well after a couple of years of driving around in me puma,i have decided that it made me feel a bit gay.dont get me wrong it has stood me at nothing over the years and saved me a fortune in juice.the only problem with it really is its too god damn slow.when i go off for the day anywere i might as well just saddle up a snail and go on that.so what i wanted was something that was comfy,quiet,nice to drive and had a little bit of go go,but also something thats not too nice that i have to be pampering it every day.so i had a look around and after 5 mins decided on a clio 182.so last week before i went on my holls i put a deposit down on one, then yesterday got the train down to southampton to pick it up.its got the odd little ding here and there and the wheels have some scuffs,but i'm going to get them sprayed anthracite anyway.to say its only a clio it has every thing fitted.air con,cruise con,traction con,elec windows,mirrors,xenon headlamps,cd player and so on.now its not what i would call fast,but its quite nippy and handles like its on rails,so really its just what i was looking for.i dont think its every bodys cup of tea but up to now i think for the money its a great little runabout,and as long as ive still got the scoob in the garage ready for when i want some real power then it'l do for me.p.s go easy on me.
a few pics.

let me know if you need any spares mate, I manage the stores at a renault main dealer so i'll sort you some proper discount out. ps good choice will last forever as long as you service it on time (timing belt a must) and use the correct oil.

i had a look at a black one but then i saw a blue one with the dark coloured wheels and it just brought back memories of my old blue scoob,so it just had to be a blue one.gunna have a drive down to lsn coatings in cas to see if they can sort the wheels out.
