After 3 years and 200 miles, My Clio is back at home with me....

[Bluebeard]

My first ever 172. I sold it nearly three years ago to a member off here but tonight after a few emails back and forth, I bought it back. After owning about 9 172's in the middle, this is by far the best Renaultsport I have ever owned!!! I can't get pics now obviously as its nearly 1am and dark.... And i'm knackered!!

This is how it looked when I sold it

And I will follow this post up with a progress report on what i'm doing to it to get it back in ship shape fashion! I'm off to bed now as i'm fcuked! lol.

 

[Curley]

Aww this is a cute story lol Good to hear! Who had it?

If ship shape fasion is putting it back on standard wheels then drop me a PM about the turinis

 

[Bluebeard]

There will be no sale of turinis!

I sold it to MrMahoosive on here. He's kept it mint to be fair! Plus fitted coilovers/buckets etc. I kept it right uptogether before I sold it. Cambelt/auxbelt, smoothed bonnet, yadda yadda yadda, I've now Just a few niggly electrical bits to sort hopefully.

I'm so happy. I properly loved that car!!!

[Bluebeard]

[Beef-Mc]

[Bluebeard]

I think you misunderstood...

The 9 cars are my own, not the company's to sell! FLOL!

 

[Vish]

Got to be a great feeling buying an old car you loved and getting it back. Does it feel just as good as you remember?

9 172s inbetween?! Have you owned the most Renault Sports on here? And now 9 cars lol how do you choose what to drive?

 

[Bluebeard]

how do you choose what to drive?

I only really drive my work van. I work 7 days a week so I have no real use for any of my cars. I love cars though so I can't help it.

 

[koi]

it's only done 300 miles in those 3 years??

 

[Aluco]

I think he meant he had to drive 300 miles to get it.

Fpmsl at having 9 cars not tied up in the business ! :lolup:

how does your wife put up with you? and she's pretty from what I remember, you must be hung! lol

 

[Aluco]

Dan I'll swap you my 172 for that clio v6 rep you have for sale then you can have twin ph1's.

 

[alex-avfc]

9 CARS?! Some boy! Making the most of that traders insurance I suppose

 

[Bluebeard]

A little update, its now running sweet as a nut. Just had it serviced and completely checked over. Just need to wait for a new fuel pipe from Renault (its on back order.....) and then i'm good to go!

 

[Budgie]

Awesome!

 

[Jamie]

Was it a good cash price Dan?

 

[Bluebeard]

Was it a good cash price Dan?

Only the best James.

 

[cat171]

Danileson, your a crazy man Does it still look the same as that pic ?

 

[Mells]

[yellowbelly]

[JD]

Nice!

 

[Bluebeard]

Danileson, your a crazy man Does it still look the same as that pic ?

Cosmetically yeah. Although now its stripped with coilovers, buckets harnesses etc. Unsure of under the bonnet as I didn't even lift it up! Just whacked it on the trailer and dropped it off at the workshop.

Picking it up tomorrow so I'll get some pics up then.
