Newbie with a landrover from edinburgh area

[Gwalk]

Hello everyone.

iv been looking into getting a clio 172/182 for quite a bit time now, so now the winter is gone and its becoming better weather it is now time to sell the landrover and get one! Test drove a PB 182 and a local garage and they drive amazing, the power is good right through to the balance of the whole car. I couldn't fault it! Hopefully in a week or two I will be a proud owner of a clio and not a hill billy mechine haha!

Thanks for looking, Grant.
