New Cambridge Cup owner

[MikeD]

Good evening all

Today I have put down a deposit on my first Renault - a 172 Cup to be precise :approve:

I have always admired the 172/182 family so am really looking forward to getting behind the wheel later this week.

Here's a pic...

Previous car was a 2000 Pug 306 gti-6 which I loved very much until it blew the entire contents of the oil system overthe A14 earlier this week).

I'm hoping the few extra ponies and lower weight will compensate for the lack of a sixth cog - i'm sure they will.

Cheers
Mike
