Right a timely update!
The Kia is still performing very well as the family wagon and has recently been to Holland and Disneyland Paris loaded up but handled everything very well
This is on the Belgium border if i remember rightly
The Mini is still with me and apart from a new Radiator this month has been reliable.
A couple of pictures from Brandshatch back in October i think
The biggest change is the recent addition of this. A Renaultsport Clio 197 F1 Team. As you can see its in Liquid yellow and has the Recaros and a Trophy rear spoiler not the usual cup one. Apart from that its completely standard! Good service history inc belts etc being done. I made a cheeky offer and they accepted! So now i have two hot hatches. Not sure if they will both stay long term but who knows!
A couple of pictures anyways

Mini has just last week had a rear brake overhaul with some pagid discs and pads, new calliper as one was sticking and a new handbrake cable! All this meant it sailed through the mot so might well be up for sale in the next month or so
Clio - had the wheels re cmfurbed black with matching centre caps
Also fixed the heater part cost £23 and got my local garage to do the electric totalling £48 so not too bad 😀

I remember this car from back in the day on the Saxo forums. I absolutely loved your Saxo, it was ace. Do you know if it is still on the road?

If i was looking now i'd be tempted by the VTS DIEsel tbh although think there prices are still considerably more?
Decent little car tho!
I had a Track spec Saxo VTS before the S2000 came along which has the "basic" same engine as the C2

Hi only just seen the reply on this and the answer is no I don't know I did try tracking the old ref but not a lot came up. I would love to actually buy it back if I could!
In other news I have a new addition in the form of a liquid yellow megane F1 to sit alongside the Clio!
Totally standard with only 69k on the clock and very mint!
So the drive is very erm.... yellow!
The Kia is still with us also and going well with nothing much to report
Anyway some pics of the megane

Nice Rs cars there. Why two similar types of cars ? Is one yours and one the wife's? Just curious as to why you'd have both at the same time? I can see why you had the c2 at the same time as the s2k for example but now you have two hot hatches that are probably equally fun and not great on fuel...
Cheers patch the Saxo was defo on another level back then but also taught me a very important lesson in spending lots of money on a car never to get it back! Although I do forget that on occasions!
The wife has the Kia for family duties and I've tried to cut down to just one car but you know what it's like! everything seems to over lap somewhat but come the summer time the Clio will prob get moved on and something else take its place
They are both very similar cars but the meg seems more "grown" up if that makes sense and is a bit bigger

Well the Clio has gone! About 5 weeks now actually and a replacement is coming next week in the shape of a small fiat panda! The 100hp to be exact.
I've always wanted to try one for some strange reason so I'm Hoping it will obviously be a little more economical but still a bit of fun on the commute to work which is mainly twisty B roads 😁
I'll post some pics up once it's arrived
Only other update is the Meg now sounds a bit better with a K tec 3inch system fitted

Well I HAVE A PANDA! Didn't think I'd ever need or want one but now it's here I love it! Ok it's never going to be the fastest car in the world but on my 20 mile commute to work in the early or late hours across B roads I completely see why it always got such good reviews.
The car is a 2007 car and had belts etc done 2 months ago as well as a major service, has had quite a lot of money thrown at it with wheels being re furbed the colour of the car, custom exhaust and filter and an uprated stereo double din touch screen (including sub under passenger seat)
Has a couple of little things that need sorting as the rear wiper is broken and one of the side indicators needs replacing oh and a small car park sent on the drivers side but nothing major
Plan is to keep this as the daily for a little while and at some point sell the meg and buy something more "weekend friendly"
Anyway a pic or two

Update
Kia Soul Maxx - departed
Kia Soul Sport - arrived
Quite similar to the last one however the biggest change being 201hp and 0-60 in 7 seconds means the family wagon can keep up with faster traffic a little better
It also has a few new tech and safety bits which IMO keep it up there with the European offerings in terms of spec but for s lot less cash!!
In other news I still have the meg and Panda. Thinking of selling the meg early next year but what to replace it with?
