RS to ST

Another one that's made the move to an :st:

Here's how I got there...

Clio 197

Picked up my 197 in 2010 for my 21st. A fantastic car, that I ended up spending a fair bit on. Recaros, Cup Racer Speedlines, ITG, full brake set up and various gearboxes...

Looked like this:

And when I sold it:

Megane 225

The day I sold it, I picked up my new car - a Megane 225. Awesome car, with much better spec than my 197, including cup and lux packs. However, I had more than a fair amount of issues with this one, including a clutch/flywheel and a brand new engine from Renault (despite the old one only being on ~26k miles!).

Looked like this:

Unfortunately ended up looking like this, less than 2 months after the new engine was fitted. Gutted isn't the word!

Fiesta
:st:

So... the new motor! Got to say - after coming from a turbo, this little :st: still feels nippy! Runs perfectly, 1 owner, low mileage, heated leather seats/windscreen and a steal for what I got it for.

A quick shoot:

My plans are simple - nothing. I'm just going to enjoy her as she is! I spent far too much on my last car to see it all disappear, plus unmolested ST's have got to be rare!

Thanks for reading.
 
Shiny exhaust, how did you get it that shiny? Did you take my advice? :wink::wink::wink:

Yay Stripes! Heated leather seats = full of win!
 
Oh, and regarding yet another move from Renault to ST...well, one smiley specially for that:
