Thought I would share a few pics of my Renault history.
first car in 1989,can remember being quite happy driving my parents Toyota Corollas,this car changed all that,must have spent about. 6 hours a night behind the wheel...just for the hell of it.
kept that one for around 18 months and totting up the miles and a few repairs,this was followed by the worst car I've ever owned,another R5 GT Turbo,"F" plate and never ran right from the day I got it,no pics of this one thank god.
we then skip a few non Renault cars upto about 94 when I bought this standard Clio 16v with a view of making it into my dream car at the time.
i drove it for about 2 weeks as a standard car before dropping it off to Dimma to have their latest creation fitted,this is how it looked on its return at the end of that summer
I can remember the anticipation waiting to pick it up,I was like a kid at Christmas.
Another big jump in years to around 2005 and bought this from a mate thinking it would be good to use as a run around,I had a Type R impreza at the time so was thinking the clio would be a lot more economical ;( it felt worse on fuel so it didn't last long.
now onto my current Renault cars after a long absence,bought this 182 cup last August with a view to doing a few bits as and when I could
since picking it up I've replaced the wheels & tyres from demon Tweeks with some 15" pro race and replaced the rear shocks with new cup items,that was the start of a few mods to keep it tidy until last month when this popped up for sale ;
it had all the mods plus a lot more than I was planning so a trip to Scotland later this became my new car,my RB cup will be going up for sale when I get chance,I'm hoping to do a track day or two as it's been a few years since I scared myself on circuit.
