: New Addition to the Fleet
Bubbles 19-03-2007, 16:15:47 Well.. as myself and Gareth are putting silly miles on our Clios at the moment we decided to buy a 3rd car for commuting and seeing eachother...
We really want a diesel but there holding their money so well at the moment! so instead... we went for this little petrol beauty!
I LOVE her!
Pug 306, 1.8 XS (better specced than the trophy ;)) with Auto Wipers, Climate and 6 CD changer
69k on the clock and a complete bargain

minnnt 19-03-2007, 16:19:37 looks nice aimee... like you say, the diesels are better, but are more money to start with. :)
BlackRat250 19-03-2007, 16:52:46 Where do you travel to work?
Bubbles 19-03-2007, 17:10:21 Minnnt, i recon we could sell the XS for the money of a HDI hehe - but i love the car too much now
Dave, im not far from my work (when im at home) but from Gareths its 1 hour 15 mins away - and gareth is an hour from his work
BlackRat250 19-03-2007, 17:11:32 Bloody hell. Good idea going for the diesel. Where does Gareth live then?
Bubbles 19-03-2007, 17:13:54 Leighton Buzzard - Would you like to know his inside leg measurment? ;)

BlackRat250 19-03-2007, 19:36:28 she dreaming again
FunkyMunky 19-03-2007, 19:39:41 Bloody hell. Good idea going for the diesel. Where does Gareth live then?
between us we've racked up close to 8000 miles in 4 months commuting to work and doing other bits and pieces.... the diesel is a logical choice but they hold their money really well so we would have been looking at about 1.5k more than we paid for this for a diesel with similar mileage.
time will tell whether we need a diesel.... but as Amie says we can probably sell this car at profit as we got a fairly good deal :D
BlackRat250 19-03-2007, 19:41:15 Id say if your doing that amount of milege, it will pay to go for a diesel. So when you moving in? lol
FunkyMunky 19-03-2007, 19:41:19 she dreaming again
elise is probably do-able, but finding one in yellow isnt going to be easy!
FunkyMunky 19-03-2007, 19:43:32 Id say if your doing that amount of milege, it will pay to go for a diesel. So when you moving in? lol
the pug seems fairly economical so far.... i don't have the temptation to rag the nuts out of it.... just amble along lol
BlackRat250 19-03-2007, 19:44:41 I rag my other halfs pug. lol. Shh, don't tell her
FunkyMunky 19-03-2007, 19:48:05 i have the 182's for ragging ;)
minnnt 19-03-2007, 19:50:10 wouldn't it have made more sense to get a diesel engines 'summat else' though? having said that though it depends on how much you got it for... :p
FunkyMunky 19-03-2007, 19:56:04 wouldn't it have made more sense to get a diesel engines 'summat else' though? having said that though it depends on how much you got it for... :p
we're both very fussy.... looked at loadsa stuff over the last few months but the search was narrowed down to between a 306 and another Clio tbh.... just settled for a petrol version now as opposed to waiting another 3-6 months to find a diesel
3 Clio's would have been a bit much ;) And between us we've owned 11 Clio's - time for a change!
dickie 19-03-2007, 22:36:47 That little puglet looks in great condition! Gareth, were you rolling around bletchley on Saturday?
Bubbles 20-03-2007, 08:29:12 Yes! :D in the Trophy
Lovely car Bubs, always had a soft sopot for the 306. :)
Alex_172 20-03-2007, 14:57:04 It makes sense that if you each have a mint car that a 3rd workhorse motor makes sense!!!
Thats why I got that Clio RT, 5 door so perfect for moving stuff around for out new house.
That Pug looks mint too though, they are well comfy as well. :D :D
Bubbles 20-03-2007, 16:40:29 Shes being treated like a princess at the moment! in and out of places getting everything checked and making sure shes in tip top condition hehe
Who do you guys have breakdown cover with? its not something ive had to look into before and personally i think its a bit expensive!! £100 for the 2 of us with the AA (i think)
Best we've seen is Greenflag which is £68 for the both of us
shinyautos.com 20-03-2007, 22:05:22 Lovely motor guys, glad it's all coming together nicely!!
She looks in awesome condition too what a find! :D
