Bye bye Turbo clio

[Djw Dave]

Sad day yesterday, sold my turbo Clio. It was sitting doing nothing and due to new job/lack of intrest i thought it would be better to get rid.

Had the Car for 5 years, did everything i wanted to do it threw around £8k at it. It was stupid as i look back at it, but it was what i wanted at the time. I hope the new owner has more time than i did, to rebuild it and get it back to its great comdition pre break in. On wards and upwards as they say. Hopefully somthing will come along to take the pain away. :rasp:

I really just need a Cs hug.

Had some good times and some bad times, but its been an emotional ride.

Its been a huge learning curve, always bring mates together, either for shows, mods or repairs when it broke or i ran out of talent behind the wheel.

Thanks to all that helped over the years, mostly John for giving up his nights, days and weekends to keep the ol' girl on the go.

Thanks all.

What happened to it to end up in that state?

 

[Ali]

Christ 8k!! Thought it was all done on the cheap!

Was a good project right enough.

Onwards and upwards?

 

[Pettsi]

Nice project you had there!

 

[Djw Dave]

What happened to it to end up in that state?

It got broken into, after that i sold some of the good bits, coilovers, seats, wheels etc to fund another car to get to and fro.

Christ 8k!! Thought it was all done on the cheap!

Was a good project right enough.

Onwards and upwards?

Aye £8k, over 4 years though, it had 4 sets of seats from willys to cobras. Painted 3 times and countless other things. true labour of love!

Onwards and upwards, not sure whats next but gotta be better than a Mk1 eh Ali

Nice project you had there!

Cheers mate, was a great wee car. But its gone to a good home. (hopefully)

[Djw Dave]

Whats next on the cards?

Indeed it was, i think i did more miles in the pass side of Johns than i did in the drivers side of mines.

Not sure whats next, still got my valver Sl@g, but as i say thats up for sale soon.

Other than that its paying off the credit card and loan, just see whats around when i have some spare cash? 106 D maybe
