No, Renault only let people have the Silver cars if there real men, legends in the bedroom and devastatingly handsome, hold on while I have a look out the window, yeah mines Silver. ;)

I noticed this morning, that it was reading a pleasant 15C, and it was snowing, I thought this was strange, so got out the car for a quick T-Shirt test, and was it fcuk 15c more like 1 or 2, Anyone else got a faulty, broken temp gauge?

You should try driving a LHD one, in the UK, without adjusting the lights ( I cant be arsed) Virtually every car flashes you, so you just have to hit them with the full beams to really annoy them :):)
When I come back home to Yorkshire, its 820 kms about 500 miles, takes about 8-9 hours, and a couple of fuel stops, but then Im in the airconditioned comfort of a 172, and not a stripped out shoebox like the cup;)
I once did, South east Holland to St tropez in the polo Gti That was a...
Well Ive got two years to wait, and at my present mileage, the companies likely to make me run an oil burner, If not It depends whats out at the time, I can have 3 doors, but not 2 seats, so V6 is out of the question, I might opt out if I have to buy a Diesel, Get my own cheap reliable car for...
Can you get factory supplied induction kits for the 172 in the UK???
I asked over here when I got mine, but he said they didnt do them. And if I did it would invalidate the warranty.
I like mine the way it is too.
Weight matters though went carting with a mate when I weighed 92 kilos, and couldnt catch him, lost 10 kilos, went again and thumped him :D
No probs dude, My best mates got a Punto sporting, he turned down a 2yr old Punto GT, to get the new shape sporting, Silly fool, got it home from the garage and said "I wish Id bought that GT" Laughed, I p1ssed myself. :)
I think Renton in trainspotting uses a similar term when he finds his gear in the lavvy "ahhhh ya fcuking dancer" I think its scottish for Im well chuffed.
I take it to an autowash in Germany, and use the Jet wash, and brush ( nice and soft bristles) I cant handwash it cause I live in an apartment block and theres no taps downstairs. At the start of summer, I give it a good wash, dry and a bit of trusty turtle wax. But I have a stange window...
Mine is March 03, and its done 50,000ks since then. Nothing major, no washer problems, I have the standard 172 Knocking and 2nd rate interior build, but apart from that its been tip top. Its had a hard life, most of those miles have been Autobahn 180kph+ speeds, and its never faultered.
I...
Im not a member, but Im from Northallerton n/Yorks, so when I,m back Im mooching about those parts and middlesboro, If you see a Iceberg 172 with dutch plates, give me a wave. :)
My car has got 50,000 kms on the clock, 10 short of its sixty service, the last few days Ive noticed that the cat has started to smell, when the engines pushed. Ive not noticed it before, Plus, its maybe just me, but the car doesnt seem as sweet as usual, maybe it just needs its oil changing...
Ouch, I did the same to my old polo Gti, bonnet folded up, fcuked radiator etc etc, it thought write off, but the insurance said no way, it was in the shop for three weeks, until it was fixed :( Plus its not the same when you get it back, I wish It had been a write off.
I had a polo GTi before the 172, and the blue lights is the only thing I miss about it, but after 3 years of blue lights the orange of the Renault was a nice change.
"The 182 reacts to every little deviation and suffers badly from oversteer. "
Didnt know theyd made it RWD :):) Quick tip, stop bottling out half way round a corner love.:D
I know its only a gimmick, but when are Renault going to put a push button starter on the clio, the Laguna can have one, why not the clio, and while your at it, make it glow bright red. For that briefest of moments, so u can close your eyes and imagine your starting a race car. :D
