Hello from Switzerland!



  Clio 172 PH2
Hi guys! My name is Chris and i'm from Switzerland (that lil' hole in the middle of Europe) :eek: i'm 36 and..well, 'ive owned many cars..and for many i mean..well..many :D Why i'm here? Well..my first love and my first new car was a Clio Williams back in '94. Since then i wasn't actually into Renaults but..i fell in love with that little beast. I sold this Willy a year after..and never had a Renault until..uhm..2007, after losing my job in a real estate, i sold my E36 M3, traded for a more frugal Mini Cooper and then..tired about the leasing, gave it back and well..took a modest used car..this:

I kept this until i've found a job, and since that job wasn't right next to my door..i had to sell it (it wasn't no more reliable with 225'000km)..

After that..and after 2 many cars..(lol) i decided to get a Clio again..but..i wanted a RS Ph 1 :cool: i kept searching 'til i've found a perfect one which was owned by a cousin of mine..and after a minor tweak..

I loved that car..and to be honest ..i miss her :( ..since one day i had a very intelligent idea to sell it and take this...urgh..piece of c**p..an mk4 GTI 1.8T which i planned to do it with my style..so..before, with all the damages..

Well..when i had the S3 i decided to switch my job and open by myself..so since expenses were high, i sold it..i used a crappy Golf which went from this..

I used to lurk around since my love for Clio's is an old story but..now i'm here. Excuse the very long post and..the very crappy english but isn't my mother language :eek:

my wallet needs to keep a "low profile" :eek: i wanted a little car with a little engine..i will focus a bit into making her more "personal" but..this is good for me atm ;)

Thank you Kane, the plan is something similar to the two Golfs..but more "easy" looking..i think nice rims (still have to decide what kind yet, but i will like something similar to Lenso BSX..even if i don't like fake BBS's :D ), a coilover, some minor detail outside like black badges, oem xenon, and something inside :)
