Great shots. Talent.

To be fair it's not exactly hard to drive a manual car quickly in a straight line. Foot down, couple of hundred rpm before the limiter change up and repeat. I like the control of a manual box for general driving but for a sprint an auto is great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deErWD0g_bI Ensure I'm kept away from anything mechanically propelled next time!

The odd minor mental breakdown too.

I love going to the supermarket on the first day and buying as much liquid as physically possible, very little in the way of food then spend the rest of the trip being pissed, hungry and dysfunctional.

Interior looks a bit like the ph1 172 with the white dials. I want another ph1!

Amazing, I want one of these next. Such a special car.

Maybe Boffey? Ginger bloke driving it?

Both of my 1*2's used a little oil. Probably put about a litre in my 182 every 6000 miles. I'd put some oil in and not worry too much. Worse case scenario engines are cheap these days for the 182's.

Get a cup packed 182. Best of both worlds.

Doesn't have a negative affect on power. On a standard car it does little more than just make it sound better. Maybe 1-2 bhp but I didn't actually feel a difference.

Ratio's will be far too long iirc. A few of the boys running big power turbo conversions have used them but they have 400lbft to pull through the long ratios.

What are the odds on me? On a goped...

Can't miss Jamie's Trophy with that plate.

I used to get about 2 mpg better in my 1.2 16v than I did in the ph1 172 that replaced it. Small n/a petrol engines are terrible. They're gutless, sound like a bag on nails and not even very good on fuel. I'd have a DCI all day long. My Ibiza has the 1.6 CR TDI 105 bhp engine in it and it...

Make sure it's completely standard. They're great standard. When you add decat exhausts and lowering springs it makes them fun for half the time but a ball ache for the other half.

It's the performance to mpg that upsets people I think. I used to hammer my 182 around and get about 32 mpg. For a sub 30 mpg car I'd want either boost or more than 4 cylinders. My MX5 was terrible on fuel and it was slow, as somebody mentioned above. That was a car designed in the late 80's...

So if 182's had a Ford Badge on they would all be worth £10k + You're mental.

Again, plenty of cars handle well that aren't a Clio. Clios are good cars, I've had three. There are loads of other good options out there though. This forum is full of people who think Clio's are the best car in the world, or they're completely s**t.

If it was a Ford it would be worth 10k plus... Come on mate, really? Where is a Renaultsport Clio classed as s**t anyway? It is one of the most respected brands of hot hatches.

Would probably end up with you being punched in the face as the result of your passive aggressive advances such as your latest road rage incident...

Quality.

Lovely cars the ST. Best spec too. I'd love to know how many ST's were made. It's amazing how popular they are considering the running costs. One of the most popular hot hatches ever.

I'll give you £ 200.00 for it and have it collected at the weekend. ​If you decide to keep it, listen to Mick otherwise you're going to make it worse mate.

Look at loads of people driving EP3 CTR's. Loads are blokes 50+. To be honest I see loads of Renaultports being driving by middle aged women.

You make an excellent point Nick.

I loved my decatted exhaust on my 182. Nobody should have a cat in their Clio.

Not bad a new car every six months. I feel I'd get a little fed up of just changing to very similar cars every six month. The Leon is really nice. I'm running a Ibiza FR TDI at the minute.

Both of those videos are private mate. ​Lovely R26.

Petrol stations are the natural habit of a 197/200.
