Sold it to Dan :(



  53 Clio's & counting
Thought i'd best explain for anyone who may want to know.

As I am still looking for a job, I didn't really have too much choice. As some of you know I do have two offers in the pipe line, but I am still waiting on confirmation for both/either, and as we know, anything can happen so I am certainly not going to wait and expect to get offered both.

So I have been looking at my options, and the first thing in the firing line was always going to be the Clio - it is a toy, only used on nice days, so it was a privilege, not a necessity. (And it goes without saying family comes first)

So I made the decision to sell it in case I don't get one of these jobs. The money from the sale will pay the bills for another 3 months, so it was a no brainer really, though I have held off as far as I can before selling :(

So knowing how much Dan loves my Clio (and the fact he is one of my closest mates) I knew it was going to a good home, so we came to an agreement on it, I got his A3 3.2 Quattro to sell and get first refusal to get it back.

So there we have it, I am sat here f**king gutted - bear in mind it's a piece of metal I'm not quite sure why, but obviously family first and paying the bills is more important than a car.


So enjoy it Dan, and I will steal it as much as possible lol.


But all is not lost, a mate of mine has been in touch, and I am going to be having his Ph1 172 Exclusive off him (That will be my 4th Exclusive) for pocket change, so still in a Clio lol

ANOTHER bloody exclusive? You must collect them!

Sorry to hear about your situation, wish you the best of luck so you can buy it back again!

I'm feeling sorry for the paintwork already. Dan (and I mean this in the nicest possible way!) is all about underneath rather than the shiny bits!

Exclusives are awesome, the fact so many people hate the colour combination of the semen coloured leather against the mental green paint makes me smile knowing their getting cheaper all the time!

I'd have another in a heartbeat, adore them.

Also chin up big fella, a man of your calibre wont be idle for long i wont imagine!x

A tough decision, but the right one given the current situation. :) Best of luck mate and it's only a matter of time until things pick up again. I knew you'd still be in a Clio of some sort though...

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I will have it back, just have to sit tight for a while - plus Dan will only improve it so it should be better once I get it back lol

But don't worry, it'll be very well looked after. It decided to break down earlier too. Lol. One new fuel line and it was all sorted.
