clio 172 phase 2
By the way sold the 182 and purchased a mint phase 2 172, with cash to spare! 172 seems quicker to me anyhow

indeed... I don't think there's a maximum age for buying a RenaultSport.

I was feeling like I was getting a bit old the other day because I'm approaching 20.
Ive just gone 20 and i do actually feel old now...
Clio 1.2 for the boys.
Well I must have mental problems then.
I have had to re think my life due to heart op, but that dosent stop me from wanting one having just sold my mitsubishi 3.5 V6!
Life got to be about fun, even at 47

hopefully be on the lookout for an original mini soon too....
You can never be too old for a fun car IMO!
Little story from Donington Park a few weeks back. Myself and a mate, both mid 20s walked past a really old couple (70s easily) sat having a picnic lunch in a brand new Porsche 911 GT3! We both joked that he must drive like a codger, doing 30 down the backroads. Got talking to him later on and turns out he'd been a racing driver for years. His best quote, "the wife wasn't too impressed when I did 165mph with her in the car at Brands Hatch!"

A couple pulled out of airport parking (right next to work) must have been in their 70's....
Black R26-R with hero (red) wheels..
I looked in amazement as they bowled past, they looked up and waved!!
Fair play.... can't imagine it's easy at that age un-doing 6 point harnesses to get in and out:S

Crappy work hire car
I'm 29 and saving up for my first RS Clio - I'll be getting a 197 in September when I give the company car back (no point before then - free car).
25 is definitely not too old in fact its probably the perfect time to start since insurance goes down and you should have a bit more maturity in your driving style (but not too much, its supposed to be fun!).

Well said
Had a few original Mini's they're great ! Last one was a 1970 MK3 Cooper S with over 100BHP Loved it

probably due to its size.
Generally speaking, there no age limit, but its down to social pressure, as a clio is a clio to others, which obviously has an effect on you. If you like a car, keep it, period. With the way society is, it seems that the only way you'd get ''man points'' is if others can see its stripped out with a roll cage and hold a ''oh, he only uses it for racing'' view. Otherwise

That is a very narrow minded view, so if I have a Clio on my drive in 2 years time I need to rethink my life ? I think not !!! Not being funny but it doesn't matter who you are or how much you have, if you like something you have it or aspire to it.

Good god, I thought you were about 18 with this comment before lol.

Lol - I had to juggle insurance about for a few weeks when I got mine - as my insurer wouldn't touch me until I was 30.

That's going to be on my epitaph
. TBH the last time I did mechanical work on a car it was a 1977 Mini Clubman so what do I know. Thanks for everyone letting me know.
