Bye Bye Clio

[leeds_182]

Once again the clio shall be leaving my life after 11 months of ownership. This one is my 5th and probably the last. Me and the mrs are expecting a baby and after experimenting with child seats in the cup I have decided to get a five door family car!

Clio will be going on Saturday morning to be replaced by.........A Vauxhall Vectra!!!

I will still have the Saxo VTS to attend meets in though.

H'actually congratulations on the expected arrival !!

Meh it's a car.... I'll be selling mine soon too as my lil one is due in December.. Defo wont be buying a vectra though lol

 

[leeds_182]

The boot is huge!

 

[JR]

Mondeo Tdci boot if massive too.

 

[Rossy197]

The boot is huge!

197 boot aint though, tried putting a buggy in the other day at mothercare for some trial runs.. Can only get a small crappy one to fit in nicely, The one she wanted had 2 hopes, Bob hope and no hope.. Bigger car needed

 

[Ali]

meh. Life goes on. Only a car at the end of the day!

 

[leeds_182]

Exactly.

Congrats on the wee one mate. It's only a car.

It's only a car? I can understand the sentiment, 'it's only a plant pot'. But to say a hot hatch that is nearly all things to all men does not warrant 'it's only a car'.

Congratulations on the baby though.

guid news, ill give you 6months with the vectra as they are pretty soulless and boring to drive.
Even the VXR i think would get a tad tedious from what a mate of mine who swapped up to the VXR from the 150 cdti said. Although he does 4500miles a month, so i think his fuel bill is winding him up

Aye congrats on the young un chap

Don't worry, first comes the mrs, then comes the baby, then comes the family car, then comes Daddies weekend car

 

[aldo56]

Surely there has to be some better cars out there with a boot big enough for a buggy and the rest of a baby's gear?

I vote an e36 bmw! Or an old merc, that would be cool.

Congrats on the baby by the way!

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Congratulations mate

197's are slow anyways
