'They always come back'

[RDH]

Yup.

 

[leeds_182]

Nice.

 

[McGherkin]

@Lawro 's old one, nice!

 

[imprezaworks]

You bought it thrn rob, nice one

 

[Jekyll]

Ah I see that on the bay. Always did look a nice one, does it live up to the hype?

Hit me with the spec.

 

[Mr R.]

Hmmmmm dem seat's. [emoji106]

 

[imprezaworks]

Mint iirc

 

[Stefan.]

Great buy

 

[Joe#]

Always liked this car

 

[N4TH4N]

Wasn't this the car that was stolen a few yrs ago?
Lovely titanium though

 

[RDH]

Think the spec is the same as it is when it left lawro.

Nice to be back in a Clio, even though they are sh*te.

Edit: Yeah think it did get nicked.

 

[leeds_182]

Nice. Was just looking at the for sale ad.

 

[leeds_182]

Hence the thread title?

 

[imprezaworks]

Ha ha

It was, but it was just left parked up in case it had a tracker fitted. I doubt it was ragged around an estate for a week.

Was absolutely MINT in Lawro's ownership, proper concourse condition.

 

[RDH]

Its still is immaculate tbh. Got a few things in mind but I've bought this to save money so trying to just keep it as is.

1st car I've owned where the previous owners know how to clean and protect a car. Was a dream to clean.

 

[r0ss172]

Lovely buy mate, how does it compare to the Fiesta?

 

[RDH]

Its louder, not as comfortable, isn't as fast, uses more fuel, isn't as good to drive, interior is sh*te, stereo is worse than sh*te....

...and I f*cking love it.

 

[Mr Plums]

That really is very nice mate, you have got a good one there, did you pay top dollar?

Lol!! Good man!

Those seats!!!!!!!!

 

[RDH]

I paid top dollar yes but if I sold the seats then this is sub £3000 car which for the condition and history is more than worth it to me. I genuinely think I'd of struggled to find one as immaculate as this.

As of now my plan is never to sell it as I missed my old one so much, so we will see how that goes.

 

[Mavez]

Very nice mate, those seats are ace!

 

[RDH]

If anyone could point me to some suitable seat covers that would be great. Had a look on ebay etc and can't come across anything that is specificially made.

 

[Jekyll]

Rob, you need to get the proper RS mats. Would look sweet in there.

 

[RDH]

Yes new mats are on the list mate! Current ones are shagged.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

I saw this on ebay and realised it was Lawros mint one, I thought the asking price was fair considering the condition and seats! It's bloody lovely!:up:

 

[Jekyll]

Exactly. There are dogs on there that were/are £500 less.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

When I say fair I meant a bloody great buy, if I was selling it I'd have wanted more!!:smile:

 

[Stefan.]

Undersold it imo

 

[Jekyll]

Perfect OEM+ Clio.

This is how they should look.

 

[imprezaworks]

Awesome car. Great colour too

 

[RDH]

It was probably a tough one for jake to price really. On condition etc it was worth the money, but there is that many for sale now for £2500 or less that people instantly think it is over priced.

 

[welshname]

If I was going back to a Mk2 it would have to be like this.

What's it like mechanically?

 

[banther]

I swear I've seen this in and around Bristol before?! Could be wrong. Either way looks nice.

 

[McGherkin]

That's when Lawro had it.

 

[banther]

That's when Lawro had it.

Oh didnt see that.

 

[RDH]

Seems spot on to be fair, massive difference from what was a brand new fiesta and its a long time since I drove one. Feels old, but i suppose they are now.

 

[Paul.M]

@JakeyCUK We can no longer be friends haha.

Good luck with it, I know it was well looked after in Jacobs hands! It's a lovely motor.

 

[RDH]

One thing I have noticed is a slight gearbox whine, more noticable in 1st but I'm pretty sure my old one was the same? As said, long time since ive drove one. Changes gear smooth no crunching etc.

I had forgot how bad the gearboxes are tbh lol, changing gear is like stirring a bowl of porridge.

 

[JGTTDI]

@LCJK123 this is what you need!

@RDH This is incredible.
