360 GL and a BX 16v. That BX was the bomb. If only it didn't blow the head gasket. That bx was faster then any 300.
Leather, leccy windows and mirrors, snowcap, foglights, open air filter, black roof upholstery. What more do you want? >a 2.3 turbo!

The mi16/Gti-16 engine is a peach, particularly the all alloy version. 160bhp from a 1.9 N/A is impressive. The Mi16 I test drove revved so smoothly upto 7000rpm, yes.. I nearly did buy it! :oops:

I'd love a BX 16v - I was looking for one earlier in the year but couldnt find one I liked (probably should admit that here though!). My old housemate had a 309 Mi16 - now that was a fantastic car!!

Well this is my first one. :P GLT that is. No plans changing anytime soon.. or ever. :D More cars would be nice though if I would have the cash. 8) I have liked 300-series as long as I can remember. Though my father has always had 300-series so maybe that has something to do with it.. :P GL Turbo was the one which gave the spark though.. I remember when I was in fourth grade or something and we bought the GL. It was a bad ass car because it didn't have any rust back then and it kicked the s*it out of every one elses father's cars in speed and acceleration back then.. :D

Well it still does that to many cars. Some months ago when I was washing it at local gas station some fairy looking dude in his Seat Leon Turbo points me and laughs or something. I believe you call 'em "chavs" there. Well when I left the station he pulled next to me and I though what the fuck.. He didn't see it coming, though he saw my rearlights well... :lol: Well.. we all get annoyed sometimes.. that's not responsible driving so remember kids not to try it at home. :lol: sm32

Fuse mate, it happens every day over here. But not normally Seat Leons, much more mundane than that!. The usual 1liter Corsa or Fiesta with LED washer jets and a "JORDAN" sunstrip trying to pass me on the way to work lol

Oh dear! My first car was a Triumph Mayflower, followed by a Ford 8 van which was followed by a Morris 10 which was followed by a Wolsely 12 all back in the 60's. I had a Cortina Mk1 GT in 1968 and many more besides.
I px'd a Ford Anglia (Harry Potter shape and colour) for the GT. Many more followed. Why have I got a 340? Bought it cheap after my Audi 100E (5 cylider Durch Sprung Technique model) was totalled by a cow on a back road, and fell in love with it. Had it 4 years now. :P
