    Inferno 182 Cup so far...

    Gloss black looks so good with Inferno!

    19 in 6 months, what car to get?

    Eh? How exactly? I had mine even younger than that, and I'm still here and I certainly didn't crash it. Just because a young person has a relatively fast car does not mean they're going to crash it!

    2118's on a Trophy pic request

    Mine too, amazing looking car. Anyone who doesn't like Trophy's needs to look at that particular one and it'll change their minds in an instant! How could they not like them though, just look at it it's brilliant!

    Ferrari 458 Italia.

    Brilliant! The other video where he's driving it around Fiorano is good aswell. Amazing to see the difference that all of the electronic wizardry makes to his lap and then seeing how it reacts with everything turned off. He's a very good driver. Entertaining too, used to love his videos with...

    Clio Trophy, Wakefield.

    Driving on the Normanton bypass at 5pm ish this evening. First one I've seen since I sold mine, oh how it brought back memories of blasting up that road and those roundabouts! Anyone's?

    200 = the new bug eye scoob

    :lolup: Oh dear, please tell me that was a joke!? Nah actually after reading a million posts about your obsession with track times on the Trophy/v6 thread, I fear you're not kidding.....!

    My 200 finally... somehow.

    Just what I was about to say..... I do like it though, it just needs the alloys painting in anthracite and it'd look a whole lot better. GT spoiler makes a huge difference! Much better with that.

    200 = the new bug eye scoob

    I don't know. I love the 197 looks, but I'm not a fan of 197's without xenons! It's a tiny thing I know, but they change the looks of the front hugely. If the 200 had xenons, I think it'd look much better. Is it just me being silly!? 197 out of the two then (with xenons of course!), but the...

    Is the V6 255 that bad to drive..???

    Ali, your final comparison just doesn't make sense. A Trophy is Rachel Bilson; light, gorgeous, agile. A Vee is fat in comparison, so surely that one should be the other way around. ;) Only joking, but god please let this thread now be locked. Comparing two brilliant but very, very different...

    Is the V6 255 that bad to drive..???

    Oh and let's take Harry Metcalfe for example, seeing as though you're always quoting evo magazine. A man who has a Zonda, what else does he own? That's right, a Clio Trophy. Why do you think that is? Cos it's f**king brilliant. But oh no, a diesel Megane laps Bedford slightly quicker which makes...

    Is the V6 255 that bad to drive..???

    Oh dear, then I shall address this issue now. Who gives a f**k if it's slower than a chuffing diesel Megane round a track! I know for a fact I don't. It's not a track car FFS, it doesn't claim to be as it wasn't built to be an out and out track day special. It was built to be a b-road king, the...

    Is the V6 255 that bad to drive..???

    Stop it, I'm starting to think I should of just been more of a man and forked out an extra wad on the insurance now! :dapprove: When I'm 21 I will have one 100% cos you make it sound brilliant. Oh the ''intimidating'' comment wasn't aimed at reliability, more at the nerves that they give the...

    Do you feel the need to "prove" yourself in your Renaultsport?

    Sure, if you're in the 182 and not the 360..... :p P.S - Does '89' in your username refer to your date of birth, as in 1989? Or am I reading too much into that!? Same as mine you see, and if you say: ''Yes, I was born in 1989, the same as you'', I'd be incredibly envious!

    Is the V6 255 that bad to drive..???

    What!? Forgive me for missing the point, but how the f**k is that 'throwing a spanner in the works'!? It's not, it's you comparing firstly the road, then the track, and not linking them together to say your point! Sometimes I wonder if your posts are there just for comedy sometimes you know...

    Do you feel the need to "prove" yourself in your Renaultsport?

    Yeah I'll make a thread or something tomorrow, proper little weapon! :) My R26 is running 260bhp too, seems a lot faster than my old Clio Trophy did throughout the whole rev range. Doubt there'd be much in it to 60, but it feels much, much stronger to 100 and obviously the torque in gear. Is...

    Do you feel the need to "prove" yourself in your Renaultsport?

