Mid-life crisis help needed



Should I buy a Mk1 valver?

I had a Clio 172 when I was 23-26, then a Mk5 Golf GTI 26-29……I turn 40 this year so did the sensible thing and bought a Mk5 R32 and a 182 🤷🏼‍♂️

Everything is half price or less for the Clio vs Golf, which is making the Clio project more fun, and eBay hunting is much less guilty.

Also I went to to see a lot of Golfs and Clios and the Clios were less rusty overall! I find apart from sills the shells aren’t too bad, it’s the gearboxes, interiors, exhausts, bushes, electrics, radiators, bodywork and interior trim that are the problem 😂

Haha at least we expect the Clio's to be s**t, our expectations of a Golf would be higher. 🤣 I had a Mk7 Golf GTI for a while, fun car. So good choice on the R32 tbh. 👌

Shocker

  Rs200t lux
Fcuk Clio’s
My rs200t done 60 miles last year
But my Ktm 1290 superduke evo came out a lot
Nothing like hanging on at 180 to sort a mid life crisis

I can’t believe we’ve made it this far without someone suggesting an E46 M3.

I started my midlife crisis/manopause at about 25 and I bought a Clio 182.

I highly recommend a Clio based mid life crisis. This was/is mine, although the reg plates are now private wanker plates to compound the crisis situation, CL10 RSU and C111O RS

Nice mid life crisis Clio there Dave👌🎯

I selected option 1 for you Grrljo.

I contemplate selling my Williams powered valver and getting a e46 m3. I thought I would mention that now after an e46 gets mentioned.

I open the garage, fire up the valver, blast it around the lanes and come back with the biggest smile on my face and think how the hell can I possibly get rid a Renault hot hatch ever again. I would miss it and regret it massively if I let it go.

Clio, especially a mk1 is the perfect bang for your buck mid life crisis project /weapon. Do it.👍

Amazing love this! And tbh the thought of getting a BMW does absolutely nothing for me. :ROFLMAO:

awesome stablemates there 👍👍

For the record I have never been a Porsche nor vag fan. Don’t have a go at me though as this means nothing. I have never driven nor owned a Porsche. I just don’t cream over the looks of them and like clarkson, felt they all look too similar. I know if I drive a 911 I would love it. They just don’t do it for me.

My misses cringes at the fact I still own and drive a Clio at my age but I don’t give a s**t. They are great cars and I love it. I would regret selling it for what it’s worth and what it provides. Makes me feel 18 every time I drive it. Priceless.
