filled up yesterday and re-set trip drove 5 miles on a busy but free flowing A road @ max 50 in top mpg was stuck on 99.9mpg average was 46mph but miles to go read 1340 I know it it shows 770 to go @ 70mpg (and Ive managed 798), so assuming 11 gallons must have been doing 121mpg!

bloody emissions, cats etc. we had 3x 1.1 106s first 2 were basic 4 speed pre-cats - absolutely superb last one - heavy (airbags, side impacts, PAS, cat, injection etc) - sh*t slow & lardy pile of ....

a few nice details, but a bit OTT spotlight blanks hint at ..... Mums old 1.2

YEP if you use form, they will know that you already have tax!

technically yes, 1 minute past midnight on morning of 1st is breaking the law, but 90% of the country queue up on the 1st! your renewal starts from NEXT month - you can buy any time up to 2 weeks before end of Oct. and simply stick in the windscreen on 31st or 1st.

wish I could have afforded something like that for my first one! ditto V6 Telford-Mike I had a 2cv with a bee on the bonnet, 29BHP and 200K on the clock!

thrashed a WRX, S2000, Rally Spec Escort RS, V8 this, turbo that ...............etc etc etc driven a V6 Clio only 200 yards in 1st guess which one I want? yep a Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yum Yum

worse than ex-demo, I bought an ex-Hertz hire car in 99! an 18 month old Turbo D Xsara with 10K on the clock for half the new price nothing wrong with it at all - went like a dream 100 all day long on motorway did 35K in it in 18 months and only lost £1600 when I sold it private! CHEAP...

dogmaul - fair enough mate ^^ Disco - Dont let a MINT motor go for peanuts! fix the shaft for £100 and get another 5 on top! the buyer is always right - youre buying

OOPS just realised Megs a petrol - still worth easy 300!

DONT Trade-in - gotta be worth £500! http://www.autotrader.co.uk www.autotrader.co.uk is £15 for 2 weeks on-line a decent diesel with history and moderate mileage (yes 115 is moderate) will be snapped up - I got £1400 in 3 hours for a MINT L plate 19TD RSi with 86K last year! Clio dCi...

Whole thing sounds WELL Dodgy, what kind of dealer sells a car that doesnt exist. its a special edition! - the dealer probably sells 50 different models of Reno - not unusual for a special model production run to run out ok its had the balls ragged off it do you really think that a demo...

DEFO 1 - good price if 54 or 04 - thats a 10K car! dynamique is higher spec and special editions tend to lose value quicker cos they date (badges and trim) ** WARNING: ADVICE from a Dynamic dCi owner ** ;)

^^ I assume a 320d? better than a 330d when SUERCHIPPED cos 95% of power without nose heavy 6 cyclinder!

you bugger - I wanted that ;) a wicked motor :D

^^ cant BOTH have policy on same car! OK with gap for year or 2 always get a £100 moped and insure for next 2 nothing and dont use? I transferred a year on a motorbike to a second car.

^^ bus pass + V6 like that idea, but she used to have a nice Coupe till sprog come along - I dont think Id pull that one off! and I get my racing bike in the estate a lot easier and can park it anywhere when I turn up late for a race!

Love almost everthing Italian, but park a Ferrari - keyed with you rich wa*ker envy! park a v6 - thumbed and nosed with friendly & curious wow envy! Id love a Ferrari (but @ 40K half way to a complete engine rebuild), but Id buy the Clio!

welcome Scotty I miss the land of 80 shilling and mince pies (the REAL ones!) being a Manager in Bucks :sleep: aint nuffin like ......... ............. being a student in Aberdeen :p :D

30K? :p thats an everyday D AND a nearly noo V6 :D

^^ 2 different cars is the answer wife: sensible large estate for all the junk, trips to the tip and holidays me: zippy little toy car for the rest

question of cash and space - have you got it/do u need it? 182 from about 11K (nearly noo) 225 from 15K (04 on Autotrader)

lots of 182s dont have em, but those that do (Toms pics) look cool :D I know the wings are wider on a 172/182, but will a 182 front spiltter fit an ordinary new shape??

ACE - want 1 its top of my shopping list to replace the wifes dull estate car - she wants a Zafira GSi - fab but a bit bus shaped!

I like toy cars ^^ aint that wot most of us drive anyway -Clios ;)

WELL COME can i ave you cast off engine? - Ive only got 80BHP! but its the 140lb/ft+ of torque that does the biz :D

CUP or rather TEAM is a basic 182 basically air instead of climate, no auto bits and bobs (light/wipers etc.)dynamique interior etc. - cheap! but not cheap enough! get a 182 with CUP spec a whopping discout instead
