some RS based hatred from my colleagues....

[Badgerman85]

So my colleagues, especially mine line manager, are not particularly big fans of the clio, in fact they have a large amount of hatred for Clios, even though never actually driving one....so after months of being the butt of every gay and hairdressing based joke available i came back from my lunch break to discover i'd been emailed a photo....of my manager...making a somewhat rude gesture about a Clio 200 parked up in Festival Place Basingstoke.

 

[Munson]

No a 1.1 Mazda 2 i think, gets dem bitches dripping irrc

 

[Papalaz]

Haha what cars do they all drive?

 

[Badgerman85]

as above, a tiny engine mazda 2 and the other has a ford mondeo with ducktape holding the bumpers together, the 3rd chap doesnt drive, but is a BIG FAN of the Trophy!

 

[sidey]

He looks more like the kind of cnut that'd sit on my bumper in his A5.

Rise above it!

 

[Badgerman85]

Rise above it!

Its just a bit of fun and banter, amuses me greatly, just thought i'd share it with you chaps!

 

[Gally]

This could be good.

Is that Roy in the first picture?

 

[Munson]

 

[Hixle]

Lol! Are they actual brown loafers?

I'm pretty sure every Mondeo has this, lol!

 

[Gally]

Those bumper are h'actually famous for that.

Renault build quality > Ford... Right?

 

[Badgerman85]

I'm pretty sure every Mondeo has this, lol!

I've got a feeling you might be right!!

 

[Munson]

Has his steering wheel melted through to the metal yet?

 

[Gally]

RDOTSDOT?

 

[BigDaveRotary]

I definitely had a little chuckle at that!

Luke is correct too, I am sure every Mondeo I see also has ducktape holding various bodywork pieces on!

 

[Munson]

Crashed into by Clio driving charvers?

 

[welshname]

Why don't you take them for a drive in the T then?

 

[Badgerman85]

Why don't you take them for a drive in the T then?

I've taken one of them out and he loves the T, the other 2 refuse to get in!!

 

[Cookson]

Suit jacket with a polo top?

c**t

 

[Gally]

c**t

Sorry, you didn't just comment on someone's clothing did you.

I'm going to pretend I didn't read that.

 

[Cookson]

He needs a decent T-shirt

 

[davo172]

Looks like a back door billy himself !!

 

[Munson]

I like the way people are levelling personal insults at the guy just because he thinks Clios are s**t.

 

[Gally]

Isn't that a daily occurrence for you Roy?

 

[Sipha]

Nice numberplate :rasp:

 

[Munson]

Isn't that a daily occurrence for you Roy?

Hourly, and I don't even think Clios are s**t.

I know they are.

 

[Alexlfc]

Pahhh glad I'm not the only one to notice, pretty much every older shape mondeo has tape all over the bumpers

 

[Munson]

Is this for real though? Renault owners talking about build quality?

 

[Sipha]

Pahhh glad I'm not the only one to notice, pretty much every older shape mondeo has tape all over the bumpers

Rofl it's a nationwide issue then, theyre all the same round here too. I thought it was just the chavy people round these parts solution.

 

[Matt W]

Pahhh glad I'm not the only one to notice, pretty much every older shape mondeo has tape all over the bumpers

It's a bad design IIRC, where if you went over a certain speed then the bumpers would trap air and break

LOL

TBF your manager looks like a fat, grey and balding f**k wit with a similar dress sense to that of a old aged pensioner.

Don't let people put you down, give as good as you get.

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol I can't tell if he's making an O to say 'OK' or shaking his fist...


Reckon the latter maybe lol. What does your manager drive? Or has that been answered already...

Edit: Mazda ...

Nope, don't have a comeback


Jap Crap!11.

 

[plymcl172]

I think this bloke is a nob ! How dare he slate the Clio's!

I love that 200 ! So smart ! :approve:

 

[PP200t]

Your not alone, I get comments like 'girly car', 'boy racer tat' and general negative comments, but they drive sh:tboxes so I don't care!!

haha i think its hilarious, especially when people slate the Trophy yet drive a total shitebox themselves!

 

[Munson]

But Trophy is basically a 182 Cup, and everyone likes to slate that on here as the most pointless Clio ever?

Sure, the Trophy has a special suspension, but since most owners live their life a quarter mile at a time, it's more pointless than a 182 Cup. Right?

I'd prefer a FF 182 on coilovers. At least then you won't have FRP arch gaps.

 

[Cookson]

at least then you won't have FRP arch gaps.

and a spoiler that needs it's own reverse parking sensors

 

[is1]

Whooahh! Am I sensing some Trophy hate here?
To be fair, the Cup is seen as pointless because you could get the Cup goodies on a 182 and thus have a "complete" (i.e. FF) 182.
You weren't officially able to get all the Trophy upgrades on a 182 in the UK (correct me if I'm wrong) and they are all (seats, wheels and dampers, springs) VERY pricey.
Put together, they produce a car that Chris Harris describes in Autocar in 2005 as "otherworldly" and one of the finest enthusiasts' cars ever produced bearing comparison not with fast hatchbacks but bespoke sports cars such as Porsche.
Its development was put in the hands of the likes of Ragnotti so surely can't be dismissed as pointless on a Renaultsport forum.

 

[Munson]

Slower lap times than the 182 in a few cases. As we all know, lap times mean everything.
