New 197 member from Ireland

Hi guys and gals,

Been browsing around the site for a week now since I bought a 2007 197. I bought it pretty quickly from my friend and member, Marty Moore. Since he bought his black one last year I've thought they were cool cars.

So last week Marty decided he was buying an integra and the clio was going to be sold. I said **** it I'm buying it. I sold my bmw 320d within 24 hours to a friend for good money and bought the clio. I was somewhat regretting selling the bmw but I've been himming and honning whether or not to sell since November so thanks to Marty offering the clio for great money I was sold.

No major plans really. Just the usual of getting it on some H&Rs, a Cup spoiler and maybe tinted windows for the rear. Recaros of some sort down the line.... I'll drive it on and enjoy it on the odd Trackday maybe. I'll be also bringing it into the garage next week and spend a few days removing some swirls in the paint. Bit of a clean freak when getting a new car.

i also always like to have a second car in the garage to tinker around with

Got rid of that 18 months ago and replaced it with a FC RX7 Vert. Rare on our shores.

I might start a project thread but there isn't much going to be happening with it.... I'll just enjoy the site.
