What's the furthest you've travelled to buy a Clio (or any other car!)?



  172 cup/Escort RST
I bought my Escort RS turbo less than a mile from my house and the Clio 172 cup from about the same distance.
 
I live in Bristol and have bought clios from...
Cumbria
Leeds
Halifax
Wrexham
St Ives
Norfolk
Ipswich

To name but a few.

As @gally says, what's a few hours to buy a car that you want? I can't understand people that set their parameters at 20 miles. Madness.

This is what i was trying to explain to the missus today, it just wasn't going in.
replies like
"can't be arsed"
"why not wait for something to crop up closer"

Never mind... It's about time for a sandwich..

My Clio 182 was walking distance lol, I literally walked there to see it...

I'm not one to go far tbh, I usually get what's near and make it my own! Furthest was probably about 50 miles for my R5 GT Turbo, but then they are pretty slim pickings aren't they.

My clio was about 150 miles round trip there abouts so not too bad at all.

Other than that I have got quite lucky really and never had to travel more than 120 or so miles round trip which is nothing in comparison to some of the above posts!

  Clio 182 - Mini 1989
I walked to the end of the road, about 40 meters, to look at a 182 with a for sale sign in the window...was only looking around it when the seller came out.

Was on my drive the next day.

Two months later and i'm still loving it. Cant ever see me selling.
 
I delivered a clio 182 to a friend of mine in the French Alps, literally the whole way across France, 20 minutes from Switzerland, around 650miles, left at 5AM and got there at 5PM

Picked up two trophy v6 race cars, one has been converted now to RHD and is road registered, the other is an ongoing project, but still requires a few parts. will post some pics as I get round to doing it.
