I love 'em. :D
Possibly my next car after Uni, Green with Black alloys! They just look so mean, a proper weapon and such a lads car! Always loved fast Fords, just something about them. What do you lot think the residuals will be like? I think they'll drop quite quickly?
Would be good to set...
Randomness at its very best! Aye, keep it for at least a few weeks. Then if you hear nothing from whoever sent it out, sell it on!
Really strange that it was posted to your name though, have you bought anything from ebay a lately? It could be like that offer that Kia have at the minute, buy...
Always liked these, they do 'em in that gorgeous blue colour aswell (Arden Blue I think?). Never had a go in one, but I think it's a great 'temporary replacement'!
:lolup: Christ, that one with the Trophy decals! I'd love to pull up by the side of him in mine to see his face! Is that one of those 'ZR Trophy' models though?
I don't mind ZR's if I'm honest. Always had a soft spot for them. I'd never own one but still, they aren't that bad. The 160 is the...
I hate having a mucky car, I mean properly hate it! Really OCD about it, I drive my car daily, and always without fail give it a wipe down before I put it in the garage for the night. I have the mentality that I am young, and have in my opinion a brilliant car, so it's my duty to keep it immaculate.
:lolup:
As soon as I read the title of this thread, I just knew it would turn into this! Ali doesn't seem to like anything other than the vee and a Z4M, so his opinion cannot be taken seriously, surely! ;)
Fact of the matter is, the R26R will embarrass a v6 in any situation, on any road or...
Re: Not a Clio sorry.
Always had a soft spot for VTR's! :o
A mate of mine has a blue ph2 VTR with a 16v VTS conversion amongst countless other engine mods. Had a drive in it a few times and absolutely hated the loose gearbox but other than that I thought it was a good car, handled well and was...
1*2's are a great balance between performance and economy. I average around 30-35mpg and it gets booted just about everytime i'm out in it. If I had a 197 and drove the same way I doubt i'd see 25mpg from the sounds of it! :eek:
Why are 197's that poor on fuel economy though? I mean I know...
147 GTA's are one of the coolest cars on the road, regardless of cost. Love everything about them, such a good looking car. One of my girlfriends mates used to have a red one before she swapped it for a Cooper S! She didn't appreciate it though. Only had one drive in it, but I've been smitten...
Brilliant photos! I recognise the photos outside of the Renault dealers too? They had a few nice RB 197's in on Saturday. Always good for a nice quick blast that stretch of road on the dual carriageway and the roundabouts!
Get a Trophy, you won't regret it.
Have a look on cliotrophy.co.uk and go on the owners register, quite a lot of the UK's 500 are accounted for. It's a great site for getting information.
Oh here we go again, another one of these threads! Just listen to Warren, he's owned the lot. Every single time it's 'Oh I wouldn't buy a Trophy just because of the colour, it's no quicker than any other 1*2, the dampers cost a million quid to fix if they break'.
All complete rubbish really...
Gorgeous! I've heard many people on here saying that they wouldn't buy a Trophy simply because of the colour. I think its one of the best colours ever, when it is polished nothing comes close IMO. It looks amazing in the sun, and even when the weather is cloudy and dull it looks brilliant...
Brilliant, just brilliant! :cool:
Am I right in thinking you used to own a Clio Trophy? It would be good to here your thoughts in owning both of them and how they compare once you have got used to the R26 R. :)
Guppy your car is up there without a doubt! I do love Dawn's white 197 too, its always immaculate.
Schweppy, Christopher, Middo, FlameR, Guppy, r8byb, Tim(e), Ali's vee, Dr Rollo all spring to mind but I am sure there's plenty more that i've missed. Some top cars on here!
7MAT's Clio Trophy...
Two of the awards are clear to me:
Best 182 that isn't a Trophy has to be Schweppy's Cup. Perfect in every way; best colour with stripes, lovely seats, white 2118's and now xenons. Winner!
Best 197 is easily Tim(e)'s car. One of the best looking cars ever! :approve:
