The fall from grace

[couzens]

From this

To this

Gutted shame its fallen into the wrong hands. Now scrapped I believe

 

[Fletcher]

What happened to it Ryan?

 

[DaveDreads]

Did someone buy it then break it for spares to try and make a proffit?

 

[Daniel]

If that was parked on my street (its clearly parked on someones!) i'd drag the s**t to the scrapyard myself.

WTF is wrong with some people??

 

[Clio RS 172]

omg

 

[The Fatty]

This is a prime example of why i dont wan tot get rid of my old clio!!!

 

[couzens]

What happened to it Ryan?

Don't honestly know fletch. the mechanic came intoday and showed me the pics (he lives near by) think it changed hands about 6 times between a group of mates after I sold it. regret selling now

 

[Tony Hunter]

It's a car.(was)

 

[Bodge!]

Don't understand why people get "sentimental" over old cars.

You had it, you sold it.

/End.

 

[BoatNonce]

I could seriously cry at that. Someone find the b*****d who did that and make sure he never owns a car again.

Shame mate.

I would be upset if I sold my 172, and 6 months later saw it looking like a heap. I get attracted to my possessions though.

 

[TimR26]

Did you sell it to Budgie?

Shame it was a tidy car

I know what Ryan's saying on this one.
When you build a car from scratch, spend hundreds of hours labour, and thousands of hard earnt pounds building something, to see it 6 months later looking like this is very disheartening.
Some of the cars i've owned i couldn't give a monkeys what their state is now, but the cars i have built it would depress me to see them in this state!

 

[Bodge!]

That clio didn't look too "stand out" to me...........

If its had a load of work done to it, then yeah.........

 

[Stu.]

Such a shame! This car was the inspiration for mine. Still have the fastcar poster on my wall lol :dapprove:

What a lame comment! Nobody wants to see something they have put hours of work into get destroyed regardless of if they sold it or not! How do you think an artist would feel if they painted a picture they thought was really good and sold it, only to find out the buyer had pissed on it, thrown knives at it and then set it alight?!

 

[Rage]

If its had a load of work done to it, then yeah.........

Or how about if you'd done every single thing on the car yourself? Every part of the bodywork, custom interior..and stance...Just like Ryan! I know one thing, you wouldn't catch me with a tub of filler and spray gun now, never mind when i was 16/17!

No different than closing the door after getting off a ho.

 

[Pint]

s**t Ryan, that sucks. I remember seeing your car not long after you had put the porsche wheels etc on. Was an awesome little car.

 

[K1NGY]

Makes me not want to sell mine

 

[Matt W]

At least they improved the wheels that were on it.

 

[Inferno]

Is it just me or does in now have a black bumper on it at the back? Why would you strip off the old one and refit another one? Everything else has just been broken or removed!

How do you know it's your old one?

 

[dezmondo]

Looks like the thumbgrips have survived!

Would be upset if it was my time and effort sitting there in that state but you sure it's the same car?

 

[hobnob48]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! That makes me sick! All the hard work we put into it!!!! Shame it went to ruins like that. Spose it just shows what an idiot can do to a car :/

you predered it on steelies?? crazy talk

the remains of the ph2 sport dash, gloss black wingmirrors and the smoothed bumper hanging out the sunroof.

 

[RDH]

In all fairness I'm not a fan of how it looked origionally It's not really my scene tbh.

Although I sold my old 1.2 which was immaculate, to may cousin who has then proceded to destroy the poor thing.

 

[Craig.M]

Thats such a same like, take it that was your first car?

 

[The Fatty]

I really need those thumb grips!

 

[jackfm]

I really need those thumb grips!

You "really need" half a thumb grip?
