Well done Matt, 400+bhp is bloody impressive!

Maybe your viper isn't fitted correctly? Cold air feed problem?

"This is not a boy raced example" With two huge pipes out the back.... and whats going on with the badges on the back?? Apart from that, a lovely example!

Well after the dilemma of my back box hanging off a couple of weeks back, I limped the car to Mark Fish for him to have a look at, as I seemed to be going round in circles with everyone else. What an excellent set up, his garage confirmed the car would be in good hands with a selection of...

Yes next time you're down there keep an eye out, as I haven't been spotted yet! Almost next to where you parked, silver 172.. although it's not there at the mo cos it's at Mark Fish having some bits done...

Aye, I've seen that one too, was bloody expensive too I seem to remember, about £13k!?

You must have been going to Epping Sports Centre lastnight... I said to the missus, I hope none of the neighbours have bought a Vee, I wanted to be the first in the village.:p

Yep, so I thought I might as well take the opportunity to get the whole lot replaced. Anyone had any dealings with Mark Fish? As they are local to me.

Just coming upto 39k. The exhaust did sound like it was blowing too, which was getting louder as I got nearer to home. It was only when I got home and looked underneath the backbox seemed to be hanging lower than usual....

Sh*t, finally the exhaust has given up! I'm surprised it has lasted as long as it has really. Although this now leaves my car out of action for a while (as the backbox is hanging off) it now leaves me in a position to source a nice new one! :D Any ideas what I should go for? I want to keep the...

Total lack of respect for peoples posessions, they should chop the f*ckers hands off. They'd find it hard to do that sort of thing again with no hands!

Sod doing 165 mph in a Clio though, I can imagine it taking off or something! lol

PM me too please, I'm interested in hearing this..

I gave up after I got to 'wid'............. innit :quiet:

W*nkers, I can't believe the nerve of these people... I hope something very slow and painful happens to them..

Lovely looking phase 1 that. The mods really compliment it.

Lovely colour! I want one!

It does have leather, and they are extremely supportive seats. As far as the spec goes, I thought it had more than the 182.

Believe me, the driving position is so so much better than the 172, I sat in one last week in Geneva, and I was well impressed.

Now we're talking... also, a 7 speed sequential gearbox... and something like the 'M' button that you get on the M5, which increases power by another 100 bhp! :D

It shows the 172 Cup being lighter at 1011kg, rather than 1060kg for the 182 cup.

V8 Clio would be better, to cope with the extra weight! :cool:

Spotted you this morning around the back of Ivy Chimneys, gave you a quick flash but I think you thought I was mad or something.... :D

Some pics of the competition.....

I think I'll wait for a 'cup' model too, plus I want to own a Vee first!

The black was nice, it was just a sort of flat black, but it did look good. I asked a couple of people about a 'cup' model, but they just pointed to the 'cup racer'. But when I said 'No, the road going cup' they looked at me blankly and said they didn't understand!

finally...

some more pics................

Just got back from the show, and managed a to get inside the new 197. You can definately get a sense of where the extra weight has come from, the doors feel heavier, and you tend to get that VW sort of thud which you're not used to on a Renault! The seats felt bloody good compared to the...

That looks lovely in racing blue with the darker rims.... If they'd used that colour when they launched the car I think they would have got a much better reponse!
