My Sunflower (And previous cars)



Just realised I have never done one of these threads before. I have always had Renaults, started off with my 1.2 Mk1 back in 2006! Bought it standard, lowered it and fitted it with the worst backbox and alloys ever. Loved it then though.

Had that all through Sixth Form, then for Uni I bought my parent's car, a boring Mk2 Laguna DCi, won't bore you with the pics. It was by far the most unreliable car I have owned. Then I bought a Valver from eBay for £450 from Norwich.

That is still my favourite car I have ever owned, but for some reason I felt like I wanted a Laguna again. Got a Mk2 Laguna 2.0T this time,

but didn't keep it for long as it drank fuel and was too heavy for my liking. Luckily I managed to swap it for my Sunflower :D from Reevio. I love rarity, I had a '91 Valver which there were very few, Mk2 Ph1 2.0T Laguna which is fairly rare and now a Ph1 Sunflower.

(old exhaust)

Very happy with this, although it did give me some headaches over the exhaust and dogbone mount, but it drives perfectly now!

BONUS: Cake :)

Just out of interest, do you know where your Sunflower was first registered or which garage sold it? I only ask as my Odyssey has a registration very similar yours X**7 AAY

edit: My car is in the background of the shot of the valver heading into to be put on the rollers. :cool:

I have noticed it seems quite a common number plate, Il check in the receipts when I get home on Sunday where it's from - it has about 10 owners iirc so it's been around the block!

Wtf is that cake meant to be?

My old housemates GF used to bake all the time, she baked this for my birthday as I was reasonably well known for having a noisy yellow car. She did a American Football and a Wookie for the other housemates, the Wookie was particularly good.

It was first registered at Ceder Motors LTD in Barwell, Leicestershire, same as yours?

It also used to have a private plate, S700 NGS if anybody recognizes that.

valver, its just like my old one!! :D

I do like! Think I saw that on clio16valver a few times.

Haha, I am expecting quite a bit of interest in this when I do sell. I'm likely to be having my parents 04 plate 320d off them, I've got to wait until they find a replacement first.
