Yorkshire Spring Chit Chat

[Clio_fool]

Sorry guys, really busy atm with uni, money is also very tight, not sure wether I’ll be driving for another year. Hopefully I’ll renew my insurance at end of April (price dependant) and after exams in May I’ll be more active.

Slacker.

Get a job over summer and get yourself a 182. You know it makes sense.

 

[RenaultVirgin]

Yep, currently working for my dad over Easter but can’t rely on him for paying me on time. 182/172 not on the cards yet, still too young/not enough NCB for a decent insurance quote. Looking for jobs in huddersfield atm, if I can get one, I’ll be saving up, but atm I’ve fallen out of love with my turd. Had a heap of issues with it recently. Still, we will see what happens with time, I’ll probably end up keeping it and paying my insurance monthly. I need to focus on passing my course for now.

Damn April already and no meets yet. Anyone still alive in here?

Nope, I have paid £4.50 for a pair of windscreen wipers for it though. Treating it well, only the best!

I know im going back a page but clumber park could be a good meet up, if you dont want to pay to go in could have it on the grass area as you approach, then when the ticket bloke comes around just relocate

Ask and you shall receive. Here it is sports fans. Excuse the no numberplate, it fell off so I was in the process of sticking it back on.

You got the dogging edition. Extra room in the back, wipe clean seats and lots of windows.

Proper old mans car! I’ve been using my dads mondeo st for last 3 weeks and tbh I’m quite liking it! Heated seats the lot! Saving a fortune on fuel aswell, still looking for a daily to replace the Clio

Can even open the back windows from the buttons on the drivers door.

This has got heated seats and I just gone through my first full tank of fuel and got over 50mpg. It's great, I love it!

Honestly for just over £700 It's absolutely bang on.

I did try last weekend and it was as dead as a dodo. Hoping to jump it back in life and give it a bit of love this weekend with a full service.

 

[Clio_fool]

Anyone fancy a blast this month while the weather is nice?

Dependent upon the date, yes. Although I've STILL not driven it so I'll need to jump it and make sure everything's ok haha.

 

[fake ben taylor]

Alive and kicking here, Oulton on Tuesday was a lot of fun
Not sure if anyone saw on fb, blew my original engine as hadn't checked oil level.... Ever..... And it ran dry
Now on a 80k with belts done engine instead of 130k and belts due. Woop!

 

[RenaultVirgin]

I’m at the normal spot. Weather is so nice and it’s not far from me so impromptu drive out, I’ll try and scout some roads for a meet soon.

Someone needs to give him some pocket money to buy a 182

He could easily buy and insure one with what he’s spent on it and the insurance he pays cos he declares all his mods.

Any luck? We need get something going. All I ever see round Leeds is parked up Volkswagen vape fests or chaved out kids in corsas doing handbrake turns round Birstall.

 

[Clio_fool]

Lol. I need to have a run on Saturday so my car can reach 100k doing something other than going to bloody work!

 

[donnylad]

I might be able to pop out Saturday morning, at Curborough in the afternoon though!

 

[Krarl]

Since buying my 172 I don’t see the point in throwing money at a slow car[emoji23]

I only lob money at my dCi because it makes choo-choo noises[emoji23]

Monaco is nearly ready for MOT finally, just a few minor bits to do. Anyone fancy for some time out soon as I'll need to kick it's head in a lot before it gets stuck on any sort of track! ?

 

[Clio_fool]

I'd be up for a nice run up to the Huntsman.

 

[Krarl]

That's what I like to hear. @CliosportCal is definitely up for it, I can already tell

 

[Kermit the Van]

Well looking at the quotes atm the compulsory is £500 for most policies then I'm adding £250 voluntary. That's the only way I can get it under about £1.5k

Ay-up

A belated congrats on passing your test, but you saying how much your insurance was / is, got me thinking.

I passed my test in January 1995, aged 17. I worked in the pub game, so my insurance was loaded because of that, and after I’d got a years no claims, all the rest of my cars were (usually) French hot hatches. My insurance didn’t dip below £1000 until I was 25, and only went down to something sensible when I got to 30.

Considering the average wage 25 years ago, and how much further £1 went back then, all things considered, £1500 insurance for a new driver now seems like better value than £1000 - £1200 for a new driver 25 years ago.

Anyway, Sheffield here.
