6 Months without a clio

[LB197]

It's gone so fast since I sold my 1.2 Clio which I loved with all my heart (first car problems), As i'd played Gran Turismo since an early age and with a spot of influence from an unkle i've always had a love for MX-5's. So I took the plunge and bought a 00' British Racing Green MK2 MX-5 back in September. I've kept the mods to a minimum but it has to be said power may not be immense but the handling and power as a whole does put a smile on my face when I take it for a drive.
It's hard to believe this is the same age as my clio was.

I know right, who would have thought Clio wheels would look good on an mx5

But couldn't quite let go of a clio right?

Had to keep a bit a bit of it with me haha, the wheels had to stay I'm sure my next car will be a cliosport, I miss my little 1.2 codger haha

Have both?
MX5s are cool and all, but there's always room for a Clio!

I agree with the revvy part, same engine as I have in my mk1, they love to be driven hard!

This was my reasoning as well, hense having both sat on the driveway, great fun pair of cars to own!
