Had one for a while, underpowered, handled like a barge and never reliable. Was not the best car in its class back in the day but still an amazing thing to find one like this 30 years on.
Cheers for all the comments. My son says that it's a joy to work on compared to the Clio. The stubby aerial was an ebay special. The wheels were a home job but my son was a paint sprayer once.
I believe everyone's entitled to their opinion and we all make choices based on experience. I chose...
Following on from my picking up my new wheels earlier this week my son and I have been a little bit busy making it look a little bit different.
This was how it looked on Wednesday evening:
Day One
Team Heko Wind Deflectors fitted:

Far be it for me to comment as I have gone from a 197 to a Panda 100HP to save money. The only way I am saving is less tax and Insurance and I hoped a lower fuel bill but now everyone in the family suddenly wants to borrow my car. doh!!

Finally got the V5 back from DVLA today and do the exchange on Wednesday now. Someone has guessed right but I'll wait until Wednesday to let you know what will be on my drive. Needless to say plans have been made, some small parcels have arrived and some changes will happen over the next few...
Cheers for all the support and yes it will be hard with moving people on. Half my staff team have already found other jobs, I must have taught them well.
So far no one has got it right although some interesting choices. Much as I love Metros there are so few left and would not make a good...
A sad day has happened in my life in that I am getting rid of my beloved R27. Those people who know me are aware that this was my second Clio after my Titanium 182. Cold facts of life have had to hit home and I cannot justify keeping the R27 and the expense that it is due to incur. Also due to...
