mrhatmostly Posted 3, April 2012 Report Share Posted 3, April 2012 Hi all, I am new to the forum and have started my search to find the perfect 172/182 Clio. I managed to follow a neighbour home and get the keys to his 172 recently and was very impressed that they held true to most of the reviews I had read. So onto finding one!!

Teki04 Posted 3, April 2012 Report Share Posted 3, April 2012 Sooooo jealous! Of your location;) Welcome. Spent a good week last may in Tassie with Walkie86, Chris172 and Budd from the forum... And oddly just looking at all our pics tonight. Good luck with your search... ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrhatmostly Posted 7, April 2012 Author Report Share Posted 7, April 2012 So if I want to ask people if they know a local car - where is the best place to post such a request? e.g. this one here - http://www.carsales.com.au/private/deta ... rt=default Alex - are u after pics of the crappy suby, the lazy festiva, or the other thing... ?

nemz Posted 7, April 2012 Report Share Posted 7, April 2012 Try this thread first, perhaps: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=21336 Failing that, maybe create one in the Off Topic section. The Admins can always move it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
