Top stuff mate - you can drop the seat, theres a few threads on 205gtidrivers - but its a bit of a task! Town traffic, queues etc - yup! clutch is fun, one of the things the driving tests brought up when it first came out too!!

Looks and handling though, you can't fault it - it simply should not be able to corner like it does!

Hello all.

Been reading this thread with great interest, and would like to say hello as a fellow 205 owner.

We have had six GTi's in the family in the past few years:

Black 1.6 (broken for parts)
Black 1.9
Grey 1.6
White 1.6 (broken for parts)

Red 1.9 GTi - my current daily runaround
205 1.6 GTi rally car

My daily driver is the best car I have ever bought in my life! It's a 1.9, in red, with the worst paintwork you've ever seen. Every panel is a different colour, and the front bumper is barely hanging on.

However, it has to be the most rewarding car I've ever driven....... Hands down, it is THE best FWD car I have ever driven. The feedback is awesome, and the steering response - wow!

As for the rally car, you can read all about it and check out some nice action shots:

What a car!

Cant remember now his co-driver is Bye and they run in the 1.6 class, went in to chat to the bloke that owns the engineering firm about engine rebuilds and noticed it in there. Barrowford/Nelson way (Lancs).

I dont know the car owners, but have seen their name about before - my uncle used to rally Chevettes years back with Ken Skidmore and the gang. so I tend to keep an eye on rally classes
