VR46-G@Z · Mar 11, 2017

Me too!!😂:up:

botfch · Mar 11, 2017

Yep but it doesn't get used enough really brakes are always seized when I get in it. Still can't bring myself to sell it.

Sorry

Plummer · Mar 11, 2017

First car was a 1.2 8v Clio Campus (2007 reg) which I repd. For about 4 years.
Then had a 1.6 Megane World Series (2011 reg). For about 4 years.
Then a Megane 250 cup (2010 reg). For about 6-7 months.
And now I'm back in a Clio, although a 200 cup (2011 reg). Which I've had since December.

DaveLiquid182 · Mar 11, 2017

My first Renault was an Iceberg 172 which I bought new in 2003. Then I bought a LY 182 new in 2005. Kept that for 5yrs.
Then needed something bigger but economical so bought a 3yr old Mondeo ST TDCI.
Some nice chap wrote that off for me. That was in 2014.
So I treated myself to an AMG C Class. Which I still have.

I think I spent more years owning a Clio before I joined Cliosport than I did afterwards...

RMDavis · Mar 11, 2017

I've moved on, but not by choice. I unfortunately wrote my Supercharged Trophy off last year (which was my third Clio Sport)

I took it as an opportunity to purchase a car I've always wanted to own.

However as I'm sure we can all agree Clio's at least in sport guise, are truly incredible little cars and I will definitely own another!

You did a great job of making that not look like a Clio @RMDavis :grimacing:

That picture truly sickens me! I miss the little red beast dearly.

I bet!!😞

Chris_Beer · Mar 11, 2017

I'm 30, but usually get mistaken for being younger or frowned upon when judges or the police pull into the work car park the same time as me. Speak to me in a stereotypical way, or sometimes not at all.

A lowered small hatchback with a stainless exhaust note and Recaros, sometimes theres a time and a place lol.

On the other hand... I f**king love this car and owned it 3 and a half years now

Ads29 · Mar 11, 2017

Had my 172 for 2 1/2 years only ever as a second car, now track only. The Mrs has had a dci65 and now a 1.2 Tce.

My daily is a Mercedes ML 55

Martin_172 · Mar 11, 2017

That's still really sad seeing that! Thought you said you'd never have another? Haha.

Got my 182 as my 2nd car but I've only owned it around 7 months now and I must have spent nearly the same amount I paid for it on the car already. :astonished:😂

Just not so soon after losing the Trophy...

I wouldn't mind either a 200 or a 200 turbo?

That`s par for the course, but then you could have bought a new Fiesta ST & lost £4k as you drove it off the forecourt.

Chris_Beer · Mar 11, 2017

The money I spent on mine has almost turned it into a second car... I don't actually want to use it much now because of the work and money spent

Sad really that the stop gap car I bought to run around in whilst fixing up the Cup, has turned into my daily commuter :neutral:

I think I need to see someone about it....

BoatNonce · Mar 11, 2017

Is it really 3 1/2 years now? Time flies!

I've flirted with the idea of having another, many a times :sweat::sweat::sweat:

Clio_fool · Mar 11, 2017

I was going to buy a 182 in 2005 but bought a 225 instead. Had an itch for a 182 ever since though and finally scratched it last year. Now we have 05 and 15 reg black Clio's sat on the drive!

Thrust-Rated · Mar 12, 2017

Had mine for 5 years now. It's been eventful! Cannot bring myself to sell it so I have an ecoboost fiesta as a daily run around and use the Clio for weekend runs and blasts.

If I did ever sell it I think I'd end up with another anyway, which is part of the reason why I can't be arsed to sell

OHEG80 · Mar 12, 2017

Phase 1 stock (only one in Dubai I'm fairly certain!!) + lightly modded 200

Speedy300 · Mar 12, 2017

Owned my Clio 182 for 2.5 years and retired it from daily duties about 6 months ago. Its now a 2nd car which I used for track days. I can't see me getting rid of it anytime soon! I wish I bought one of these about 10 years ago when I opted for a Octavia vRS instead.

Chris_Beer · Mar 12, 2017

The longer mines not a daily, the stronger the urge grows to start stripping it and moving away from OE for track

jamesycc · Mar 12, 2017

Started with an Iceberg 172. Owned 6 weeks before I wrote it off...

Then had my 172 Cup for just under 3 years.

Now onto something a bit more grown up, my new Meg 225.

Probably go back to a Clio when the kids have grown up...

That trophy looks amazing!

imprezaworks · Mar 12, 2017

17?!?

mantis946 · Mar 15, 2017

I've had 5 and I'm 27... Use my PH1 daily 20k miles a year. Sometimes I do pull into the office car park and think "I should get something proper"
Tends to get forgotten when drive it home at the end of the day.

MarkMchugh · Mar 15, 2017

I have a Clio 172 cup and the wife keeps saying " you're not a boy racer any more" because I'm 33

Chris_Beer · Mar 15, 2017

Heard all the boy racer comments, pretty much had it since 2004 !

Chris_Beer · Mar 15, 2017

"JESUS YOUR CARS LOUD !!!!!!!!"- Shouting at my window
"17 year olds wet dream hahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
"When are you putting flames and stripes on it"

Falls within the same category as "You can wash my car when you've finished hahaha" generic jokes

Cub. · Mar 16, 2017

Still have flameshed as a toy.

Munday · Mar 16, 2017

Bought my 182 new back in 2005. 12 years and 115k miles later it's still my daily, going to keep it running for as long as possible!

Rob669 · Mar 16, 2017

I've owned my Ph1 172 since 2004. I think about changing it quite often so I can have something which is turbocharged and I can get more power. I can't change it as the Clio is what it is: it's cheap to fix (if you do most of it yourself and comparing the parts prices to say a Megane), it gets close to or sometimes over 40 mpg, it isn't just another run of mill/keeping up with the Jones' Fiesta/BMW/Golf, and it is sort of quick, well not that quick, hence I also own an Impreza and wish I had an Evo...

Chris V6 255 · Mar 17, 2017

I bought my first ph1 172 in 2002.
Since then I've had
4 x ph1's (2 x iceberg, 1 x black & 1 sunflower)
1 x 1.5dci
2 x V6 255's (acid & illiad)

Currently have Mk5 GTI, 520d E61 & the V6 for the weekends.

Still on my 1st one.

Bought it when I was 29 - now I'm 42. Still used as my daily with north of 140k on the clock.

Makes me laugh when non-Renault owners follow the stereotype and call them all 'French crap'. :tongueout:
