Howdy Folks,

Thought i'd say hey seeing as I'm now a paid up ClioSport Member

I'm Dan, from Chandlers Ford hampshire. Work as a Server & Storage Engineer. I'm an MCSE, MCSA, MCDST, MCITP & a VCP4 so I'm kind of an I.T geek hence I'm always at a computer so anyone who used to kick around Cruiseboard, Cruise-South, Mig-Web & Roybacer as early as 2000 may remember me as dan_5door_johnson

Was also a founding member of C-Side Cruisers around 2004/2005 (danny_5door)

Organised plenty of cruises & ran plenty of convoys "back in the day" but a fully settled husband to be now (6th October I get married!)

I'm sure to be one of the old boys round here

Car history goes a little something like this

Nova (Come on it was 1999!!!)

• 1.6 16v Corsa Gsi Engine Conversion, Vauxhall Cav GSi Brakes, BAT front bumper, RS2000 sideskirts, Lowered, Abyss rear bumper, full respray, GSI Dash, 16" Mile Migla Spyders etc

106 XSi

• 17", lowered, bucket seats, install etc etc

Audi A4 Turbo

• Coilovers, 19s, install etc etc

Corsa GSi with 2.0 16v Conversion

• just the 2.0 16v conversion

BMW E30 design Cab

• 18s, lowered etc

Audi A4 Estate

• Keskins, Coilovers etc

Volks Polo

• My run around while I bought my first place, ended up with banded splits lowered & 16v bumpers lol

Impreza Wagon

• Scooby world cell 200 Sports Cat, Scooby world Cat back ninja exhaust, Pipercross filter, FMIC, New Turbo (can't remember What now) & a jolly green monster re-map

Volks Passat

• 2 piece RH splits (17x10 & 17x9.5) coilovers, etc

E46 BMW 320

• First car I never touched!!

Clio Dci 2005

• I Bought this as me & the wife (and her 2 kids) have just moved to a new place, so running this place & subsidsing my flat while I rent it out meant the £350 fuel bill a month for my Beemer was insustainable (It was also coming up for its Inspect 2 service which would have been a grand!)
• Got some plans, I've picked up a full 172 kit already (bumpers, wings, skirts etc) & i'm in the process of smoothing them out, actively looking for some 16s & some coilovers & a 182/172 leather sport interior so i'm likely to be most active in the market section. I'll be doing all the work myself too!
