Where abouts are you from?

Any of you guys about tomorrow evening for a mini-meet?

It can't be that bad!

Drying towels only.

Cheers! Do they not get 'musty'?

How do you guys clean your drying towels? Everything i've read on DW indicates I need to chuck it in a dryer to get it 'fluffy' again - but I don't have a dryer, so it's just chucked in the washing machine @ 30 on a short spin cycle but when dried it's not exactly 'soft'? /pauper

Yeah definitely. The 197 goes tomorrow night, but it's being replaced with an R26 - so will have to get some photos of the cars.

I've pm'd you mate.

I'm another Alvaston'er too.

Where abouts do you live? FYI I'm not a stalker:o

Welcome to the site. Yet another Derby member. We need a meet!

In this photo, the 197 looks so much better. If anything i'd say it looks less 'dated' than the 200 :S

Why the hell am I buying another black car? I swore after last time i'd never do it. For winter, i'm looking for a durable sealant (i'm a wax fan myself, so this is my first attempt with sealants), I love the idea behind Opti-Coat 2.0, but it needs to be applied inside which isn't feasible for...

Sold it :D

Well i've just gone and bought an R26 in black, with the lux pack (full leather interior) - after reading a huge thread on DW about cleaning leather I need your help guys. Do I just clean and protect? Or condition? From what i've read a matte finish rather than a shiny finish is preferable?

It's just a bog standard Nimbus Grey 197. The best angle is bang on front, especially when walking back to the car after paying for fuel - I think 'fcuk yeah'! Side profile I don't like though - much preferred the overall look of my 172 Cup tbh! Gaz - I agree a subtle drop and spacers on the...

Funny you say that, i'm selling mine due to it's 'lack' of presence! (Well that and it's mediocre performance).

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news So if the aim is to shave the weight down by 200kg, that puts it at sub 1100kg? That means a better power to weight ratio than an R26! Still fugly.

I'm moving away from a 197 (very similar to the 200 - unless you ask a 200 owner ;) ), to an R26 after owning the 197 a year - interesting comparison in the OP.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Surely 200kg less and more power will put it close to the Megane 260 in terms of performance? I doubt Renault want that.

Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus Is it quite a common issue then? As i'm pretty much set on an R26 (going to view one this week in fact) - slightly worried now!

Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus Sorry to hear that man :( What's caused the f*cked rods though?

Awesome! Will have to have a mini meet sometime - before I sell the 197!

It's definitely middle - upper class is Alvaston ;) Another Derby member! Where abouts are you from man?

A local lad then - i'm Alvaston way :D

Welcome to the forum - i'm Derby way too, where abouts are you located?

Looking forward to seeing how this progresses :) You're coming across as an absolute bellend. TBH.

Those Steam cleaners were absolutely flying out of our store today! 3 year warranty with the manufacturer remember too guys ;)

- 57 Plate 197 - 42k - Belts / pump service just done - 2 owners including me - Full service history (All Renault bar 2 when Stratstone bought and serviced) - Non cup - Mot May 2013 - New Conti Sport 5s on the front and 3s on the rear 2 months back. - Good condition throughout. Wondered if it...
