It was a coincidence that came when froze my Astra free this car and I got the opportunity to buy him

It's weird how sometimes run things. Last week was my distribution chain beside my Astra 2.2 and now I drive a known friend of mine. It was a coincidence that came when froze my Astra free this car and I got the opportunity to buy him. I do honestly not like to buy from friends about stuff, especially as regards cars have yet to deal with large amounts and what us even more is the sense. But I know one thing for sure, the feeling I got when I had an opportunity to buy this car was delicious.

The reason for buying a car is made to me for mainly feeling. I had been a lot of cars to look for under € 1000, - and I was really sad. This does not, for anything more than the aforementioned sum if I become owner of this Peugeot 106 1.1 Accent and there the rest of the story begins.

Part 2: With a firm handshake and know the transfer will only become really attached to me. We drive back to his house and I am now for the first time in the possession of a Peugeot. "Welcome to the club," says his father happy and I am happy that I can fit in. Of course we talk for a while about cars but in the end I have to go to work. I unlock the doors remotely, because yes. This 106 has central locking with remote control. The key is in the ignition and 'tap, rotate' the term as applied to this car. The four cylinder engine begins to make its speed and with my foot but sensitive young clutch I start my new adventure.

At night when I'm done I can not wait to work to go on the road. I drive down the field and my first ride is now. I have to get used to the absence at the bottom of torque, noise, no electric windows, climate control and much more, but mostly no power steering. I miss it all but along the way makes it really not matter because the 106 has a good time and I too. Together we drive on the highway and we sit to enjoy. I drive car and I am blessed.
Almost home, I think of myself that I will just have to practice the emergency. Because that will be quite different in the little one. The exit is completely empty and I'm alone. From hundred stairs I pedal progressively and feel an immediate and strong braking. I'm harder braking and the grip is suddenly gone. No ABS so I need to fix it yourself. Well I just feel this again because now I recognize it again. The car I park at night in the street and wish him a good night.

The past few days I drove 400km and they were saved, no hiccups or bumps. The comfort of the frame is so much larger than that of the Astra. But that comes as no sport is added to it. And that's actually good.

I'm lots of love this car and will keep you informed of developments.
efficient car space (148 284 km)

I now have such a large 5000km further and thought it was time to update the review once.

The 106 takes a really excellent mileage. Since I live close to my work and there just to bike Peugeot is used only for private mileage and these are good distances. Always longer than half an hour. The disadvantage of only private drive the car at times a week at a standstill. But that does nothing to him, in the freezing cold I had only a moment longer need to hold the starter to launch the block. Furthermore, no sweat.

I knew that this car could lose a huge amount when you load a little convenient. But recent months have demonstrated the excellent two mountain bikes, two people, backpacks and a large crate with emergency facilities in suits. In fact, you're still sitting space. You have to pick up the mountain bikes or apart. But more than the wheels do not come off. A doily against the mud (mainly for the idea) and go. In most car parks you see different people even look twice when suddenly two bicycles mounted turned against the proud Peugeotje.

I have no problem still encountered to the 106, he does not kick or punch and drive good. The chairs are the only downside, but not so bad to go.
Oh, I did have today discovered a leak. I left the car a good wash and then I wanted to drive away, I noticed a drop in my arm. Apparently the car is leaking at the water antenna inside (after pressure was turn). I'm of the week here watching. Not so shocking events.

Furthermore, it remains efficient and smooth ride. Because due to its low weight, it is excellent with the traffic and it does not cost much fuel. Which is quite a bit different from the Astra.
The fastest, most economical, space vehicle ever (152 226 km)

It must now allow two months for the little 106 to the judge, but in the meantime he has already put many adventures to his name.

I did not expect that this car would drop such performance. As I probably mentioned earlier have fit easily two mountain bikes with all of that stuff in the trunk, and can pull you still good with two of the country to find out the coolest trails.
What I did not know is that this car really is faster than the Astra 2.2 at the time. Now has nothing to do with power but all traffic. But he does have standing record.
MTB in the trunk, suitcase and pillow there. Then to 2330u full throttle to Berlin and just arriving for 0500u including two long breaks. The first refueling only came out a little late, I missed the first gas station while my light is already a good time seriously burned. Well, 70km further on happily open fuel station and fill up. There was 40 liters, 45 liters went, eventually over 46 liters in the first projected 45 liter tank. An unexpected deep sigh. Oh well, he's full again.
Certainly the last break was a need for it to 2330u leave was not a voluntary choice, I had just finished with the theater and the schedule was the same through. One strike a night, quite spicy with a 106 to 160km / h. The last stop was a doubt whether I would drive by, I tended to fall asleep. But the Peugeot also said to me. Come on, a rest, then another hour. And that was it. After the long break I could, I was a lot more enjoyable driving.

