Have owned since 2003. It is a great beautiful French Assembled car. 208,000 kms.
Two new tyres and the other two perhaps 80 % left.

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.

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.

Hey Neighbours,
Term three is well underway, and we would love to know how many extra-curricular activities your children are taking part in this term.

Do you think children should play a sport/learn an instrument/commit to extra study after school? Or do you think after school hours should be dedicated to the likes of resting, homework or doing chores?

What do your children take part in and why?
Is there too much pressure on parents to sign children up for activities, or do the benefits outweigh the negatives?
