Just moved to South Wales! Who's nearby & when you meeting up next???

[BigBarry172]

Hi,

I've just moved to the area (with my family) & I'm looking to meet up with some fellow Clio enthusiasts Seen a few 1*2's & others about on the roads but only to nod at from behind the wheel lol.

I live near Abergavenny.

Introduce yourselves & we'll arrange a hook up if you're interested.

Cheers

Barry

Hi mate, welcome to the area. I'm not far away from you (about half hour) between Cardiff and Newport. Where have you come in from?

 

[BigBarry172]

I'm originally from Winchester but been living in Devon for the past 3 1/2 years! My wife's just got a new job at Merthyr hospital hence moving. You a Wales boy born & raised?

 

[SharkyUK]

Ah, got you. You're on the doorstep of some awesome driving roads mate. Congrats to the missus on the new job.

Nah, I'm not a Wales boy. I'm English-born but moved around with my job. I was working in the northwest (Liverpool and Warrington) before moving down here to start a new job. But don't worry, these Welsh folk aren't bad to be fair. Some of them are quite friendly! :rofl:

Good to her from you Fletch - remember when I first took you out in my black ph1 172 in Littleton all those years ago??! Did that coax you into buying yours by any chance!!

Looking forward to meeting up with all of you kind folk who have posted on my thread (and some who haven't too!), cheers!

 

[Hodgins]

Good to her from you Fletch - remember when I first took you out in my black ph1 172 in Littleton all those years ago??! Did that coax you into buying yours by any chance!!!

Yes mate pretty much. I had always liked the 172 I just didn't realise they went that well. I bought one quite soon after.

What happen to the your black ph1 172?

 

[BigBarry172]

Lol Hodgy I was checking out that Focus, very nice car - I REALLY want a bright green RS!!! They are proper lush, shame they're still £20K+

I sold my black 172 for rubbish money to some chav back in 2008... to buy an R33 GTR! I do miss it though, in retrospect the Skyline was a beast in a straight line but I seem to have more of a connected, complete & fun driving experience with a 1*2

 

[Hodgins]

Haha, small world eh?
It is nice FairPlay to my mate, loud as f**k though

im mad for a mk2 RS, just can't afford one so sticking with the mk1 lol
