I do a lot of motorway miles in mine now and it can get loud an if you aren't in a driving mood it can get tiresome. It isn't a bad cruiser as it has cruise control and gets good mpg on the motorway. Mine has the earlier gearbox and I can average 34-36 on motorways. Your 09 will have the later...

Re: Clio Bargins. Picked up a few for my 197 lately. Cup spoiler already sprayed albi blue - 170 Matched inlets with gasket and modified throttle body and a set of contisport 3s with 6-8mm tread - 470 Black speedlines from a 200 with federal rsr tyres that had been tracked once - 540.

Mine has just reached its 5 year service. Paid about 800 for it (both belts, pulleys, water pump and the usual service bits) Average about 28-31 across a tank but can be as low at 24 if I'm have a mad week. You'd push to get 400 miles out of a tank. 5-6k won't get you both. Brought mine early...

Re: South East Wharf Meet 5th Feb 2pm I might be able to make this. On my earlies so will have to see.

Yep looks like a 197 cup. DWN looks to be the last few plate letters. The back one has been added but the side ones may have come from factory

People destroying other people's car or bits of their car. Worst modification imo.

Gaz I've been saying the same in regards to the Zoe and Clio being similar in design. I reckon the next gen Clio is going to be a very marmite car.

Top money 182. At 5k a 197 (you will see mostly 06/56 plates for sale at this price) is going to be due it's cambelt/high mileage/tatty or having issues in some way. Every now and then a good low money one comes around but I'd say go for a good spec 182 or trophy.

Excuses, excuses ;) I had to get up for work the next day at 430am I still went and didn't get home till gone 10pm.

Try something different, try White :p

Don't scroll too fast or you'll miss the model lol At least we can make out what cars they are and mine definitely looks cleaner coated in darkness.

ah stephie I'll pm you who to search for on facebook.

Was nice to meet everyone that was there :)

Well I'm here. Traffic was lighter then I thought. No one else yet though.

Colour coded handles are such an improvement.

second hand. Go for the spec you want, bide your time and get a bargain. The 200's normally come up 1 owner anyway so you really do have a good choice.

Mine isfully covered in mud ATM. In need of a wash. Love some of these pictures especially the White R27. I've now seen other 197s with the little French colours on the grill :)

Found the link its just under their profile photo. Thanks for posting about it, wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

I maybe up for this, would be nice to see what the 197 is actually getting. Will let you know when the rotas are done after new years.

If your caught between a trophy or twingo 133, get a trophy. It's done the majority of its depreciation now. So you'll lose less money in the long run.

A few more people now :)

Don't think I've seen you yet then. There is 3 silver 172s, a black 182 and a LY R27 and an albi 200. There's also a white meg 250. I see them at random times driving oxted - Sevenoaks, although the LY one bugs me as it parks around the corner from me and I've yet to spot the owner. Will keep...

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197 I average 30+ in mine. Mixed driving town and NSL roads. Motorways I can see 35+ if I'm just setting it on cruise control and letting it go. This is on a 56 plate (reg January 07) A lot of it comes down to how and where you are driving it.

If you can afford to run one then go for it, I love mine. Remember the earlier ones are coming due for cambelts and have the original gearbox (pre revision) so can tend to use more petrol. So if you really do want an earlier one you might be able to get one with its cambelt already done. It...

Yeah I'm westerham but drive through oxted a fair deal due to one of the stations being by morrisons. If you see an albi blue 197 with a redhead behind the wheel that'll be me. What do you drive as I've seen 1 or 2 sports around that way?

I've seen that around too. Only recently so either it's only just happened or isn't used much.

Yeah I remember it. At least I now also now were everyone is parked too.

Is this the one near the Cinema and bowling place? I think I've been there before.

I adore the one with the Clio in the large puddle. I also really like the last one.

I'm from westerham, I've only had my Clio since April and haven't been to meets like I have done with my ford.
