Ive recently changed my car and bike so thought it was time for a new thread.

After looking for six months I finally found a 1997 Peugeot 106 GTi


Few minor things to tidy up (such as the dent in the drivers guard and front of the bonnet you can just see in the photos)
Even though its only slightly different to the 106 XSi I owned before it its a case of the car being more than the sum of its parts. Its really nice to drive and I suspect the handling limit is far more than Ill ever find on the road.

Ive also just bought a 2006 Triumph Thruxton


Pretty similar performance to my Ducati despite being over 300cc bigger but I dont mind, has enough for me and hopefully not too much to get me into trouble.
Plans are only really practical things like:
Repainting/replacing the right side cover which is currently chrome so I temporarily sprayed it black till I can fix it properly.
Putting on a LHS mirror which probably means changing both so itll match.
Replacing the mufflers with genuine triumph accessory ones I just bought as the current reverse cone one are VERY loud

Lovely 106 you have there. One the same colour used to live up my street, I have always thought they are a wonderful looking car, and so compact as well. Saw a 106 Rallye in the city a few weeks ago as well.
