    Belated congratulations on a great purchase. I know you will have years of pleasure the little guy. I have a 206 (sn 00160) also. We have done many rallys, even a race day or two at Portland Speedway. The car will have a large impact on your life, I see yor already have begun the memorabilia collection in your garage. One word of advice, be careful with the stalk controls on the steering column, the wiper control is fragile in the extreme. I broke mine and could not find any replacements. Eventually, had to have parts made. Other than that, and the second gear synchro (double clutch until warm) the car is wonderfully strong. BTW, what's the exhaust look like, four small pipes or two large ones? Best of luck,
    Mike

    Drop a note anytime. I'm not always on the chat but do check back, so not to worry if it takes a while.
    Hope you have as much fun with yours as I have had with mine.

    Maui, Hi
    Drive your spanking new baby, "I'am not worthy" LOL , I would not be able to sleep at night if god fobid i got a rock chip on your new purchase, In the month I have been here, Ive had 3 door dings, and about a 1/2 dozen rock chips UUUGGGHHH !!

    I would be elated to just sit ( parked) in her and softly give her a few revs to hear the 6 piece musical orchrstra AAAAHHHH, now thats Italian !

    My 8 piece band ain't too bad either, I find my self rarely using the radio when I have the top off, the music is just so much more enjoyable than the stuff my Alpine radio puts out.

    Also.. see quote in f-chat below.... give this guy "cmarsh90" info on your rental cottage !

    I'm looking to go to Maui for my honeymoon in July '06. I'd really like to rent a nice house to stay in (something under say $750 a day). Just curious if anyone can recommend some places? Thanks.
