Title: Hello!
Post by: Bomble on July 23, 2008, 10:06:04 PM
Hi, I'm Tom.

I love Peugeots and especially the 205 GTi, and what better place to come than Fast Frogs?! I live in Christchurch and am looking for my first car at the moment. I'm very picky so it's taken me some time!

As for my job/study, I'm a student pilot training for my Commercial Licence which I should get in April next year. I've gotta get a flash car for the job!

Cheers.

welcome Tom!

congratulations on your decision to buy a Peugeot - once you've driven one you'll never go back/wonder why the hell you didn't just get a toyoooooda  :D

Would be very keen, but realistically CX won't be going/roadworthy by then :'(

just fix the steering. no wof run '08/'09.
keen to roll the ID down for sure. attacking the brakes, clutch, and suspension tickle up as soon as the 205 is running.

^ I think that'd take off what little paint's left :D

It's also getting to the point where it takes me about 5 minutes to turn left.

Incidentally, have you finished with the vacuum cleaner - the CX could use another de-watering. :-* :D

Rofl; - you'll die when you see the condition of the paint on it. Heaps of it will have to come off to remedy rust anyway so might as well respray the whole thing
