Title: New Toy!
Post by: Alexander on August 29, 2012, 04:00:18 pm
To cut a long story short I am going to work overseas in 8 weeks and will be in and out of the UK. Since I sold the Audi I needed a run around. Started looking at Clio 172's & 182's (my absolute dream car when I was 17!) and ended up with this little beast!
I'm loving it so far, its like a little go kart compared to the Audi and GTI! Probably not something I would have for any length of time but a great little stop gap!

2!! That would explain why it took me while to find one if people are hogging them! I went to look at some absolute wrecks before finding this unmodified, original one owner example!

....Buy one, get one free? Rather like the current VW TV adverts set in grocery stores - "I'll take two".

I was looking for one too. Saw 4 locally, all low mileage, but complete sheds. Put me right off. Really hard to find a decent one that is as advertised.

I almost got put off and nearly put my sensible head on but was very lucky to come across this one albeit £300 over budget!
