doubt id buy one now myself

[flash]

had a lovely drive in her tonight... handles beautifully.. the turn in is epic !
got a set of track wheels with some 888's on.. might stick em on tomorrow and go for a cheeky blast see what she can reallyyy do !
it has a nice spec.. but has a few things i need to sort out to get her mint..
the roofs paint has faded ever so slightly..
the bonnet needs painting..
a tiny bit of bubbling under the offside rear window (common on these)

once all that is done.. its time for a set of cams..
then we will see where to go from there !

[ThRaXaIR]

good work love fallout! good to see a fellow out loud and proud box nerd!

[flash]

nice car! encountered any lift off oversteer yet???? :shock:

[flash]

haha yeah they do suffer with it quite bad.. but as long as your confident in what the car can do.. you shouldn't have to lift off in the bend anyway..
the car really does handle well

[talkingfish]

[flash]

i know a lad whos got (at least i think he still has)
