Hello Dinesh. Are you on the lurk for anything in particular?

Yes either a 205xs or 1.6 gti or a Citroen BX19 GTI / 16V.  It will be my first French car, always wanted one but always end up with something German instead. So hopefully my Bmw sells so i can buy me a frenchy and finish building my Volvo 240.

Hey thanks for the Volvo lovin, the brick doesnt get as much love as it deserves.
Shes a 82 244gle but soon hopefully will be turbocharged and sitting low on some BBS RS's.
Also, she used to be automatic but now shes got a 5spd manual box.

hey mate. good to c more new members!

you should buy this!

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Other-accessories/auction-243578697.htm

it has had the mi-16 conversion already done (twin cam 16v engine instead of standard 8v SOHC) so itl be fast and many ppl say the 309 handles better than the 205 because of the wider suspension.

itd be a weapon!

Also more weight at the rear to counter the front bias. Though thats the reson i bought my mk2 Jetta instead of a golf, though it always still feels like a big car. Also thats weigh over my budget. I cant afford to  sipphon  all my funds into a new car when i my Volvo has been waiting for sooo long.   I am sure i saw your car (2052nv) around penrose yesterday I was in my 760 turbo.
