Irish Newbie!

[Aaron6]

Hi there, 

My name is Aaron and originally from Ireland. I've been in Melbourne for around 7 years and was big into the car scene back home before I moved over. 

I had a couple of previous cars including a VW Mk4 Wagon and a VW MK5 GTI both heavily modified. 

I've been putting off buying a car here due to other commitments but I feel the time is right to purchase something fun and start enjoying cars again. 

A good friend of mine who sadly passed when we were younger had a 197 and I've always admired these cars since. 

So today I inspected a car and will be collecting it next week. 

Monaco Blue 197 with 143,000Km. Super extensive service history throughout the car's life. Nothing was spared from what I saw. 

I'll create a new build thread for it as it has some tasteful modifications and I have some new mods to make it my own. 

A little picture to kick things off.

Welcome Aaron, Pleasure to have you join our community. We are passionate and die hard when it comes to the N/A Renaults here especially ! The hot hatch scene in Ireland has always been seen as equally die hard.

Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it..

TOP OF THE MORNING Lad!

Welcome along.

Look forward seeing the car, you'll enjoy it after nit driving for a few years! At least the roads are wide in Australia, I spectated a bit of rally and enjoyed the roads of your home land and kt is something else.
