Thought I’d create a bit of a journal on this considering I’ve had the car since last August/September and have just been spamming the “what have you done to your car thread”.
Bit of a brief Renault ownership history, this is Cup number 2 after having a Mondial Blue Cup in 2010 for about 3 years and 4th Clio in total. I loved that car did a fair few track days and the biggest highlight was getting to drive it on the Ring.
Moving on to 2023 it was my 40th was on the horizon and I fancied another Cup, my old one above came up for sale from the person who I originally sold it to, I thought it was fate but sadly in those 10 years it didn’t seem to have had the best of life and looking rather ropey. So instead of looking for another Blue Cup I began to search for the much rarer Iceberg Cup.
I started to look in all of the usual places for one but as you can imagine it they were quite thin on the ground. 2 came up for sale around the same time, one was cheap and appeared to need a lot of work, then there was the one I own now.
Obligatory petrol station shot.
As with any of my car purchases I just buy the first one I get to see. It’s by no means a show car but it looked pretty presentable (except for the exhaust but we’ll come back to that) and appeared to be relatively well looked after. This also has been owned by a few members on this forum so it was good so see some of its history on here.
Arriving back home.
And tucked away.
Nipped up to The Motorisit to give it a bit of a shakedown and to get to know it quirks. Picked a decent day for it.
Not much happened to the car after that it just got put away for a few weeks whilst life got in the way.
Moving onto October first update to the car was the tires, they were really old PS3’s and beginning to crack which was a shame as they had loads of tread on them, so a quick Camskill order was made and had a fresh set of PS3’s to be thrown on.
After that it was MoT time which it flew through with only a few minor things to sort.
To be continued….
