Sad to report that it perished about 45 minutes later, I managed to drive 20 miles, then I pulled up for petrol and it was still there, but another 10 miles out of Wiltshire into that temperate rainforest known as "Bath" and it had vapourised. I'm working on a refund at the moment but it...

Classy stuff, £89.99 from K-Tec, apparently they don't offer a guarantee on it as it "may not survive a mild-Winter" Here is the model car...

This is the best I can do... Massive file available here... http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/22116278-O.jpg

Rare to us maybe, but as odd as it sounds, 75% of people out there will just see it as a normal orange/red Clio. Thats why its a good idea to get it on the car forums, when you know what one is you spot one a mile off. I hope its sorted real quick, if its relatively new it will be an absolute...

Trophy followed me to work yesterday, looks stunning. All the way through Westbury then into Trowbridge, think the plate was XX05 WRC.

Can't help with the 182 but here is a list of differences between the facelift 172 and the 172 Cup according to Renault... 172 Cup - amendments Profile 3mm lower Front bumper with additional lower section Enlarged rear spoiler above hatch Greater downforce Revised suspension Higher...

The amusing thing about this post is that your comments sum up perfectly what the motoring press says, not the owners on here. Amongst other things I've read that it will keep "the majority of supercars honest", will "make a Porsche driver sweat", "gain an F430 on the tight bends", and these...

Damn that is a good price, when the new Evo really gets circulating I think the remaining few unregistered ones will be going pretty damn quick. Don't let the guy on 4Car now, I think he is missing his press car a bit...

I did Pembrokeshire and back once (I'm only in Wiltshire though so I ended doing about 400 miles), went right to the far end to a little town called Angle, middle of bloody nowhere! Great fun, I often go out just for a great drive and then turn around and come back, never managed 12hrs...

At 7am on a Sunday morning? Where do you guys work?!

Just had a good read of it all (out now in Tesco!) Still amazing to think they literally stepped out of Ferraris, TVRs, Lambos and Astons etc, straight into a Clio and then most of them found it more fun than nearly all the cars they drove. Many people do seem to miss the point, "how can...

It was, which is odd as didn't Renault end up selling about 6 in the end... ...slight exaggeration, but I seem to remember it wasn't many.

You did me on the airfield day mate, I'm sure you won't have any trouble keeping up!

Its happened time and time again with Amazon, completely bizarre allocation of pre-orders. Yet people continue to order through them, then boycott them and tell everyone else to, then as soon as another big thing comes along they order again and get shafted again!

No problem, glad you enjoyed it! Car was running really well on Sunday, usually rattling like crazy at low speeds never mind when the 5000rpm madness kicks in!

Will do then, going to colour code it at some point so I will wait until I get my next mod (Hillpower IK probably) and fit it all at once.

Not 100% sure on this so any advice would be great. Basically, whats the general rule for declaring things on insurance. For example, I've just bought a strut-brace, do I need to declare this and pay up for a "mod"? If so, where do you draw the line? Are direct-replacement parts (i.e...

Good stuff, I'll put my name down now, I don't drink so I'm always fresh as a daisy on a Sunday morning!

Exactly. Some people are blinded by performance figures. Considering the condition of roads here in the UK and volume of traffic on them, the chances are even if out on a country blast, the Clio should offer almost as much power as you are really going to need. I read an article once about a...

Think it was 2236 made, but a while back there was some Parc Vehicle data thing and it said something like 2000 still on the road (i.e. taxed)

"mint condition" ... "£300 to repair" Don't you just love Ebay!

Cheers again, bloody speed cameras! Nearly dropped a log the first time I saw the flash, wasn't until a few seconds later I realised it was ok, I was actually stationary!

I'm not interested in going faster or improving lap times or anything to be honest. I just love my car and love driving, when I have a bit of money there is nothing else I need to spend it on so it goes towards the car, anything to improve the experience really. As much as I love it to pieces...

True in so many ways! (sorry, I have a ridiculously pointless hatred of Game and everything they stand for)

Do you have ones when we were sat at the traffic lights as well?!

Have the tractor boys (sorry, 'South West area reps') ever done a Breakfast run? Would be great heading out that way at like 7am on a Sunday morning or something when its dead quiet. I'm sure a few of us would be up for it.

The 182 is still a Phase II Clio is it not?

Better wheels this time, not the Laguna ones painted white. I'm guessing thats 90% of what the new Renaultsport Clio road car will be like, I'm guessing silver wheels, smaller spoiler, removal of roof scoop and its nearly there.

Just had a look online to confirm, not only is the DS as good as sold out, but the PSP and XBox 360 (obviously) are not available until after Christmas either. Going to be some dissapointed kiddies in a few weeks! Couldn't agree more though, glad to see it doing so well. They've barely...

Blimey! A few things to consider there, suspension kit sounds interesting. Will do some research and see what I think. Cheers everyone.
