Reintroduce myself.

[Sumner]

Hi,

I haven't posted on here for a number of years and even then I didn't post too much.

I have found the want for a nice car again after 4 years of not being interested in cars. So I went mad and bought a golf R32, so thought it best to get back on Cliosport where I know it's wealth of knowledge. I have seen a few members have owned/currently own R32's so will no doubt be asking lots of questions once I get a project thread going.

I used to own an ultra red 197 and a silver 182, both are the only cars I have regretted selling. I was close to another 197/200 but decided 5 doors was more practical with having 2 kids.

I wish I could afford a Renaultsport as a 2nd car/track car as they're cracking cars and surprisingly never had a problem when owning one. Hopefully I'll be able to get along to some meets and put names to faces.

Welcome back bud.

I'm new since you were here last and I'm an absolute Pain In The Arse! 😂

Hope you stick about mate, I guess it's true what everyone is saying! "They always come back"

:up:

Welcome back!!

Thanks for the welcome guys :smile:, I went with the mkV R32 in black. Once it's back from Panel Care getting it up to standard I will put a couple of photos up. Roll on Wednesday!

Currently driving in a dull as dishwater Volvo v40 :unamused:

Welcome back.

How's the clio going? Has it been 4 years? I wish I never sold the thing TBH

I got a 123d after the 182 and it was the most unreliable car I've had, just didn't get on with it. Hopefully the R32 will be abit better 😂

 

[Sumner]

Welcome back

I ended up with the MK5, I do love the mk4 though. I see you have the mk4, has it served you well?

Hi and welcome back.

I love the mentality of "I've bought a golf, I'll sign back up on cliosport.net"

I genuinely stand by that Clio owners are a minority on here haha

End of Jan 2013 it was yeah. It's still going well, got a few bits to refresh on it and it's having a diff put in soon.

I remember you getting the 123d, I gave it a once over with the DA polisher.

Ahhh yeh I remember the DA polishing, my mind drew a blank there. Do you still do the detailing side of things?

I'm glad the clio is still going strong, I'm going to try and refresh some suspension components once the weather warms up.

The worm turns.
Tatty Golfs are 2 a penny.
Proper Clio`s like Gus`s PB are few & far between.

Suppose that's the risk we take when buying them, luckily mine seems to have been looked after (touchwood). I just wanted the rear bumper re spraying and any dents sorting out, but I don't think I will get bored of the sound anytime soon
