Good read.

"The following graph shows the numbers of both cars in the UK, and a shocking reminder that at the current rate of decline, there will be no 306 GTi-6 or Rallye left by 2017."



Disagree. As with all cars the number will decline over time. The fewer the cars available the slower the %decline. The graph will slowly level off and so there will still be plenty of GTi6's and Rallye's available in 2017. What the graph does show that in the last 10 years, since discontinuation of the 306, the number has halved roughly. And so in the next 10 years (2021) it's likely to half again, ie there is looking to be around 125 rallyes from the 500 made and around 1000 GTi6's from the 4500 made (all approx). Then in 2031 it will half again. roughly 60 rallyes and 500 GTi6's still on the roads.

All graphs usually have a trend and this graph shows that although both have taken the plunge, it's also showing it's levelling off slowly

So Ash do you know by any chance if the Rallyes were only sold in the UK? As i never saw any in France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg or Portugal. So i suppose it was a UK model only? Something like the PH1 106 Rallye 2 that only came out in Portugal? Where did you sourced the figures for the graph if you don't mind me asking?

lol. True. But if you look at the last year its leveling off hence why i didn't miss at "the current rate". Getting glasses through my work soon so yep feeling geeky at the moment. I've noticed in the last year gti6's have generally decreased in price by about 30% to 50%. And thats in 1 year! Thats looking at the listings on ebay pistonheads autotrader etc.

It wasn't a homologation special iirc, was a marketing ploy for the UK market. Plenty of S16's (the proper S16, not the UK version) in Europe.

Different to the 106 Rallye that actually had a different engine and a few other changes, seems the 306 Rallye was purely to make the car more affordable by removing the mod cons

Lets not forget the amount of cash this country as a whole has at this moment in time, so most cars will also be going cheaper. Cheaper cars are more likely to get broken/run inn, i think it will level off. There are loads of members/track car 6's kept in good nick and the graph line looks to be slowly leveling off.

In a different way of thinking, the 6 may almost disappear when elec/hybrid cars take over due to oil running out. Which cars will more likely be kept as a classic, 205gti or the 306 gti6 ? They may both be on the road together the/306 gti6 heart with the 205 soul, year baby lol.

As said I live for the 306 and I'm not going to pay for all that petrol/oil etc when there's a cheap electric conversion available...but we're talking years yet. 10's of years possibly. lol.

I think I sound like a tit I know, but are you all telling me you are all going to sell the GTi6 in the next 10/20 years? If so you don't live for the 306 and can lick my gooch sidewaysThumbs up

Nope, I sold mine before you joined the forum... Which automatically err... hmm

Seriously though, it'll be a GTI-1 if you convert it to electric power. They don't have gearboxes, just one fixed ratio.

Jamma,i'd happily put my house on it that in 10/20 years time you wont have your current car.

Also you'll hopefully look back and think what a massive douche you were for spouting such utter tripe on a forum.

As bad as it sounds I hope you get cancer of the ballbag or you twig and berries are torn off in an industrail accident so the world is not subjected to a bunch of f*ck-wit mini jammas ambling around Roll eyes

O/T Admin can I get a partial refund of my membership so that I can pay two tramps to fight of a flagon of cheap cider instead of having another 11 and a half months of Jamma's BS as the tramps will be better VFM

I cannot believe that in 20 years you think you will have the same car.

Maybe you'll be married to that embarrassed bit of clunge that you took pictures of. Maybe she's accepted that you love your car.

But seriously? I hope you try and make sweet love to your car and your cock gets caught in your cambelt and comes round and slaps you in the face and wakes you up from the weird dream that you seem to be living every day.

That just made me snort beer.

Good one.

I did some sums relating to driving 1000 miles a month in a leased electric car vs a leased (bigger, more comfortable) diesel estate car for my fleet at work, and it came out as a f*ck you to the tune of about £120 a month in favour of the *insert £300+vat a month diesel lease barge here*.

So electric cars - for now - can lick my nuts.

technology is always getting better. I wouldn't even think about having an electric car now. They are gay. But in 20 years time who's to say I'm wrong and electric cars night be more fun than petrol by then.

Not saying the gti6 was a bad car, it was awesome, but since owning the golf and getting in a gti6 the other day I don't think I would buy another 6 again, unless it was at the peak of my budget!

The gti-6 is still capable of surprising a few people - just last week i was following an M5 between sets of lights. When we stopped at one i was alongside him and he put his window down and started asking me about my car - ended up saying it had "serious poke..."

Nice to get a compliment off someone in a car like that!

We've got several 306 Rallye's though, only big difference with the UK rallye's is that ours have the xs-cloth interior mostly and are better balanced due to being LHD Razz LOL
