Hi guys, this is being a really long week, reason is I bought a Clio 172 Cup on Saturday, but because the car is 250 miles away I won't get it until next Saturday(8th). Oh well, I suppose it will be like Xmas coming early anyway. Can't wait!
I have recently given back my company car back due to a change of job and also sold my Fiat coupe 20VT, which was my weekend toy. The Clio Cup is to replace my company car, Am only doing a total of 40 miles a day so wanted something that was quick but would still return 30mpg+ on a mw/dual carriageway jaunt. The 172 ticked all the boxes but after driving the 172ff and the Cup back to back I decided i could live without all the mod cons. Am planning to buy something along the lines of a mk1 Elise next Spring to replace the 20VT.
Just got my Cup insurance sorted out and been looking into th eprice of things like tyres/consumables for the car and I'm quite impressed by the cheap price of things. (Last few cars I've owned its been £100++ for decent tyres.)
I promised myself th enext car I had I wouldn't mod, but I've caught myself this morning at work reading through a few tuning posts so I'll prob be back here on Sunday asking for advice about the best mods. Thinking Ktec big brake kit and a set of H&R coilovers.
Oh well, roll on Saturday......
