93% of your Clios....

[Dan519]

have a "Dark history"

The tabloids say so, it must be true. Give up on your detailing now TBH, it's all a waste of time

 

[Knuckles]

that explains the insurance :rasp:

 

[JoeyD]

I think you'd be able to spot a skeleton under the bonnet. There's not a whole lot of room in there for dead bodies.

 

[DaveDreads]

All of my Clio's dark history is down to me I think. lol

 

[jamesd1263]

Danny dont bother doing the work on mine theres no point anymore

 

[r900smp]

This and i will never sell it so all the issues are mine

 

[Dan519]

lol, too late, I've started now

 

[jamesd1263]

Shite

 

[Gally]

Flol! What paper was it?

Tbf most Clio owners these days don't bother checking belts or Hpi.

 

[Russ_16v]

Good God id dread to know the whole of Dufs history lol

 

[Nick172Cup]

Can kind of understand the paper if i'm honest. Whether its new panels done to fix a car outside of insurance to sell it or replacement/different engines is probably how they came to that assumption.

Think it was the Mirror, was on the counter in a takeaway

Right mate, when i work on mine and I drop a screwdriver it often stops its falling before reach the ground stucking somewhere in the bay..


or maybe is the skeleton grabbing it... XD

That made me actually lol...

suppose its true though, ive had my front bumper sprayed, guessing thats the sort of thing they're calling 'dark history'.

 

[Bux]

Mine had a skeleton under the bonnet... was still alive though

 

[deutsche_blonde]

Lol. Though waaaay too much skin for a skeleton...

 

[gaz90]

I can believe that tbh, according to the mot records of my clio its either been clocked in the past by someone or had a clock change or perhaps a clock and engine change for all I know, not sure but somethings happened in the past never done any checks or anything so I suppose its my own fault

Didn't mean double post, computer went nuts

 

[z8jay]

Mine definitely had a dark history lol

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

thats mine fucked then

 

[Alex_225]

What a load of old gash that is!!

I mean by a 'dark past' they could mean a scuff in a car park that was repaired rather than a cut and shut. Let's face it with a lot of cars sitting around for months before they're even bought new, most cars have a repair/paint in their lives anyway.

Exactly.

What house hasn't had any polyfilla in its time?

Typical scaremongering from journalists that have no idea.

 

[Stephenx77]

I'm proud to say my 172 cup contributes to that 93%, being a cat D write off in feb 2003, only 5 months after it was first registered! God knows how lol

 

[G3 NYX]

I bought mine with a faulty coil pack!

 

[Alex_225]

I just bought mine with a dent in the door and scrape on the bumper, hardy think that's a shady past but the b*llocks in this article would lead you to think so!!

 

[Marky_]

Lol.
By tabloid standards if anything has been replaced it could be judged to be part of a "dark history".

 

[Dave..]

Clios and dark history? Must check mine out sometime.

 

[Dan519]

nah, that's a minter......

 

[Marky_]

Lunar eclipse iirc.

 

[Dave..]

nah, that's a minter......

Can I get that in writing?

 

[d reves]

Well I hope mine used to be a Jaguar!

 

[marky-f1]

93% are utter shite the other 7% have been crushed !

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Only issue with mine is that its French.

 

[Liamm]

Mines had a s**t respray on the boot but I think that may be because it's an ex council van so probably had chevrons on. Can see yellow marks under the paint. Hpi clear though lol.

 

[aucky]

that explains the insurance :rasp:

My renewal just came through with a 60% hike. AF can go whistle.

 

[jamie.91]

"Cars of more than 5 years old", makes my angry sometimes the way the world works, making cars ( and other stuff )to last half the time they could do in theory

 

[Skeeter]

Having a write off on record does not equal a 'dark secret'. Especially a C or D.

Typical newspaper BS. But then "88% of cars have a HPI report that isn't blank" isn't such a catchy headline...

 

[rumble291]

Mines blatently gone into the back of a car. Brand new headlight, radiator, bumper, grill, aircon pipes. Fully checked it over when I bought it seemed all good. Repairer did a good job on it

 

[Silent_Scone]

what a load of over dramatic c**t-dribble. DARK HISTORY.

You know whoever wrote it gets the tube to work every morning anyway.
