That one worked yes!
It's 1 hour 45 mins according to google maps, it takes me 20 mins to get to the motorway which slows down progress somewhat, I'll make it to one of these anyway :)
The tag for this didn't work for me.
I'll try and get to a couple of these but it may be a bit of a treck for a regular thing for me (just shy of 2 hours each way), I'll give it a go though :)
He's selling it because he's got a focus ST now, needed something bigger, I'll fire him the link to this thread so he can come in so you can ask him any questions :)
This is Adrians car, he is indeed on here as @Ade182, he has a progress thread on here too if you go through his profile.
Absolutley awesome car, very well looked after and he's a spot on guy.
A couple from me that I am happy for you to use if the owners of the cars don't mind :)

The roots and shoots meets were the best bar non, although in every video on the industrial park that I appear in I'm in the background queuing for the snack wagon haha!
Good to see you back buddy.
As above I wouldn't be worried about milage if the car has proof of being looked after, just check for the belts being done at somewhere reputable as the timing can make or break how the car feels to drive.
Mine is on 110k now and is still one of the most reliable cars I have owned, also after...
I can't link to it at work but evo magazine uploaded a buyers guide this week which may be worth a little read for you too :smile:
Edit: it seems I can so http://www.evo.co.uk/renault/clio/6245/renaultsport-clio-182-buying-guide-last-of-the-old-school-hot-hatches-for-under
Excellent work, as you said there's certainly a sub 8 mins between you and the car.
On a side note I think car throttle are your number one fanboys these days :)
This is Adrians car, @Ade182.
Beautiful car and I can vouch for how well everything has been done on it, well worth a look if anyone is looking for a turbo clio.
Gives me something to go on then thanks! I'm a really awkward size, I'm 6ft 5, slim (32 waist) but with really wide shoulders so finding a seat is a nightmare.
I'm aiming for a set of these myself at some point, I've read that they are quite a narrow seat so I think i'll have to find somewhere to try them first.
Thought I would post up in here for once, I've just done a 1781 mile roadtrip 3 up with luggage and tools, 3 laps on the ring and 1 session on the GP track and the trip computer recorded an average of 38.1mpg over the whole trip...astonishing.
I am going to take note of the gallons used and...
We share the same logic it seems! I was pretty much just sat on the right hand side with my indicator on haha, it didn't help that they released the bikes about a minute after I went out too.
Video is here if you fancy seeing a slow moving clio, the panda is my friends, I was following him...
I drove my first 4 laps of the ring last week, 2 of which were in what I would describe as a monsoon.
My fastest lap was something daft like 13.5 mins bridge to gantry, very slow but I was out there in the frame of mind to enjoy myself and drive the car home.
It isn't somewhere I would like to...
