From YOJ - back in another clio!

[TomS]

Hi All

I'm sure a few of you knew of my old valver. Well after selling the YOJ a few years ago, I moved on to a Lupo GTI and now have a Polo GT as a daily worker. Love my VW's and the quality just can't be faulted of both those cars.


This weekend I picked up the new arrival and for anyone that knows me at all will know how long I've craved one of these. I'll keep it short and sweet:

2003 Mars Red
Standard
No. 0477

The drive back from Scotland to South West was superb but looooong! averaged 33mpg which I was chuffed with!

Sorry about all the pics but I'm quite excited!

/That is all.

pmsl! my face was a picture when I filled it up and saw what it said it would return!! so I was doing 65 mph most of the way back!

 

[Brian]

WOW, I remember YOJ well.

I bet you're well pleased with that :approve:

 

[Ali]

I get about 26-28 on long runs, even at 90! Pretty good really.

 

[Jamie]

I'm only getting 34 mpg from the Trophy just now so that's a proper effort on fuel.

 

[Whiteley]

Stunning. Big Iains(?) old one?

 

[alex020869]

Very nice car mate. I recognise it from a meet up here a while back.

Enjoy it.

 

[TomS]

Cheers for the comments everyone

Brian - yeah I'm over the moon mate, bet you're enjoying your new arrival!

Ali, after a good 2 hour drive around the town it still said 28mpg which was decent I thought.

 

[TomS]

Cheers - Nope, a chap called Dave who is over on v6.net.....

Looked after it well.

Cheers Alex!

 

[Ali]

Big Iain still has his for reference...

 

[TomS]

He'll be pleased this one's no longer in Bonnie Scotland

Dave's mate Russell took loads of pics of it at the meet we had. Ali might be able to source some of them for you.
