Clio V6
Didn't think I drove it enough to spotted often, only done 1,000 miles in 6 months but then I guess quite a few short journeys here and there add up 
I go to the odd V6 meet (they are epic), usually make FCS and am planning to do a few Cliosport SouthWest meets next year. Always up for tyre kick or detail

Is it the early supercharged one or a turbo one?
At the moment we have:
black clio 172 the mrs uses as a daily
bog standard blue corsa c I use as a daily
red corsa b with xe on throttle bodies
3 door sierra (the old whale tail ones)
mid engined nova
v6 4wd calibra
blue mk1 clio with F7r williams engine and custom inlet
Got a few other vehicles as well, including our beloved yellow mk1 that is off the road for a vtec conversion, but nothing else that you'd have seen driving about and even a couple of those above Ive not driven for a while.

My mrs is pretty into detailing but must admit ive little interest in it myself.
I'll probably go to FCS this year as im owed some free tickets for some work Ive done for them, is there normally a convoy up from down this way, always good fun going in a group
Not all in one place sadly, got a few at my parents, one normally at my place, a couple at a mates farm, a couple just parked on the road near my parents place and ive also got some other cars not on that list (couple of oldskool minis, 1 a series and 1 with a vauxhall engine) that are in paid storage currently.
Would love a big enough garage to put them all in but sadly not an option financially for me currently.
Cool picture!I've not convoyed there before but you usually end up blasting it up the M5 with other randoms. Been in some epic V6 meet convoys though:

Ed didn't think you were from Taunton, I'm back now and again when the military like to give me some time off. Picked up a 200 last week to add to the 197 and exclusive 'exclusive 172' it's been TDF'd. Lol But looks like the 172 will have to go next year as the mrs advised me if that's the best way to say it.
there will be a few meets after jan make sure to get along to them
cheers

200 is storm grey black wheels 197 is nimbus black wheels. Normally depends which I bring home from Germany.
Wouldnt mind getting the 172 to a meet before it goes in the summer. Looking at the market I'm not going to get much back from it but it's been fun.

To me thats just the same thing (good handling fun french hatchback) only slower.

As much fun as driving a 172 at 70% throttle maybe, lol

Won't be selling to replace it more to move on as have the 197 as a toy now and the 200 as a day to day.
I do know I won't be spending money on cars again. The last bill I had was for over 2k and the car does not have bodies.

I could keep the car or see if someone on here wants to continue the project and use it in a track like it should be

Ed I will take that deal mate just need to wait till I get it back in the country probably gets used as little as your V6
How did you manage to end up with a bill of 2k?
Thats quite a lot to be spending on a 172, you should have just weighed it in probably unless its something really special, lol

Yeah it's silly quick.
Share the other two with the mrs as well so need that bit of comfort in the 197 so it can still be used.
Will see in the summer if I'm going to sell.
