Mine is on a mix of Dunlop 'Sports' ( ), Roadstone (?) and Viking (?). The mismatches are on the driven wheels, obviously

Roadstone? Viking? Mismatches on the driven wheels?

You've played this game before, haven't you?

drove the wee beastie to it's MoT yesterday and dropped it off at the garage, then i got in my car to go get the girlf and her car (which i'd left at the seller's house) and my god does the 106 make me appreciate my car more. the 106 will carry far more rubble though

tyres are matched and the rears are goodyears. i suck at this game

My best shed so far has been a K reg volvo 440 turbo. I paid 350 quid for it at an auction and it was bonkers! The torque steer when coming out of a corner was certainly interesting. I loved the turbo and oil pressure gauges though and also the electric dash that used to cut off every now and again leaving me with no instrumentation

Peugeot 106 Look 2? Perhaps that is short for Peugeot 106 Look 2 The Sky And Wonder Who On Earth Would Want To Buy This Heap Of Shite? The full name is probably a bit long for the boot lid now I think about it. .

How many mpg does your shed do? I put about about Â£40ish or just over worth of petrol in mine and it gets me about 320 miles in mixed driving. I would need something that does a fair bit over that Parkers reckons 39mpg for my car, I have thought about a ZX diesel but according to parkers that only does 3mpg more :blink:

but it quotes 53-58 for the 106

like i say, about 66mpg for the general dual carriageway work that i do. only 56mpg-ish with a combination of town (mostly town) and dual carriageway this week. it's quite odd, driving a pitifully slow car well is nearly as hard as driving a fast car quickly. not having the get out of jail free cards of excess acceleration and braking has certainly made me a more observant driver, although i did nearly rear end someone last night :lol:

driving in a far less capable car also makes you realise even moreso than the vx what tw@ts most people drive like, as you don't have the opportunity to pass them you spend more time stuck on the same bit of road as other drivers seeing over and over that they are just not paying attention to the road/ conditions :beat:

. if you're looking for stacks more speed (within reason) may i suggest a 306 diesel, no turbo. great cars. last forever thumbsup

edit: have to say i don't give a fcuk about beating other drivers, like some do when i'm in the vx. plus trying to get it round corners on 155 tyres is fcuking hilarious. handles like my sofa :lol:

thank you.

any 106 diesel. preferably one with no MOT and a fcuked headgasket as they are a POP to change and most people are terrified of the words "failed head gasket, needs replacement".

yes, i have issues :lol:

right, you'll get sick of me posting these <first dodgy pug> if it goes for anywhere near that you've got yourself a bargain. seller is clearly a moron and changing the head gasket takes about 4 hours tops. thumbsup

sick of my pro 106 sh1tbox agenda yet?

my fuel bill, still not got around to home brew :beat:

has gone from Â£40 a week to Â£15 thumbsup

Niiiiiice

I suppose I should really put a new exhaust on mine..... but then I might let all of the wadding to fall out instead as it'll make it sound a bit meatier
