Was just about to tag @Perrinho

Exactly. In a straight line a new 320d would leave a 172 for dust.

Mines technically not a clio (but it is underneath) needless to say pretty much everyone I have a play with is surprised.

Looks like Motability hand controls. Remove it at once!

Track days, tip runs, dropping my boy off with his bikes, General van duties. I’ve got a little bit of work to do on it in Jan, but I’ll be doing a track day in it before the end of Jan 2020, I’ve ot done one this month and I’ve got withdrawal symptoms. 😂

I sold my Monaco (50k, repaint, new belts etc etc) for £5k about 2 years ago. A guy bought it to put in to his collection and it hasn’t moved since. It’s lovely having these tidy low mileage cars but I just don’t understand not using them. Driving is the best bit! Look forward to your updates.

He sold it cheap yeah, The new owner then decided to try and make ‘improvements’ and basically naused it up. my mate then bought it back, fitted a bigger turbo, a cage and some other bits and it’s now a toy rather an a fun daily.

My mates 400+BHP Saab engines sleeper. It’s terrifying. (Cage is being painted satin black in the new year, stands out too much)

If he’s got a sticking caliper it’s still plausible?

Stone in the tyre tread fractured brake disc (common!)

I’m guessing by the MOT history it’s doing lots of track days!

I remember Steve’s cup!! I bought the thing when he’d finally had a guts full of it.

He won’t reply. It’s all over the Facebook groups and everyone is tagging him and his son and so far his son has put up no defence what so ever. Even had the cheek to say they’d “written off the Labour” of the poor blokes Megane. Which is fucked. properly feel for the guy, he’d owned it a long...

So last night (or the night before?? Can’t remember, I’m very very tired) I did a 6.5 hour trip in the truck and SHE’S HOME!! so so happy. Got a bit of a list to get through to make it how I want, but I’m happy and that’s all I care about lately.

I love you Jon!!

That eye sore is Absolute bobbins and I’ve no interest at all. EV’s won’t be properly mainstream in my lifetime so I’ll just carry on driving exactly what I want until I’m too old and die.

Done! 😂😂

No, but it’s probably an Import.

I have sold 30+ cars per month for the last 18/19 years. That’s a f**k load of cars. From 90’s Fast Fords to Clio V6’s, to Classic Jags. I cannot remember a single person checking an engine number, not one.

Been Cleaning cars to various standards for the last 20 years. The brand I always go back to is Autoglym. Yes there are better products out there but like you say, for speed and ease, they’re a hard brand to beat.

Cracking choice! As a mk1 owner myself, be prepared to be emotionally and financially drained....

The steels look cool (IMO) but they don’t allow enough heat to leave the brakes for proper track work I don’t think.

I’ve seen ropey ones fail to sell at £1200. I’ve seen absolute minters with everything. Done go for near £5k.

Apologies, I need to be clearer. Anything old with the 1.9pd is good. Anything after that (about 2005-ish) then it’s absolute junk.

I mate I sold it in about May time I think? I am hoping to buy it back very soon though...

We very rarely stock VAG cars now. Overpriced and unreliable crap. And when they break, it’s £700, minimum.

You paid £1000 for that...?! You’re not being serious are you?!

Gents, I can buy a brand new (but technically secondhand) IPhone XR 64gb for £400. Is that a worthwhile purchase? My 6S is dying within 4 hours now and it’s laggy as f**k.

What else can you get out of the back door...?!

As with anything specialist (in terms of belts, suspension etc) the ropey one’s will keep plummeting and the good ones will keep rising.
