My first. Mk2 Ph1 Clio Sport 1.4
Discussion
So I passed my test November 21st 2012 first attempt much to my surprise and aided by some local flooding. I decided now that I had spent hundreds on learning to drive I should probably buy a car and here it is a mark 2 phase 1 Renault Clio 1.4 sport. Insurance sorted and my pocket a lot lighter you wouldnt believe how much those 5 little letters add to the insurance. I was on the road.
And two years on give or take a few months and I still love it despite the following.
removing locking wheel nuts replacing them with standard nuts ( who steals alloys anymore specially badly kerbed ones)
6 new tyres
one centre section
one wheel bearing
drive shaft
a few bulbs
and the obvious service items some of which were a pain to get especially the air filters
and one incident Involving a hedge.
Dont know what I am going to do to it probably just tidy it up to be honest I have decided that I am going to keep it even if its off the road. Even considered stripping it completely tacking some of the metal worm beggining to appear and adding a/c. Looking to buy a mk2 ph1 172 next.
