Big Bens non Clio

[Big Ben]

I Can't believe you've sold this.

New owner has got a bargain, I think you should've added another £1k to the price but at least you got a quick sale.

Hope you find a decent replacement.

The car is staying Mark. Been let down by two “I’m having it. I’m bringing the deposit” people and the amount of messages and shit I’m having to deal with through my regrettable FB sale post has really stressed me out and put me right off selling.

What car tempted you to sell the Clio?

Didn't realise you were selling Ben as I'm not on Twatbook, glad you're keeping it though, such a nice example.

In a way, I'm glad! It's a lovely car. Would have been a shame for it to have been sold in parts too. Even if I was eyeing up your coilovers! [emoji23]

Lucky you ... I was eyeing up the gearbox . 200 diffuser and brakes .... I don't have that sort of money to be spending on car parts [emoji1787][emoji849]

I hadn’t found a replacement yet. Natural choice would’ve been a megane but looking around I’d yet to find anything for the budget I had in mind that had wowed me. Or a RWD car for a different experience.

I’d chatted to the Mrs for couple of days and said i wouldn’t mind a change. She gave green light so I advertised it either whole or with a parts list to break. In hindsight I didn’t fully appreciate the can of worms I was opening. I like to reply to everyone whether item is sold or not. Was just too much. My fault. Should of known better

I saw the post and the constant "I'll have xxx when you break" replies was massively disheartening. Glad you decided to keep it though, I'd be upset if I never got to a track to watch this fly past me on every other lap

Bru good to see you’re keeping the beast. You wouldn’t find something as good and you know it’s been looked after.

Finally got round to replacing my cracked and manky rear view mirror after being inspired by @Addison and his attempt. Was not straightforward as the new retaining clips were stiff and required a bit of persuading! No broken windscreen so all’s well that ends well. Obligatory pic

 

[Big Ben]

Looks like I’ll be attending Cadwell Park on bank holiday Monday as young @Beany has (foolishly) added me as a named driver!

My car will be in attendance just in case we break the first Clio

 

[RSRowe]

Spot on

 

[Big Ben]

Well that escalated. I’ve just now bagged a spot for my own car at Cadwell on Monday thus saving beany from financial ruin!

 

[RSRowe]

Even better. Looking forward to seeing you shoot off into the distance, whilst us NA boys are squabbling over who can get the best exit out onto the straight

Looking forward to joining the Clio “snake”!
There’s not much difference between mine and Beany’s cars at a tight circuit like Cadwell. Comes down to the driver in the end

 

[RSRowe]

I’ll make sure to bring my brave pills then haha

 

[Big Ben]

I’ll make sure to bring my brave pills then haha

I think I’ll just let you through haha

 

[Beany]

I can see it all over FB now...

Mass crash at Cadwell dubbed “Clio snake gate”

 

[RSRowe]

It’ll be fineeeee.... hopefully will make for some good pics if we all get out at once.
