Little car story because 2 months of lockdown is getting a bit dull...
So I sold my BG Clio 182 around 4 years ago and still have an itch for the Clio.
I bought it from one of the slightly more senior guys at work, he had it from new. Picked it up with about 37k on the clock, on a 54 plate, full service history and in fantastic condition. I ran it as my daily for nearly six years, maintained it properly and genuinely loved it, putting on about 50k miles in my ownership. Got some car park envy at work and had to ditch the youthful connotations that came with the Clio... unfortunately I sold it as space was premium as I took delivery of my new Golf.
Sold it on eBay to a guy he said he was coming from Greece... thought it was a wind up. We arranged everything and he said he was going to pick car up at midday...got a text about 1000hrs saying he was going to arrive later than he thought... say maybe about 1800hrs. Got to 1800hrs, no show, naturally started looking at other alternatives for selling. It got to around 2000hrs and a knock at the door. It was the Greek guy with his mate. Turns out they went to Scotland to pick up a Maserati Q Bi turbo, him and his friend were ‘racing/driving’ each other back to Greece. That was the last I saw of it. Been through a few cars since and now really want another Cliosport as a weekend toy (The wife will never know).
Will dig some pictures up if anyone is remotely interested.
