[Clio_fool]

Had you just fallen out of love with it? Another Clio sold after being turbod . There's a pattern.

Its been turbod 3 years mate so i hardly just got rid after the conversion.

I adore thay car mate, but im not baller enough to keep up with maintaing it.

If you feel like the cars gonna break everytime you drive it there is no enjoyment in owning it. If you can fix it yourself then that’s all well and good but if you’re relying on other people it becomes a nightmare.

I’ve done conversions on two cars - mk2 golf vr6 and the 340. I lost money on both and looking back the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.

The new owner can look at this one with a fresh set of eyes and a fresh bank balance.
I’m sure he’ll enjoy it.

Exactly this. Know how you feel Tom and exactly why deep down, I've fallen out of love with my car. Can't wait to see what you get next.

 

[botfch]

+1 nothing worse than driving something that whenever it rattles you fear the worst.

 

[Mr Plums]

Thanks everyone for the kind words, its just a car i know, but i put everything into it.

The the owner looked slick, i cant wait to see what he does to it!

 

[Clio_fool]

Thanks Tom you're a top bloke!

I knew I recognised the name when Tom posted earlier! I'm sure it's in safe hands, and it's good to see it stay on the forum.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Never thought you'd actually sell it tbh

New owner has got a bargain I think

 

[leeds2592]

You wally!









I can see why you did it though, big shame never the less. Looking forward to seeing what's next

 

[182_steve]

I too never thought this would go, such a smart car! But fair play mate, you can always say you had one and you did have it a long time, as you said, certainly haven't just thrown in the towel after 5 mins!

Onwards and upwards, we all await what's next

P.S. Juice worth the squeeze? Someone else a fan of a certain Elisha Cuthbert film? 😂

 

[bill]

Wowzers! Whats next? You must be sniffing round something on ebay....

Clio 182 n/a

 

[Supernova]

Best thing i did this year was get rid of my clioturbo Tom.Always in the back of my mind every time it was out am i going to be stuck at the side of the road with a huge upcoming bill.Suppose it didnt help with all the disasters with who built it.
It blew up a few months later.

 

[Mr Plums]

Bye bye babes, all cleaned for the new owner, great easy guy to deal with cheers mate, i know its gone to a great home, straight for the engine taking out :up:

 

[hostler]

Sad times mate. Really looking forward to your next project.

 

[Stay Puft]

Looks good! Hopefully the new owner sees sense and puts turinis on!

 

[imprezaworks]

So what’s next face ache.

 

[Mr Plums]

So what’s next face ache.

I really dont know mate, probably a shitter to get me to work and back until i decide. I havnt got a clue, theres no point in looking for something as quick, so itll be a nippy hatch of some sort and try make it mint.

 

[McGherkin]

Wow. You actually did it.

Sad congrats. Actually end of an era, and secretly a car I really liked too.

Still, you can buy this now, add 100bhp over your last car.

Get a low mile 172 cup or a 182 mate. It’ll seem slow but it’ll work and hold its money.
