hi, generally i an a motorcyclist, but i cannot get all the family on a road bike. so having tested a 309GTi in the UK around an airfield about 10 years ago.... i still had a spot for them in my 'whats a znazy vehicle' lineup, Minis are nice but way too much money and often secretly rusty, jap GTs were a possibilty but then i saw this one on trade me.  picking it up tomorrow. fingers crossed.

congrats, you made a fine choice!

which one did you get?

[Griffe]

Good man!

Welcome along to our friendly little somewhat helpful site.  You indeed have picked a good car.

Where are you based? We meet up on a weekly base at the pub and talk about all things French, and you're more than welcome to come along

yeah got a red one was one TM a month ago, just been trying to get to Auckland to pick up. I am Waipukurau based. which pub do we meet at? HA! Pukeora Hill climb anyone?

[309munkey]

and the English part of this French thing seems to work for me also as it seems a Hillman California my Uncle owned before his death and gifted to me may well have been made in the same factory? (Hillman sold... sad but too time consuming)

welcome.
got a bit excited about the hillman and was knocked off my perch when i read you'd sold it. LOVE them, and would be in my top 10 cars to own.

KEEN for pukeora hillclimb. when's the net one? I went up and watched the second to last one. very cool some of the stuff they run in that.

not sure on the hillclimb, i think the Hawks Bay car club run it, i live about 5 minutes away. wonder what you need to get in on one of those hoon sessions? any ideas?

[CaM]

MSNZ affiliated car club membership + clubsport licence + fire extinguisher + helmet + overalls pretty much.

mmmmm..... as if i didn't have enough to do...  i might just go and pose with a beret and some croissants or something.
