Picking up a Clio 200 next week, so today went for a last spirited drive in my Puma. I've had it 3 years and it's been a great car to own during that time. Relatively cheap to buy, maintain and run. Plus it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

I went down to the Pennines today for some B-road fun. The roads were deserted. Second gear, 6k rpm and that lovely Miltek exhaust note...bliss cloud9

I'm quite sad to see her go, but I'm hoping the Clio will make up for it!

From the thread title I assumed your car had been written off after a big cat mauling.

Yeah, I can see that topic is a bit misleading.

I've been slated on other forums, saying my Clio is going to fall to bits. They're probably right, but I'll have fun on the way!

I recently just got a Puma, what mods did you do to yours ?

Miltek 'cat back' exhaust
Upgraded front discs to 258mm (from 238mm) with Mintex pads
K&N panel filter
Powerflex bushes on rear beam - very firm (possibly too firm)
And the all important cam-belt change (not a mod, but a necessity)
