i might try and dig out a picture of my dad's old 2001 Rover 25 which was gold. Think he had sniffed paint stripper when he was buying that.

Don't knock Rover Adam. I used to borrow my Dad's company (J-reg) Rover Coupe and everytime you could tell he was worried it wouldn't come back in one piece.

Best still, the company used to fill it full of petrol and clean the car evey Monday morning - you won't get that sort of company car scheme running anymore!

I take it yours was the 1.9??? 306 Rallye looks fun, probably the last decent car Peugeot made. Renault rule now when it comes to french hot hatches.

Thats why they are still competive on the rally scene both on tarmac and on the loose and still have their own championship.
