Phase 1 or 2?

Just spotted at the lights at the bottom of Westway. L4BUX I think the reg was, covered in what looked like K-Tec racing decals.

Used to wave at fellow 5 GT turbo owners and I always got a wave back.

If I see another phase 1 I give a rise of the hand, I don't bother with any other though.

Silver ftw

Keep them silver

Funny you should say that, my Mrs nearly reversed into it on the drive this morning.

Your's was mint, quite fancy a LY 182

Think of it being the last few moments with a loved one

A focus 1.6 diesel estate , company car. Had it for nearly 2 years a it's taken me that long to part with the clio. Still got the Mrs 208 GTi to get my fix, not quite the same as the 172. I'll be back in one again I'm sure.

I know Piers. Didn't realised you could get so attached to a car.

Truly gutted to have sold my phase 1 yesterday. At least the car will be a long way from me so I've no chance of seeing it around. The new owner is already a member of the club and I'm sure it'll be looked after and driven as they should be. At least I get to hold on to her for 3 more weeks...

What's your budget?

Doubt the reg would R5GTT as that would make it registered in 1997 or earlier. Last 5 turbo's registered were on K plates. There use to be a raider with the reg A5 GTT.

Replaced my drivers side window regulator this evening. Bit of a pain in the arse but not the worse job I've done on a Clio.
