Hi there, been reading these forums for years. Finally got my hands on a fairly decent car, so i decided to register. I Have been driving a 106 1.0 xn for the past 4 years, and as of today have upgraded to an XSi 1.4. loving it so far, so much better in every way to my old car. Here is some pictures. Hope you like.







Thanks, Tom.

Great thing about cars like this is that they always feel on edge when pushing them wink

Good sensible car for your age and wallet.

Enjoy the handling. Mrs Jeffmaniac has a 1.1 106 and I love its handling.

Make sure you can graduate to the 1.6 gti soon as its possibly the best Peugeot ever!

Yeah ideally I would have liked to have bought a gti but the budget and insurance didn't really allow it. However I'm considering doing a 1.6 16v conversion later in the year when I have some more money.

cracking little cars. I had the 1.6 8v version and it was excellent. Yours looks to be a good example.

None in the city center, there is some out on Dartmoor apparently.

I have not seen it though because the 190E is broken at the moment frown

Love these. Really think its the forgotten gem of the Peugot hot(ish) hatches. I'd go as far as to say that they're up there with the 106 Rallye for sheer fun. I keep looking at the classifieds and wonderring whether I should grab one of the bargain ones that crop up from time to time.
