Newbie just bought a 172 Ph1

Hi Guys and Gals

Just thought I'd introduce myself.
I currently race in the Midland Hillclimb Championship and my usual car is 3 Door Sierra Cosworth unfortunatley 3 weeks before the start of the season on the rolling road it span a shell pretty much devasting the bottom end. No time or indeed money to get it ready in time.
So I was advised a Clio 172 would be the way to and drop down into the under 2000cc Class.
After having a look at few I found a very nice looking 172 Phase 1 in Flame Red a mere 3 miles from my house, a deal was done and now it sitting in my garage.
Just need a another set of alloys for some super sticky 1B tyres throw a Bucket seat and harness in a few little things to make it Hillclimb compliant and I'll be ready to go for the 1st round at Prescott on the 25th and 26th of April.

best 1*2 (apart from Trophy). Number plate logo suggests it might have been on here at some stage?

Yes I bought it off a fella on here "SxDaN"
First time I drove a 172 was on the test drive and have to say I was pleasantly suprised at how well it drove.
