Real World Reviews: Peugeot 205 GTi
PetrolBlog has followed the progress of FailCar’s Peugeot 205 GTi with great interest. But now, two months in, he’s penned a review. Very good it is too.
I have been driving the Peugeot 205 GTi now as a daily driver for the past two months, (over 2,000 miles), so I figured it was time for a Real Word Review on what it’s like to live with every day. Read more 
In pictures: FailCar’s Peugeot 205 GTi
The 5th of November 2010. A date I shall always remember. Maybe. Sending e-mails back and forth to someone on eBay while my girlfriend suggested I might want to be looking at the bloody fireworks display we had gone to see.
The next morning at the crack of dawn I was out the door to go and see it. That night a very original but a bit tatty Peugeot 205 GTi (57,000 miles) with one owner from new was in my mate’s storage barn. Read more

Peugeot: Will the lion roar again?
There are fantasy petrolhead garages and there are dream petrolhead garages. There is a difference.
A fantasy petrolhead garage will be an air conditioned barn, with superb lighting, wipe clean floor and enough room to house any number of exotic motors. Maybe a Pagani Zonda. A Ferrari F40. A Bugatti Veyron. A McLaren F1. A Lamborghini Miura. The list would go on. There’d be no cut off. No budget. Nobody getting in the way.
