Mid-life crisis help needed

[TomROW]

I had a Clio 172 when I was 23-26, then a Mk5 Golf GTI 26-29……I turn 40 this year so did the sensible thing and bought a Mk5 R32 and a 182 🤷🏼‍♂️

Everything is half price or less for the Clio vs Golf, which is making the Clio project more fun, and eBay hunting is much less guilty.

Also I went to to see a lot of Golfs and Clios and the Clios were less rusty overall! I find apart from sills the shells aren’t too bad, it’s the gearboxes, interiors, exhausts, bushes, electrics, radiators, bodywork and interior trim that are the problem 😂

Haha at least we expect the Clio's to be s**t, our expectations of a Golf would be higher. 🤣 I had a Mk7 Golf GTI for a while, fun car. So good choice on the R32 tbh. 👌

Fcuk Clio’s
My rs200t done 60 miles last year
But my Ktm 1290 superduke evo came out a lot
Nothing like hanging on at 180 to sort a mid life crisis

There are some good 182,s about ! Mine is a good example.
One owner purchased new in 2004.
65000 miles.
No rust that I know of.

Very very rare to have original owners!
