Jani Posted 28, September 2017 Report Posted 28, September 2017 My 1st French hot hatch was a blue 1986 R5 Gt Turbo in 1998 when I was 22. I loved that car but for some reason kept blowing the turbo so I had to let her go. Few years later I had a 1987 face lifted version in red with no major problems but when the family came i had to sell it unfortunately. Now 12 years later I'm a happy owner of a flame red 2003 Clio sport 172. When I sat in the car I felt like going back in time all the good/silly memories came back from my young age I knew it I want it again. It doesn't feel as fast as I was expecting but still love it. (the turbos were back in Europe) 9 Quote
