after the clio now on to new pastures

[Andycollins]

Well after stripping and selling my lovely little clio I've found myself a lovely bit of purpose built hillclimb kit and yet many will say why to my choice the main reason is i want something different so I've gone for a metro yes I did say metro but no ordinary one......

[Andycollins]

Hahaha that's bloody brilliant.

Please tell me it has near 200bhp.

It could be with abit of work, currently running a modest 150bhp from the little 1.4 but with a different cam setup should see 160 and with a change of pistons ect with money spent would see 200.

Epic motor, I'd have gone for that over a Clio too!

 

[Llewellyn]

Looks great fun, love the colour and everything.... 150bhp in something that weights sod all = :tongueout:
I've always really liked the shape of the metro, probably something to do with the Mighty Metro Scaletrix set I had as a kid.

Absolutely love it. One of my favourite cars on here. Genuinely.

My first car was a blue 1.1 of that era, swiftly followed by a GTi 'tro. I thought it was hilarious fun. Until I released it would fold up like tin foil in a crash. But with a cage etc your's has that issue solved.

Haha yeah if it wasn't for the cage I'd be a little worried as it is extensively lightened don't think anything has been missed if it's not needed it's gone lol

 

[AdDaMan]

Awesome.
