New Car...... Again

Well as many of you may know - I absolutely hated my MG ZR.

Today I traded it in for a new Clio - it's the old model but brand new and is the 1.2 16V Campus Sport model.

Got imo an excellent deal and with 4 new tyres due on the ZR at over Â£100 each, problem after problem, group 7 insurance on a 1.4 and no manufacturer backup since MGR went down the tubes it was time to get rid of the shed.

Clio due end of next month so I will post a few pics up when it arrives.

Spec on Clio is pretty good and I can expect far lower running costs not to mention it being a new car again with full warranty.

Told my mum about it tonight and she asked what car I was selling to get it - the MG or the 350ZR - I laughed

The Clio won't be a great car in everyones eyes but a small car to get me to and from work will suit me fine.

Couldn't get any worse than the MG - it made the 206CC look reliable and quality:lol:

Not sure how much I am gonna like the Clio but it can't be any worse than the MG.

Plenty of people like them but the Mini is a car I have never been keen on.

Just got a letter the other day from Renault to say my Clio is now due at dealer on 13th June 2006. Not happy as it means I need to drive the shed for more than another 2 weeks
