Hi from north Lincolnshire!

[craigo]

Hi all, I thought it was about time I said hello. I have owned more cars than I can remember, 2 of which where Renaults. I had an
R26 Megane a few years ago which was just epic and a 21 turbo back in the day, that was fun!
I bought my 172 cup from OwenB86 via the forum a few weeks ago which is a great car but came with a ominous sounding knocking from the engine..... Quick trip to DDC in Doncaster confirmed my fears, new bottom end time...
A week later (and a fair chunk of cash gone!) she is back good as new!
Few pics for you below.

[craigo]

Welcome to CS mate! Sucky news to find out just after purchase but fair play for not giving up!

 

[craigo]

I knew it had a problem when I bought it and it was very cheap so I'm happy!

Hope to see you at CSF16 mate.

It's pretty much on your doorstep I think?

It's not far off at all. Blyton is about half way between sunny scunny and my home town of Lincoln.

Welcome to the club @craigo!! And more importantly, excellent choice! The mans choice allegedly. Lol

 

[craigo]

Haha definitely the man's choice! No electronic driver aids here!
Yeah Blyton is about 20 mins from me, done a few track days there always a good day out. CSF16 sounds great!

I have, sometimes pass through. If you see a green Elise with yellow stripes, wave.

 

[craigo]

Glad someone has Feirny! I'll keep an eye out for you!
