Damn POS Hatchi :-/
OK, so i've had slight problems with the car creeping in neutral and wiper blades...
Now, however, it's much worse...

I've had the 206 partially disassembled for some interior mods and have been driving the Hachi only.
Got the wheels balanced after a trip to jutland (~1000km total) where I found out the steering wheel shakes at +130km/h... 150 grams on one wheel Huh And it still shakes a little cause the cheap POS tires the previous owner bought are apparently not aligned properly somehow (tire guy's comment)... So i neew new tires.
The exhaust broke (obviously at the absolutely most inopportune time), at the rear of the centre-muffler. Sounds like a rattly muffler-less tractor now :-( The DIY workshop didn't have anything that fit so I had to put the 206 back together for a drive to jutland and home again (~800km) the very next day. On the way to my moms place (I borrow her garage), at 3500RPM in 4th, it suddenly went to 4000 and the shifter popped into neutral...?!? Tried it again, same thing. Hmm... Yes, you guessed it, busted clutch. And it worked perfectly until now... Had it on a lift and the back-muffler seems to be welded together and the header (4>2 collector) has weld spots as well... Just fscking great!

Then there's all the little things like the wipers, little rust spots, windshield chips and the paint falling off the wheels.

What's next? A con-rod (I think it's called) out the side of the engine or something? (knock on wood).

And no, it's not for sale (although I'm tempted) Only doubt in my mind is whether it should be black or panda... ;-)
