I just bought a 206 Gti 180 by chance.
My parents are coming to visit from the UK and they need a car to potter around in and this car came up on Facebook, cheap, high kms and unloved  :(
I was planning to use it while they are here and they can drive my car.
I was going to sell it after they leave, but I have been driving it for a few days and I love it. ;D

Welcome.

Good to see you are enjoying it by accident. By the looks of your car list you are not scared of a few fables which of course will help in owning the Pug.
04 Clio RS - daily
03 Hirsch Saab 9-5 Sportcombi - family wagon
97 106 Gti - Current 2KCUP car - unknown quantity.
97 106 Gti - road car currently in bits after offering itself up as a sacrifice to the race car.

Good stuff - I picked up a 206 gti 180 a year back and it has been a great little run about.  Just gave it 4 new tyres, set of rear pads, a set of plugs and an oil change over the last month.  Today looking at finding the rattle - think it’s a heat shield.
Good to have a pug again - had 309 gti in the 90s.

Looks like you're pampering your 206 gti well, Ian! Great stuff!
