197: Bye bye.......

[GlassJaw]

:bye2: ...... and it's going. As some of you know I'm moving to Barcelona for at least the next 9 months plus, and I took the decision that I couldn't justify having the 197 sitting around here for that length of time, it just seemed a waste of something that deserves being used regularly by someone who can appreciate that while it is a cracking hardcore hatch it is actually very useable as an every day motor.

But - all is not lost - as for the two weekends a month I'll be back I'll be piloting a stunning future classic and a true giant killer of proportions that even a 197 or 200 would have to be on it's game to compete with.......



[insert]drumroll here[insert]


A belter of a Clio trophy supplied with superb service by Steve Murr @ RSport cars.

It's a cracking looking example sitting on just over 30k, interior mint, belts done, recaros looking stunning. Subject to clearance with the othe half can't wait until Sunday to be honest.

My hot hatch hero that I think will be well served sitting by the dehumidifier then taken for a spanking on the Beacons when I make it back. Value wise I don't think I could have made a better choice and not having to leave it in some two bit car park ever ever ever should ensure it stays mint and secures me a future classic.

One of the best bits is that I'll be sticking round here - that's if you'll still have me? :bounce:

PICS WILL INDEED FOLLOW!!!

Cheers for the comments - I had second thoughts but, the more I thought, the more it made sense really.

In the end it came down to an S1 or the T and by my reckoning the T is far more exclusive and wins in the fun stakes too.

Never knew I'd be this excited about 'downgrading'......

Trophy or 172 cup is what I would want again. Enjoy.
