BUY A CLIO V6 255 OR KEEP GTA TURBO and the fleet

Postby phildini » Tue Aug 22, 2006 9:11 pm

GUYS! I need your help, just been in a Clio 255 V6 and I am in love, really want one now, I always liked them since the day they came out and when they launched the 255 I really started to dribble :? , but just the thought of parting with my fleet of cars to raise the money especially my GTA turbo, it breaks my heart thinking about it :cry:

What should I do???

The wife very much likes the idea of me selling the lot and buying one car, but that was obvious.[/url]

borrow more money or get a third job and just buy the Clio to add to the collection.
Tell the wife she should be pleased that you are happy and not spending money and time on another woman. Don't buy her flowers, waste of money (they can only die) and she will get confused.

Sell the GTA turbo and keep the lovely GTA atmo with the waxolyed chassis and shiny re-built engine. Might even be the last one too!

I agree.......had a tussle with one ( a clio trophy) on the circuit last friday and as i expected..... similar speed on the straight but nailed him throught the corners....it hadn't got a chance...... to heavy and under powered.

keep the gta turbo it must have a better power to weight ratio than the clio :roll:

There is something special about the V6 Clio....they look superb...the whole concept of the thing does it for me! Youve got to keep the Integrale too.....legend!
Get rid of one of the Gordini turbos....front wheel drive...need I say more? :twisted:

but it's still too heavy and slow for what it is....... if he want's one that much, wait untill the price drops a little more so its a that level where max deprecition has finished taking its toll then when he gets board with it cause his gta is faster he won't worry so much about moving it on :lol:
