Post by: 309munkey on August 13, 2008, 09:57:22 AM
hi, generally i an a motorcyclist, but i cannot get all the family on a road bike. so having tested a 309GTi in the UK around an airfield about 10 years ago.... i still had a spot for them in my 'whats a znazy vehicle' lineup, Minis are nice but way too much money and often secretly rusty, jap GTs were a possibilty but then i saw this one on trade me.  picking it up tomorrow. fingers crossed.

Good man!

Welcome along to our friendly little somewhat helpful site.  You indeed have picked a good car.

Where are you based? We meet up on a weekly base at the pub and talk about all things French, and you're more than welcome to come along

and the English part of this French thing seems to work for me also as it seems a Hillman California my Uncle owned before his death and gifted to me may well have been made in the same factory? (Hillman sold... sad but too time consuming)

welcome.
got a bit excited about the hillman and was knocked off my perch when i read you'd sold it. LOVE them, and would be in my top 10 cars to own.

KEEN for pukeora hillclimb. when's the net one? I went up and watched the second to last one. very cool some of the stuff they run in that.
