As much as i love my Si, my boyfriend has just purchased a Mark 1 Phase 2 Clio 1.8 16 Valver and i Fooooking love it!! ( and haven't even been for a drive)
Its off the road at the moment due to no tax, insurance and MOT...
We bought it from ebay for a stupidly cheap £250 because the bloke accidentally sold in the car parts section and made our way to Plymouth one evening to pick it up. Due to the lack of MOT some extrememly nice people from the valver forum met us in Plymouth from Bristol to tow the car back to Bournemouth...
Car needs the new doors fitted as the locks have been pushed in and other little things to get it ready...
Being towed back from Plymouth


But just generally the valvers are beautiful! 137 bhp standard and have so much you can do to them...
Thought id share my love for these things and see what you think of them...
Check out this thread it actually kicks arseeeeeeeee
