hi ya guys.... well after 6 fantastic years of ownership im afraid the day is nearing and im going to put her up for sale... the car is looking very sorry for herself just sat parked up in my carport and covered in dust for the past 3 months, as ive been using the cabby in these summer months. im not sure if many of you have noticed but i havent really been on here as much as i used to be... and the past 10 months have been the hardest of my life, what with losing my dad very suddenly and my brothers marriage break up just after that,which has meant hes moved back home, and i think the time is right for a change..... but the love with the car just isnt there anymore?? :cry: :cry: im going to mull it over this week and see how i feel, but i think i should get her out for a run out and clear the cobwebs away.....

Really sorry to hear this Paul. Can't really appreciate the tough times you've been through.

Hope the car goes to a good home. Perhaps someone off here would be good.

DON'T DO IT! I sold mine back in 2004 and deeply regret it. I'm sure the car will still love you :wink:

gave her a clean and a bit of a blast today... felt good! feels like luxury after driving the classic ford....

northy... im looking for a classic ford at the right price, but no the money from the sale of the clio will be going to something newer??(thats if i sell her??)...

im still in 2 minds as what to do? but for what the car is worth now, i may just store it in the workshop??

ive also got a car coming early next week, details will be posted when she gets here, and im sure some of you will like :D

as u say mate....the price youd get for it, youd be better off keeping it i think. ;)


actually went to look at another classic myself today, but the guy wanted too much money for it......1 day tho....i will own another ;)

mate, my williams spends most of its time on the drive, but every fortnight i take it out and give it a little bit, If you can hold on to it, you should. You wont find another car that is a little beast, turns heads like the williams. Any where i go people love it and mine needs a respray and a rear arch but still I love it. My missus is always on my case to get rid, I think she will go before the willy! :D
