A car a month for 2020. Idiocy but you love it.

A Clio Automatic is the first brand new car I ever drove. After only ever having driven ten+ year old cars from the 80s it felt impossibly smooth and quiet to drive.
Sounds like you need to relive that moment. I have just the thing.... ;-)Toaster Pilot said:

I reckon there's profit in the Clio - cheap car for someone who has just passed their test!
I think the only way there’s profit in it is for it to be cleaned up impeccably and sold to the nostalgic kind that tend to buy cars from white rooms - anyone looking for a cheap first car will buy a 2007 Clio for £600I was on a train a few months over hearing some teenagers talking and they all seemed to somehow be working part time in a super market yet driving Audis. One girl was driving a 2009 Fiat 500 and they were asking her why she drives a car so old.
Bit different to me spending my weekends scraping the rust off my Mk3 Escort and painting over it with Hammerite

I don't think kids today would be seen dead driving a 2007 Clio, let along this one. My children are 11 and 12 and laugh at my 2007 Megane and especially the fact I bought it on eBay. Apparently it is OK for Daddy and it's not too embarrassing (yet) to be seen in but no way would they drive one.

It's the joy of commoditising the car with low monthly payments coupled with the scrappage schemesI was on a train a few months over hearing some teenagers talking and they all seemed to somehow be working part time in a super market yet driving Audis.

First car I got my hands on was a Mk3 1.6 Ghia bought from a scrap yard for £150 as an MOT failure with a view to doing it up. Then a mates Granddad had to stop driving so I bought his B reg Manky green Mk1 1.2 Astra - 1 owner from new with all the paperwork - for £400
Sold the Scrapper Escort to my best mate's parents for my money back and his Mum ran it for 5 years - it was a step up from the R Reg yellow Viva
I keep looking at 306s as I loved my 1.4 Meridian but don't think my back could take it any more with them being so low down