    Pffft, you'd have a surprise with my little beast then! Bought a standard VTR as my first car and have never had the heart to sell it. Two and a half years on and many thousands later it's got a 16v 106 GTi engine, throttle bodies, cams etc....! Circa 190bhp and just 800kg's, makes a mockery of...

    Is the V6 255 that bad to drive..???

    How the f**k did this turn into yet another Trophy haters thread!? I usually agree on most things Ali says, but I'd be willing to put every penny I had on a Trophy running rings around a Vee on a typical British b-road. Narrow, poor surfaces etc, 2nd/3rd gear, no way a Vee would keep with one...

    Clio182 trophy??????

    Oh dear. Another week, another Trophy 'what's the point of expensive dampers it's only a Clio/a Cup's just as good/the suspension costs a million pounds to replace' debate..... Standard vs standard, the Trophy is the pinnacle of all 2.0 Clio's. Fact, and proven time and time again. Yes, any of...

    sticker help

    :lolup: Oh dear, I've only just seen this lengthy response. Touchy! Oh, so your first response was very helpful and worthwhile was it? Erm, no! I said it in jest, never for a second did I think it'd upset you that much, so I give you my most sincerest apologies for causing you distress that...

    Vectra Remapped

    Pretty sure it's just a single turbo, no!? Still, bet it's rapid.

    Silver 197 losing to my vectra in manchester

    :lolup: Diesel barges are rapid in gear. I had a blast with a 335d in my R26 just last week from 30ish to 70 and it was properly quick! When I had my Clio Trophy I can remember a Fabia vRS doing well against it too, never under estimate turbo diesel torque once rolling! 197's and 1*2's have...

    3/4 Front plate

    Just a £60 fine mate. I've been pulled a few times in other cars I've had with 3/4's, but never been fined until yesterday. :dapprove: Was at some traffic lights and there was a marked police car opposite, waiting to go the same way as me. As soon as I saw their car there I knew they'd stop me...

    A loud, red 197, Huddersfield Uni

    Sounded brilliant! Red with black alloys, just walking across to the car park after Uni at about 4pm ish and saw/heard it. Anyone's? Gorgeous looking car, much better than the 200 to be honest!

    Clio sport Tourer

    Yes, but I'd be willing to put every penny I had on that not happening seeing as though nobody on the planet is daft enough to do that! It's f**king horrible. Why anyone would buy a car like this (or any small family estate actually) is beyond me. There's many more interesting but practical...

    NICE BARGES VS HOT HATCHES

    I presume those lap times are from Top Gear. The v6 did it in the wet so don't worry! ;) Love big comfy cruisers, my Grandad has had a W12 VW Phaeton from new and it's as comfy as a sofa to be honest, lazy but effortless pace. Good value now as a second hand buy aswell, I bet he's lost about...

    sticker help

    I'd say the same about those shocking stickers on your 197 Cup, too! They'd look ok at best on the sides near the back wheels, or better still on the front bumper like on the car you've already posted. :)

    3/4 Front plate

    Just been fined £60 for mine! :dapprove: Had a 3/4 on the Trophy for about 18 months without any attention really, put one on the R26 last week and have been done for it already! What's the score with driving about with the number plate in the windscreen by the way? Seen a few people on here who...

    Detailed the Vee - Picture Heavy!

    Jesus, the 764 photos of the wheels drove me f**king mad! However, what a car. Stunning, and in a great colour too. Amazing how good Black Gold looks when it's clean!

    Clio gone :(

    I traded in my Trophy for my Glacier White R26 a month or so ago aswell. You'll feel the difference straight away, mine feels massive compared! The power and torque difference is brilliant though, it feels much quicker than my Trophy ever did on the straights, and very nearly as good through the...

    High mileage trophy

    Was just about to say the same thing! Of course it'll become a classic though. It won't rise that much in price granted, but I see no point at all in stripping it for a bit of a profit. He's bought a very rare car that's got a reputation as being one of the best for an absolute bargain. A few...
