A Flock of Clios

[Coops Mk1]

and I ran, I ran so far away........you know rather than having to face sorting through this load of scrap

its all got a bit silly, I've basically gone and bought a tatty replica of the pair of clios I already had! another mk1 track car and another FF 182 runabout!rofl!!

 

[-Danman-]

Haha, what goes through your head?

Are you planning to keep all of them or are the two new additions just for the winter or spare parts or something?

 

[The Boosh!]

Why? What you doing with all those!? Fancy offloading one to me for ~1k. I miss mine

 

[Coops Mk1]

to be honest my head is so full of plans and ideas I have not a clue what to do at the mo.

long term plan is probably to bin the black 182 for parts, strip the RB back to standard trim, sell the bits and then sell it as a whole car.

meanwhile I'll make one track car from all the mk1 bits, probably in the F4R shell and then put the turbo back to standard interior/mild fast road suspension and use it daily

or perhaps i'll change my mind several times over coming months and anything could happen!!looool!

Luke there's plenty of 172's around for a grand, get one.

Coops you're just crazy. You know there are other cars for sale?

the black one may be MOT'd, standardised/repaired and sold but unsure as yet, if your genuinely interested Lukey boy we'll have a chat

Saw the BG on here, looked like a good buy mate.

 

[imprezaworks]

Reminds me of chi's (kangoosport) drive lol. Good effort on the collection though

 

[Dave..]

If you touch the turbo I'll chop your hands off and feed them to you.

 

[Daz.]

The one with orange wing mirrors looks soooo much better than the turbo - side strips!

 

[Coops Mk1]

Misguided and wrong as usual daz,but nice try

Dave,I may send you step by step pics of the turbos metamorphosis

 

[lewisredfern001]

[Leeshez]

why would I ever sell up the turbo and tbh I can take or leave BG, does nothing for me really but financially it'd make more sense!

Pfft - the only thing the turbo has over it is the roof skin. I've told you before I'm gonna find out where you live and sneak up one day and put black masking tape on the sides....

 

[not normal dan]

Yeah after meeting you at the pub when you collected my old exhaust your turbo is awesome the roof skin is a great subtle touch

 

[ch!ppen]

That's just selfish lol. Took my mate's Valver for a spin last night, first time i've driven one. I was a fan tbh.

 

[Coops Mk1]

mate being? not too many valvers left in Mansfield and I know of most

 

[Addz]

Hah! I'm sure I counted two and 3/4 last time I popped up?

Craig... You might not know of him tbf as he's mainly a Vauxhall lad. He's also got an old Chevette and a red top Nova on ITB's. The Nova is a real thing of beauty:

But i introduced him to Danny the other week, you might get to meet him at some point! He loves the Clio!

 

[Coops Mk1]

nah your right, don't know him but swear seen a post with the nova and the chevette in on c16v forum? or is it on here?

No pics of the Chevette on here... So unless he's joined c16v perhaps.

 

[Coops Mk1]

swear it must of been same bloke, nova looked identical and there was single snap of the chevette on the back of a tow truck (personal one, not AA or out)

Quite possible, at the time of getting the Chevette he did have access to a tow truck.

Poor photo but this is it:
