[Allan-]

Actually on my second CS account as i lost my login details then made this one.
When i started out i had this (pics large sorry)

Then moved onto this

Then moved from clios and got a merc......
Then came back and got greedy lol

And one of these mk2's for daily

 

[172boost]

Not been here that long, joined in January 2007 when I bought my 172. Unfortunately it was a Friday Afternoon car and I only owned it for 7 months, put me off Renaults ever since. When it was good it was great, when it was bad it was expensive.
I think Cragius owned it for a short while too and it passed through Dan's garage at some point.

 

[Pete.]

I guess that I qualify as on old timer.

My first Cliosport

Then this moved into my life

Hardest decision ever to get rid and am now Clioless

 

[Clart]

This was the ACTUAL car that got me into Clios.... So so mint!

Shame it got written off shortly after i sold it

 

[Zmaster2k]

No way?! Gutting... wish id bought that instead of my GTT now

 

[Djw Dave]

Good thread this.

I started into clio's with this. (I only bought this as a stop gap after selling my Ax Gt.)

Bought with a set of oz's and some lowering springs, ended up like this

Whilst doing the turbo conversion i also bought this, it was already converted to 1.7t so i stole as much as i could and the scrapped it

Got this

I then stole all the good bits from the above and built this (16v, half cage seats etc)

Then this (Y534 KGX)

Then this

Replaced with this

And now i have these two.

Thats just my clios, if i include the ones i've made people buy:

my gf had this

and this

I got this for my mum (also bought this from john) I ended up smashing it into a brand new Saab

And thats just the clios. I've really had too many cars, for only just being 27.

Didnt realise this was yours JD?!

Had this picture saved on my computer for ages as the desktop. Made me buy a blue clio.

 

[Final Maxim]

that is sexual

 

[The Boosh!]

I wouldnt consider myself an old timer and I've been here a while. FM, Saner, Tom etc etc are old timers!

Yes, yes you have. Dread to think how many between us!

 

[Don]

I remember seeing Saner back in a meet at Trafford Centre when he had the green sheep in its original state (before Turinis, etc)...God that was a LONG time ago!!!

 

[Saner]

The Trafford Centre... Jeezzz! That was on one of the Peaks runs wasn't it? I remember way overcooking it on a hairpin, ending up on the other side of the road and thinking myself very very lucky.

Yeah mate....think it was 2005 or 2006. The Peak Runs were a good laugh...but with the mileage involved from W.Mids over there plus the speed cameras/patrols...not as much fun can be had as years ago.

That was back when Northy was the Rep...bloody hell....that was some years ago!!! #cringe

 

[Matt 16v]

Its been a while, i struggled to find some pics of my valver

Then i got an iceberg silver 172

and finally i'm on to my cup packed RB 182

 

[Djw Dave]

Yes, yes you have. Dread to think how many between us!

A few i bet. I'm still doing well with not buying another car this year.

 

[Dave S2K]

I owned two Clio's (the red one was the best)...

 

[jayxx83]

Nice thread. Had this for 12 months about 10 years ago

Then my beloved 182 which was killed from the rear

And now this which I have had the longest of any car... 4 years. Another car is probably on the cards next year but will be keeping this for weekend hoons.

 

[Chrisjk]

Started back with my humble 1.2

Then my rep based on an RSI

Real ph1

After that I moved on, jap for a while then a megane rs, until yesterday I got an evo 6.

 

[theduck]

My first was a 1.6 8v mk2 ph1 and I bloody loved it, pretty sure it's dead now though

Then had my 197 and now my ph1. Always been a car in between though.

[Gray]

Love Dynacup.

Is she still in the road, Fred?

 

[Russ_16v]

Oh look at that original pic of Dynacup! Bless it!

 

[Fred@BTM]

its been parked outside work for about a year, last time i drove it i did about £1K's worth of damage (didn't crash) bent the rear axle and 3 wheels curb hopping sideways on track, melted the brakes, and destroyed the box due to the brakes LOL!

 

[Russ_16v]

About bloody time for a rebuild, now you are getting close to getting that tarts car back up and finished

Loved your euro one couzens, it was seriously early on for "euro" in the clio world.

Jord's mk2 makes my tip dewy.

[Hixle]

Must. Not. Buy. A. V6.

 

[Donz144]

Ha, great thread. I've not posted for a LONG time but I look in occasionally and often think of Clio ownership again (I had a tussle with one today from Broxburn roundabout in Perth in the Scooby). I quite fancy a caged track Clio!

I began in a W reg 1.2 MTV.

Then the mk2 172 (205 bhp)

I then turned to subarus! Heres the latest cosworth forged 410 bhp WRX wagon!

 

[Djw John]

Must. Buy. A. V6.

Fixed that for you.

If I could, I would. In a second. Just to tick a big box.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Didn't think V6's were your bag, John...?
