The TT is worth about £800. You'd be mad.

its my 2nd clio rs and i do like them just dont love them, i dont think there special enough, but for the money and performance there good, i just imagined a remapped 225 tt with 4wd would have been decent and i would have jumped in without thinking.
I think one thing that puts me off the clio from time to time is the lack of owner meets in scotland as for me that keeps the enthusiasm going if you know what i mean

Opinion;
Leave the Audi Titty and stick with the 182. You won't regret it

If you're not loving the Clio at the minute, maybe try and get down to your local track to reignite your love for it.

Sounds like you've already made your mind up? Especially If the Clio isn't special enough or no enthusiasm for it.

If you need constant support from people to encourage you with cars, then just put up a thread asking others what car you should be driving... Oh wait.

But the Audi TT... really... I guess it would mean you could go to VAG meets and be "scene"

My problem is i get fed up with cars to easily, i do like the clio, but there does seem to be a lack of local meets for these paticular cars, unless im just getting old now and thinking back to the strathclyde park scene and crail raceway meets back in early 2000s when it was a common thing

The older I get the more I want a lack of meets for these particular cars full stop

I can relate to the boredom part and have been known to put a thread or two up to see others opinions on wether the car I'm looking at is any good etc.

It's only when you find a car, either speak to the seller or read the advert it makes you go off looking at cars. I've got my eye on a replacement and will find out by 4pm Thursday wether I own it, that precise lol. If I don't and it goes for too much in my eyes money I'm going to sack the whole looking for a car scene off.

The trouble is I love my car, it drives ace, looks great, it's mine, etc etc etc.

But yeah stick with what you have or get a better replacement