On the way was a different adventure. I was pretty convinced that the exhaust leak was, in fact, there was no doubt about it. On the other hand dragged the pipe after a 200km road to the autobahn which was annoying. Initially called the AA, but I had too little patience and some wire installation quick exhaust after it had cooled, attached. (quite exciting on the shoulder of an autobahn, but good) then secured drove to the torsion bar and quickly to an ADAC garage. I was helped by a friendly German, I would gladly put a metal hose clamp on. So I really do not endanger other cause. This made for € 2 and I was on the road again. The fate into their own hands!

Thus arrived home, buy new pipe and mounted again. Tip, do not buy € 4 Chinese bolts. Which turn destroyed in a moment. Then bought bolts on Peugeot for too much money. But nice 8.8 indication it and that could be tight.

Finally achieved another personal best. Obviously took a gamble by the knowledge of the extensive tank to drive another 125km by the "go now fill" light on. Well I went to refuel after 802,7km and I had about two liters. It was a thrilling ride, but if you learn may recognize the car. Best 106 riders, no worries. If your tank light comes on, you have about 10 liters in the tank.
(I must confess, I have listed all the fluids reserve in my car. Including a jerry can of petrol 10ltr. Of course I'm not crazy.)

Furthermore, the car drives fine and I did not expect this Peugeot took such performance. I knew the story, but experience them for yourself. Great!
Finally (200 040 km)

It's finally happened. Together with a friend, while the previous owner we drive piece. The girlfriend crawls for this time but in the back because the bullshit of all parts, and for her maybe some meaningless adventures lie clearly on the tongue during this ride. But before we are ready to write what this is about, we look like the last ride back here. Because there have been so driven 48.000km and there's quite a few passed. For example, there have been replaced various filters and belts, and has a lot of rubbers can be deposited against the asphalt.

I'm just back to the latter km booth at car week and see there are 152 226 km. Less than 500 kilometers after this position was special surprise on the highway. The locking pin of the gearshift said goodbye namely, it sank a little lower and had to be replaced the pen with a bolt. As well come home. The switch was only fuzzier. Furthermore, it went well. Almost immediately ordered a locking pin. Exit, 10 pieces. Because the dealer sold it per package of 10. But with a total price of € 4.70, I was also not really touched.

Some 2000km further it finally happened. A childhood dream came true, finally the circuit. And a circuit where I have already been a number of times and see what is really the mecca for me for car sport. Nurburgring. With two friends, including of course the previous owner went for a toeristenrit on the ring. I had the car well serviced shortly before and just replace the brake oil. There were also new front tires under. The Dunlop SP Street Reponse. This was necessary last MOT. The Peugeot was ready for it and I did too. Because I really knew every corner of the circuit. We bought a ticket and went to the track and full throttle. I have all 60hp, or the one that is left of his work considerably. And let's not forget the brakes because I really braked just in time for the turns and so we actually raced on the Nurburgring. With a time around 15 minutes we arrived at the finish line. It was a fantastic experience, even for the passengers for that I still tasty's put their nails in the interior.

However, other of the car records were achieved. There is a new record in terms furthest driving on one tank of fuel. The 853.0 km was tapped. Maybe now you expect me was this incredibly proud. Well, there was someone proud and she has beautiful long hair and wears it occasionally with a tail. My dear friend was in fact the same period the designated driver as I had fallen by a somewhat too enthusiastic landing with the downhill mountain bike in plaster. Yes, bad luck. The sweet smile and bizarre saving rate had put my record of 800 aside. But I was patient and made a good attempt to break her record. Some weeks later, it was time and I was going for the win. The goal is, moreover, who is the farthest can drive on one tank without coming fall silent. I had the balls and had the best car. But fortunately I am stubborn and with the misfortune of a file I was still 891 km to dwell on the shoulder. A jerry can and a lot of repetition of 'who has also been the record made us then drive back smoothly to the fuel station. Unfortunately, it failed me below. I had come to 852km. But then had to really fill up. I intend ever to break her record. But until that time.

Furthermore, Peugeot has brought me to great holiday destinations. We have wonderfully drawn by Austria. And as I have already twice again carried out a major overhaul and is obviously replace the outlet again. Now new tires are also under. Dunlop SP2. I drive now about 3000km and find them good, but maybe next time go for something more sportiefs. In the winter I drive with Vredestein Snowtrac 3. Really a super snow tire.

I replaced the timing belt with a friend and have various components.
I love each fuel tank with regard to consumption and so are the costs. The beauty of this is that I immediately see if anything changed or are repeated a particular failure or other strange things. However, this also shows a very cheap car. I will mention at the bottom as much data as possible for the fans.

Then it was the week finally. Yet a few kilometers away and the state passed the 200,000 km. The three of us went on stage purely as a ride to experience this consciously. Do you notice it? To the car, he still drive very well. His last major turn has really paid off. All filter particles and oils delicious fresh. Personally, it does have influence. We know the car since a mileage of 45,000 and since we will pass just two tons is quite a while. And yes, with shouting we pass the magnificent figure and I was very happy. In short, this car still is fun.
