    Thanks dude.

    Quick update on the LPG system, it's a 500 € off deal, not 500 € for the whole system

    Well I've always included French idosynchracies, so the forum has had no cred for years

    Adding a jap rotary rice rocket was likely the final nail in my ownership history

    Can't wait.

    Got a nice surprise from the insurance company, for once, there is a deal going on right now, 28% off if I subscribe to some sort of club which seems pretty much harmless. I'll check another office on Monday to compare the price.

    Congrats on the new car. May you and you GF get many happy kilometers from it

    Nah, in order to do that, you´d have to buy a 1955 pink Cadillac

    Took car ownership to a new level, as I finally got the 206 today.


    Did a few miles, everything runs smoothly. One thing I noticed, the engine note is more of an electrical wining, something that reminded me of the first gen of the modern Mini, in its naturally aspirated declinations.

    It was also raining, which brought to the idiom "wet bride, lucky bride".
    I know, unfortunate combinations of words...

    Another thing I noticed is that proper car ownership, looking for a car and then paying for it out of your pocket is good, really good.

    Except when you check your bank account lol

    Congratulations again!

    I hope the 206 works well and isn't a strain on the wallet.

    If you're not careful, yea. I recommend staying well away from stickers and spoilers for the first few years of car ownership, just to make sure.
