I've been on here for just over a year. Joined after buying a very low mileage Renaultsport Clio 197 full fat. Regrettably, if I'd joined first I would have realised I probably over paid, and would defiantly have got a cup spec'ed model with recaros. Nonetheless, I love it and it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it; similarly, a passing glance induces the same...
Passed my test at 17 and drove a Citroen AX for the first year. Whilst it remains the comfiest car I've ever sat in, I'm glad I did't crash it, as I likely wouldn't have made it out in one piece. I recall feeding the choke on a cold morning with a strange fondest. Next up was a Clio II phase one which I treated like a beater, despite it being in good condition when I got it. Went to Uni and was a named driver on my mum's Punto Sport, which I remember as being pretty nippy and firm; however, not sure what it would feel like post 197. I always wanted a motorbike, but as I didn't want to keep my mum up at night, I started looking at hot hatches and ended up with the clio.
So far I've added the following:
Miscellaneous
Exhaust & Intake
Imminent plans:
Future plans:
I only have a few random snaps to add for now, but I'll update them if I get a chance to detail it over the weekend:
