Something for the summer?
As I need to keep myself occupied and there's nowt left to do on the furio, and the new c2 is going to be left as standard, I asked the citroen dealer I'm getting the c2 off if they had a trade in car I could buy, one that was below standard and cheap, that I could repair and get running.
you know a cr*pper they wouldn't waste workshop time on, and they may have a Ax 95/6 reg for peanuts for me  If I can't get it in running order then scrap it, If I can get it up to standard sell it cheap to pay for spare parts.
Pity they hav'nt got a saxo

If you weant a tinkering toy for the summer, get a 205 GTi with high milegage mate. Will be lots of work to do, but a great outcome

will cost you more money to repair one than you would get money back from it.

id love to do that, but you may aswell get a car which will turn out a stunner like a 205 GTi, than an AX which is outdated

Nice one. theres loads of high mileage ones abotu that with a bit of hard work could be returned to their former glory. Bit old now, but still one of the best looking cars on the road imo, aswell as performance

Before I got the furio I got a Clio 1.9d got it running, just had to do the br akes and sold it on to my neighbour for what I paid for it. so they had a school run car and I have the enjoyment of repairing and getting a car back on the road.
Thats what it's about

Thats not the best colour they came in to be fair, but give me a black/red/white 205 GTi over any saxo. How can you not love this;
