New radiator. Fully rebuilt carburetor (yes a carburetor !)

No electronics on this car .

The 205 GTI is the best first hot hatch ever- some say better than a Golf GTI.

The 309 is a larger version like a Corolla or Sentra.

In excellent condition for its age.

Our other car is a Mazda and looking at having a change by buying an Alfa 10 years newer. Peugeot in 90's certainly more reliable and durable than Alfa Romeo.

Here's hoping I do not regret it but as in my sixties it is time for a change.

Ideal for your daughter maybe. Something fun and good looking.

Please message me.

Price: $1,900

Lake Toy Library? Could we make it happen?

Samm from Ngongotaha

How cool would it be to have our own?! While we have some toys to contribute, I don't have the building skills unfortunately, so does anyone have anything suitable laying around they would like to gift on? Or anyone looking for a little project? :)

Russel Watts, 50, from Taupo, said he postponed his review earlier this week after he found out he'd be facing off against a senior corporate attorney from Wellington.
