Hay all! just signed up! (spotted on A470 .. woodoo)

Post by SilverHornetclio » 25 Jan 2010 03:06 pm

Hay all, just signed up to this site. I have always been interested in the 340 as a drift mashine! so thought i may as well start gathering info on the car's!
I currently own;

Mk1 Clio phs 2 5dr Silver with a black valver bonnet and green mirrors, stripped, with harnesses and a sidey, thats my daily
MK1 Clio phs 1 3dr 1.8 16v Red, this is a project, bought her as a shitter! totally knackered, she'll be fine again by march
Mk1 Clio Phs 2 3 dr 1.8 16v Blue, This i bought on teh weekend as my doner to my red valver, she has accident damage but good for what i need!

So now you know, roots run deep in the french vibe, dont get me wrong those clio's are SEXY in everyway, but...... you just cant get the tail out like you can on a RWD car! and i wont be thinking of getting a volvo for a while till my clio's done but i need to learn! You have many meets? and where too?

BTW spotted a member of yours last week, this websitre stickers in the window its had;

Brown paint (dark) with I THINK a black bonnet
Black Wheels
Rev gauge on the dash
Two buckets with harnesses!
ANd a SORT of jap can on the back

We had a little dabble on the A470 leaving nantgarw..... ANY IDEA's who he was? was a pritty cool guy.

Hey dude, nice collection of clios there. There seems to be a trend of having a big meet in the summer usually so it'll be around then. At least then you can see a few of our valvers and see how it's done before you start.

Hello and welcome!

I knew there was a reason I made those stickers up!

Loved that silver 4dr clio BTW! pretty hardcore for a daily!
that part of the A470 is travelled daily so I have no doubt we will see each other more often.
