Martijn from the Netherlands

Hi all,

After reading this forum for over more than 8 years I wanted to register and introduce myself.
I'm Martijn from The Netherlands, 23 years old and an enthousiastic Renault Sport fan. I already owned a Clio RS 172, a Twingo RS 133 and now I'm driving a Clio 197 with some modifications (Clio Cup exhaust, H&R coilovers, 20mm spacers all around, Recaro seats, Sabelt harnesses etc.). :race:
The main reason why I register right now is that I'm in the search for my dreamcar; an Iceberg Silver Clio V6 ph1.

How it al started....
I think I was around 13 years old, not interested in cars, when I first saw a silver Clio V6 ph1 in a dealer showroom which was on the route to my grandma's house. My face was like: [smilie=icon_eek.gif] This was something I never saw before. Such a beautiful car.... Since then I was thinking and dreaming about the Clio V6 everyday. I collected thousands of Clio V6 pictures on my computer, I checked for new movies about the Clio V6 everyday, I collected all dutch and english magazines with roadtests and I checked the sales sites more than 10 times a day to see which cars were for sale.

It was 2013 when I first drove a Clio V6. It was for sale for around 12.000 euros (now in 2015 still for sale for 20.000euros), the condition of the car was not so good so I let it go. Another problem was that I drove around 60.000 kilometers a year. Now 2 years later I live close to my work so there is no excuse anymore not to buy a Clio V6.

So the great search has begun!

Greetings Martijn
 
Hi there Martijn :welcome:
Wish you happy hunting [smilie=yay.gif]

All the best with your search. I too saw a v6 when I was in my early teens and new Id get one one day. :welcome:
 
Welcome Martijn,

Best of luck with the search! There are some lovely silver phase 1s in the Netherlands so I hope you find the right one for you.
 
Welcome!

It's been a similar story for myself!

I'm 25 years old and I saw a Liquid Yellow Vee when I was 15. I got excited and the time, had butterflies in my stomach, but thought I would never be able to afford one or even the insurance!

I've just sold a Clio RS200 that I've owned for the last 3 years, I've got the Renault Sport bug and also own a 182 race car, a Renault 5GT Turbo and a BMW compact as a daily.

Finally I've managed to buy my dream car and now own a lovely Liquid yellow V6!

Wait for the right car to come along, but don't wait too long because as you know the prices are rocketing!

Good luck!
 
I have been visiting all Clio V6's in the Netherlands but all were just not what I was looking for.
Since december I was e-mailing with a guy who has a V6 for over 7 years now with 37.500km on the clock. The only problem was that he didn't want to sell it. I visited him 2 weeks ago but he still wouldn't sell it. So I promised him to be very careful on the car. He said he would think about it. So last week I got the e-mail that he would sell it to me. So I picked up the car last saturday.
It is as I wanted an Iceberg Silver in its original condition with full documentation/service history.

So my dream came true [smilie=yay.gif]

The first trip was to the gas station. Where everyone looked at me and the man of the counter said: So there is a lot of petrol going inside your tank. But I'm afraid we're going to see you again soon.
He's is totally right! :race:

My sister asked my mum by phone: What car did he buy? My mum said: It's a car you can't stop looking at and you just walk circels around it.

Here 2 pictures I took:

Superb, well done Martijn! :approve:

Good to hear that you managed to get the car you were looking for........

Enjoy!
 
I've seen it James. I already contacted Adrian about the car, he helped me with some information. (there is only a little mistake made with the mileage on that site)
 
A handy tip for new owners. Brush your teeth well, you'll be smiling a lot more in future [smilie=yay.gif]
