R.I.P. Panzer Bean

[Munson]

So, it's been five years and now it's going. I will be very sad to part company. Although it's a s**t car, it's been immense fun and served me well all over Europe, on road and track. It has worked hard.

The saddest part is knowing that the Panzer Bean name will die when it goes

R.I.P.

 

[Bluebeard]

How many miles you covered in it mate?

Do you know what the overall cost of ownership was?

 

[Gaz_]

I remember the excitement waiting for it to be delivered......... Brought to your house on a truck iirc?!

 

[Munson]

No idea on costs but it has worked f**king hard for me. Not far short of 60,000 miles.

 

[Needster]

I thought you didn't clean your car, you cnut. Looks clean in that first picture... Well, unless that's not the real bean.

What happened? Has it died? Or have you sold it?

Yeah

Stalker much?

LOL that was taken years ago. These days it's a bit of a wreck. Chopping it in against a new FRS this week

 

[Dave..]

Shame

Replacement?

Edit: Beaten to it. Good choice

 

[Needster]

Not a GT-R!?

Why you decide to get rid in the end? Sick of the rattles? Pics/links of new vee-hic-cal please?

 

[Munson]

As above. FRS.

 

[Gaz_]

Yeah

Stalker much?

Very,

 

[Tom]

FRS is rubbish. Keep the cup.

 

[Munson]

Roffle!

 

[Revels]

What is it with you and picking s**t colours?

 

[Munson]

What is it with you and picking s**t colours?

Bad taste I guess.

 

[ForceIndia]

Only 60k miles? Gay.

 

[Munson]

Should I do some more?

 

[Bluebeard]

Should I do some more?

At least 5k by weds.

 

[Munson]

Oh herrow.

 

[jon_r]

You'll miss it. Trust me.

Though i'd swap it for a FRS in a nano second!

 

[Munson]

You'll miss it. Trust me.

Yeah I know I will. That's pretty much a given, or I wouldn't have posted this thread.

 

[Needster]

^ Just cause you've been driving like a chav in your Clio all weekend! (JR)

 

[jon_r]

It's good to be back tbh. (Though i'm done with the rattles already).

 

[Munson]

I think the in-gear performance, build quality, and pure drama of the FRS will soon make me forget PB, which is a shame in some ways.

 

[Needster]

Probably. I haven't read all of that other thread, what colour did you opt for?

 

[Munson]

White.

 

[Needster]

Not bad. Sat behind one on the M1 today. At least you didn't choose the two most common colours ever, garish green and owful orange.

 

[Munson]

You can't get it in orange TBH.

 

[Needster]

Thinking of the ST innit. Doh. /stupid.

 

[Munson]

Anyway this isn't about the FRS, it's about what an awesome crack the Clio has been. They are s**t cars but I'm happy to have owned it

anypics i did a search but couldnt find any ment to ask earlier what do you do that involves trips to europe ?

 

[Munson]

I don't think there's any pics. Suffice it to say that the splitter and Cup badges were missing despite explicit requests to ensure their presence. Renault dealers...

 

[Revels]

I will, right up until pressing the starter button in the FRS.
