Well the car is gone, went for $2070. Someone in Auckland added it to their horde, he now has 7 Clio 172/182s, including one he has owned since new. Pretty pleased it's gone to a good home! Mods, feel free to close the thread.

And it's live!

Any of you barrys gonna throw a bid in?

If anyone does end up with it, I have some spares that I didn't send off with the car, too. Oil filters, original steering wheel and stereo, wiper blades etc etc

That was quick, who's gonna bid?

The insurance company wanted $2500 for it deregistered. I'll keep an eye out for the Turners and Trade Me listings and post links here in case anyone wants a racecar project

how much was it insured for? that crinkled boot floor prob means it's not worth the hassle to repair

$10k, it's being written off, just waiting for the offer for buyback and the payout amount. Eyeing up a first gen V70 or XC70 2.5T/T5 for ultimate dad-wag vibes.

$4000 in parts from France, $4000 in labour. Wonder how much they'll offer it back to me for, I'll find out early next week.

Took a ding in the back at a stop sign and got an $8000 repair quote, sounds like it's going to be written off. Can't really afford to get something else to drive plus buy the Clio back and repair it, so I'll let y'all know if it's going up for auction. @Mattwho? Need a parts car?

Getting hard to find in decent unmolested condition here in the UK.

Getting hard to find here at all! Future classic? I think so

Chucked up a January meet, details here

Time for me to stop being useless and organise a meet!

Just to get back into the swing of things, this month's meet will be at Burger Fuel across the road from the plaza.

Park up in The Plaza car park at 6.30, spin some yarns, and head over to Burger Fuel when we're feeling peckish.

Discuss meets here

Chur, see you there

New meet up, and possible deal with Burger Fuel in the works..

Hey boys and girls

Next Palmy Monthly Meet is this Wednesday at Burger Fuel

Park in the Plaza car park and wander over for a feed when we feel like it

Chur

A few of the Palmy crew have shown interest in this! I'm down, and I'm always keen for fish and chips on the beach.

This month's meat details are up

This month's Monthly Meat is Thursday the 29th of June (steak night) at the Ashhurst Inn.

Easy to find, on Short St, just past the petrol station.

Map available here

Get some meat in you

mine made such a great daily. you could almost lane split it like a motorbike with the tiny turbo it would just shoot through any gap you pointed it at.

i hope you dont miss it as much as i miss mine!

I miss it already! But if I get another one I will try find a much better base than mine. There was so much to fix due to previous owners and I just had so much bad luck with it

Had more issues with the new engine so decided to pack it in and sell it!

Watch this space

Sorry guys, I let life get the better of me. I'm organising a late-notice meet for tomorrow night, gonna make a post about it now.
