Hi All,
Have lurked and read on here for a while now as i had been considering a 197F1 / 200 (always fancied a RS Clio of some description to see how much fun they are).
The problem i have is that i already have 2 cars - a motorway hack (skoda VRS diesel) and a modded and cherished lupo gti (no snickers please). To get in a modern 197 F1 or 200 i would need to move the lupo on. Both I and the better half love this car and are loathed to do that. The diesel can't go as we do 20k motorway miles a year.
I would like to try a RS Clio and see if they are as much fun as everyone says, but i don't want to part with the lupo in particular and then regret it down the line. I can afford to splash out £4-£5k and run 3 cars.
The clio would not be a daily, wouldn't be tracked, and is for the occasional hoon when i feel like it. Something i could move on again if i regretted it without sacrificing the lupo.
So what would you advise? 172 Cup / 182 Cup / stretch to a Trophy? Very happy to go cheaper and refresh suspension if needed.
Thanks all.
