My Short Car History
Discussion
Been a memeber on here for well over a year but more of a lurker! Though it was about time i made my first post. Im only 20 so have'nt got a massive list like some of you but here goes:
First car was a 2001 Clio 1.2 16v Expression 5-door, bought very cheaply off my aunt who'd had it from new, only done 17,000 when i got it. Stayed completely standard. No pics sorry.
That was then p/ex'd against this, a 2004 Clio DCI Dynamique, the 80bhp model, which felt a big step up in power over the 1.2
Bought at 21k, sold 18 months later at 47k. Got 50mpg easily and went suprisingly well. Few subtle improvements like Clio 182 Anthracite alloys, colour-coded sidestrips, 182 grille, very slighly lowered and genuine (not bulbs) Xenon headlights, ended up looking like this
Soon got itchy feet and fancied a change, so after a long search came across every PistonHeads favourite..................
it's a 2003 1.8i Sport, top spec so it's got the 6-speed box, heated seasts, LSD and Bilstein suspension. Only done 6k miles since i've had it. Only thing i've done to it so far is fit a set of MX-5 Euphonic alloys and some nice new rubber. No more plans other than get a hardtop. May sell come spring time as i've got an itch for an E36 328I Sport Coupe that needs to be scratched!
And finally this
bought so i could keep the Mazda in the garage over winter, to keep the miles down, but i've completely fallen for it! Soooooo relaxing to drive, and in near mint condition (when it's clean!). It's a last of the line 190LE so it's got walnut, electric sunroof/windows and 8-hole alloys. Only done 82k with masses of service history, original bill of sale etc. It's definitly a keeper!
Anyway, sorry for the longish post. Let me know what you think???
