Focus st3 & t5.1 day
Ladies and gentlepersons
First of all, a massive thank you @Filters for all your help, true gent and scholar!
And thank you @AJFisher for holding the car for me and being a top bloke, pleasure to deal with!
So..
As some of you know my scoob let go at the end of the last meet.. Had such a great day which sadly came to a costly end..
Seeing as its off the road now, I needed a fun car again asap, the girlfriends yellow mg zr just isn't cutting it lol
Looking for a more sensible daily, and filters constantly telling me I need a clio again and having owned a racing blue FF before.. I started looking and found a lovely 172.. Still checking the cs sales pages and other sites.. As I'm messaging the seller of said 172, this AJFisher happened to put his 182 up for sale in my budget.. It seemed like it was meant to be!
Few messages back and forth between us, I was happy with what was said.. Only down side, the car was in Leicester! Bit of a mission I thought, when talking to filters he offers to pick me from his local station and drive me up to see it! What a legend!
Anyways long story short, we went, we saw, and we brought it home! Totally forgetting how much fun these little cars are!
She's a 182 FF in titanium silver, still has genuine cup splitter on the front, the wheels and mirror caps are fiat campovolo grey, they really do look better in person, I'm sure filters will agree, they are a b**ch to photograph to show the correct colour they actually are!
Has a few niggles but won't cost a bomb to fix up and I'm loving owning a clio again!
Roll on the next meets!
