FAO - Cliosport.net old-timers

[Wick]

Something I've been wondering for a while, just out of curiosity.

I assume at some point everyone on here came to CS due to Clio ownership. But for the majority of "old timers" (for want of a better word) I've never seen what Clio you actually used to own (and I've been lurking around almost 2 years).

So, if you have any to hand, stick some pics up... I'm interested to see what you started off with (before it became BMW/Audi/FRS/FRP/gti/shed.net, to name but a few that spring to mind).

Cheers
Sam

Old timers are well before our time

You may have to go archive fishing

I'm still driving the same 1.2 that i had when I registered....fml

 

[Sam]

You should put a year on that you class old timers before, as billybob might reappear in here!

Am i an old timer ?

Top effort that!

Don't really know how to quantify it :S Most people know when they've been about a long time. Maybe call it greater than 4/5 years... Not sure?! I know there's still a couple of 2003er's knocking about.

Edit: Bonxy, 2008 is pretty good going, chuck a pic up. Anything before the original bean?

1.2 16v which I had from new in 2003 when I joined the site. Factory xenons, electric everything etc. I went a bit crazy with options.

Carbon bonnet, 172 Aliums, exhaust and a drop.

Ph1 172. 2005 - 2007

Speedlines, Cup splitter, Ph2 bum, Ph2 lights, Ph2 strips, HIDs, exhaust, decat, filter and remap.

182. 2007 - 2012

Coilovers, Trophy Speedlines, filter, exhaust, decat.

200. 2012 - Present. Again, I went pretty mental with the options list.

H&R springs, HIDs and 16mm spacers will be on before September. Akrapovic exhaust before the end of the year.

Nice history Christopher. I'd only seen VFC and the 200 [/picwh*re]

 

[Joe#]

Hero Chris!

Never knew you used to have a 1.2

 

[leewxm]

[Christopher]

Yup. New in March 2003 when I joined here.

My join date says June 2004 though because Revels doesn't believe me. Lol.

[Dave..]

I wouldn't class me as old time, but I'm hardly new. I still drive the same shed unfortunately

 

[Gavin.]

That's some dedication

Top effort that!

It's a good car to be fair, although i'm always waiting for something to fail now. At 8 years old and 75k she still has the original exhaust, original rear drums and shoes, original shock absorbers etc etc. Only the tyres, front brakes and cambelt have ever been changed.

I have no idea how the back brakes are still in a working condition tbh.

But you knew that already, right ?!

 

[Christopher]

The 1.2 and the 172 are both dead now. :dapprove:

My 182's now owned by Rich (Ricardos) and he's kept it really well!

 

[Scoot]

Loved that car

 

[Russ_16v]

I dont think I have pics of my first Clio

I tihnk I had a silver L reg Clio 16v, with 16 inch OZ's, cat back exhaust, few other little bits

 

[Gally]

I had a 1.2 extreme. 172 Rep really. Have a few pics somewhere!

Don't think I even posted when I owned it!

 

[Djw John]

I'll ignore all the non clios I've owned!

Started my CS life with this

next one was

and I knew it was a ph1 that I really wanted so got this

sold it to Djw Dave and bought this

and then got this

You may notice a theme.....

 

[Leeshez]

I have the same car since i joined up.

 

[Wick]

But you knew that already, right ?!

Only because I stalk you on FB :evil:

I liked the black stealth bomber ph1 thing you had.

Credit to you mate! That's a long time! Any reason you haven't changed?

Cant afford to Kev, owning my own place and bills take the majority of my income. I decided a while ago that I will keep it until it no longer runs

 

[Wick]

Some cracking efforts in here so far!

Circa 2003 I'm sure I was drooling over maxpower magazine and the like so I'm praying for someone to chuck up a shocker

 

[yeecup]

Joined when I owned this, probably my favourite car ever, and it was as mint as it looks.

 

[realnumber 1]

I'm still in the one I got as I joined (almost 5 years now). Had it's up's and downs when things have needed fixing/replacing but I still love going for a blast in it when it's running well.

Not sure if I'm classed as old timer, been here since 2008.

 

[Djw John]

Great thread idea this btw

Agreed. To both points.

 

[Knuckles]

R-sports vee reminded me... There's a ph1 172 with a v6 looking front bumper round the corner from me... Wonder if it was on here

Could be saved tbf

[Sir_Dave]

Been on here nearly 7 years now - Sept '05!!!

Since then ive had a 172 cup (now owned by understeer_phil) a 182 Trophy (now owned by Luke.) the Shed Trophy, & 1 million BMWs.

Made some great mates over the years as well. Cliosport FTW
