Hi, posted a couple or 3 weeks ago looking for advice on whether or not to buy an ex-company Clio 172 from the company my wife works for..... after considering the advice I got here (thanks guys) the deal has been done at what can only be described as a 'favourable' price!

She's black, high miles (67000 on a 53 plate) but in very tidy condition. However, cambelt(s?) not been done so that is first job before any 'proper' driving! Also, got a dent on the bonnet from a bird-strike (Clio 1 Pheasant 0) but it looks like it might pop out (fingers crossed).

So, having had to 'store' my PH sticker in my Passat estate whilst awaiting my new 'fun' car it should be back in business early next week. Anyone around Lincoln see me (Black, reg FN53***) with PH sticker gimme a wave!

Cheers all and thanks again for the advice.

PS Car has been on 95 RON all its 67000 miles - is it worth me switching it to 97/98? One theory says it will adjust to the 'better' fuel after a few gallons and be a better car for it, another theory says after 67000 miles on 95 changing now ain't gonna make any difference...
