Hello everyone! Some of you may already know me from my build thread but if not, here is the link: https://cliosport.net/threads/172-phase-1-oem.851529/
A little bit of a backstory, I am prior military and I was stationed in Europe. While there I picked up a Ph1 172 and it is now back in Texas with me permanently. As far as I know, there are only two Ph1 RS’s in the US and mine is the only one in Texas.
This thread, Dieppe to Dallas (really DFW or Dallas-Fort Worth), was a bit of a fun idea I had of taking my Clio around in a sort of way of “showing it things it’s never seen before.” I will be posting photos here of my Clio with iconic Texan and American locations and landmarks.
I hope y’all enjoy this series as much as I enjoy creating it!
This is the Tarrant County Courthouse. Completed in 1895, it stands in the heart of downtown Fort Worth as one of Texas’ finest examples of Second Empire Architecture. Designed by architect Wesley Clark Dodson, the building is instantly recognizable for its pink Texas granite, ornate detailing, and central clock tower. It replaced an earlier courthouse as Fort Worth boomed alongside the cattle trade and railroad expansion, symbolizing the city’s transformation from frontier outpost to major economic hub.
Joe T. Garcias, founded in 1935 as a humble 16 seat cafe, has grown into one of Texas’ most iconic family-owned Mexican restaurants. What began during the Great Depression as a small neighborhood spot in Fort Worth’s Northside expanded over generations into a sprawling compound famous for its lush Fiesta Gardens, brick courtyards, fountains, and twinkling lights. Still run by the Garcia family, it has become a rite of passage for locals, politicians, and visitors alike serving a famously simple menu.
