Bye Bye Clio.....56k - Go paint something!

[ajketley]

The clio has gone. It was an emotional goodbye but I believe it has gone to a good home. (I hope). Before it went I had to take some pics on its own and with my new car aswell. Ive now got a BMW Z3 1.9 - 148bhp. Hope you like the pics :approve:

Hello Z3

 

[XmicheX]

WOW!!!! nice cars! clio is in very good condition!! how much u let that go for?

 

[Ali]

thought the 2.8 or M was the only Z3 worht going for?!

how old are you?

Clio looks good tho!.

 

[ajketley]

£1200, I wanted a really quick sale so it had to go cheap. It was pretty much immaculate!!!

 

[ajketley]

Thanks, im 21. I think the m would be amazing but I dont see the point in paying maybe 2.5k in insurance!

Dont know what happened above? :S

 

[Clart]

are u a hairdresser?

 

[daveio]

^^^^ worthwhile comment as usual

looks good mate

 

[BenWall]

like the bmw

 

[polarbert]

Jesus christ that z3 is a bad car. 0-60 in 13 seconds!


Clio looked in good nick.

 

[Rhino172]

well done mate...that Clio was rapido for a 1.2! never seen one move so quick...will have to learn all your local roads again now tho as the beemer will be quite a handfull at first...

 

[Scott]

Nice upgrade there mate, i like the red leather

 

[Bluebeard]

A Z3? very strange choice mate, not for me!!

 

[Turkish]

Looks like a clean example (if you ignore the hideous chrome trims) but after having worked for BMW for 6years i wouldnt touch one. M roadster is ok and at a push the 2.8/3.0 but not a 4pot. Keep some cash aside for doing the headgasket, that lump lunches them for a pasttime. And some more for when the bootlid rots out due to the holes drilled in it for the previous owners luggage rack.

BMW Z3 = :dead:

 

[Ad]

Enjoy the new motor. As long as your happy with it then thats all that matters.

Interior is very nice.

 

[Topgun]

Dont forget to Slam it ! Look much better when lowered with an angry rear Camber...

 

[adam5mith666]

you guys may not like the Z3, but look at the car jump here! boy's done well at 21 to get a BM and insure it!! even if not for performance, jus for the pure look of owning a BMW. I say good on ya mate!!!

 

[Leeshez]

Blimey there cleaner than my 05 reg clio

 

[Justin]

yeah i agree ^^ nice upgrade if you ask me!

 

[GarethM]

very nice fella

both cars look nice

enjoy the Z3

 

[ajketley]

Thank you for your comments and as for the 0 - 60 in 13 secs (hahaha) on paper the later 1.9 does 0-60 in 8.4 secs and top speed of 123 and thats got 140bhp. Im sure mine, with the 8bhp more could manage a 8 - 8.2 secs 0-60 and ive already had it over 130 (secret airfield-undetecable to everyone else )

Oh and im not a hairdresser!

 

[joel_b]

nice clio that Nearly the same as mine but mines Ph3. not ph2

 

[172 Dave]

er the nearside rear tyre on the BMW is down to the metal cord on the inner shoulder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ajketley]

lol...I know i just got over carried away They were nearly down anyway so I thought why not finish them off! Got eagle f1s on order. Come on ive never owned rear wheel drive!

 

[172 Dave]

130+mph on that tyre, on a RWD drive car, you're insane

 

[ajketley]

nice clio that Nearly the same as mine but mines Ph3. not ph2

Dude where you from as there was a ph3 pretty much like mine at my uni!

 

[ajketley]

130+mph on that tyre, on a RWD drive car, you're insane

Yeh it was pretty sketchy, ill drive fast when ive got new tyres and have the roof up!

 

[Joef]

[polarbert]

you guys may not like the Z3, but look at the car jump here! boy's done well at 21 to get a BM and insure it!! even if not for performance, jus for the pure look of owning a BMW. I say good on ya mate!!!

Sorry but what performance? It does 0-60 in 13 seconds.

 

[polarbert]

later 1.9 does 0-60 in 8.4 secs

9.2 actually.

 

[Blue4Ever]

Fair doo's mate, both look nice. Ignore the keyboard warriors lol, if you're happy then what else matters?

How come the clio had different colour bumpers to bodywork?

 

[ajketley]

I wanted colour coded bumpers, originally I had the black bumpers but they were cracked and smashed when I got it. Got those bumpers for 3quid each on ebay but never got round to spraying them.

That's 'cause you drive into dirty fields when you go watching the dogging.
