Ofc, but what I am saying is you can never assume it's just a 70 if you see no signage (as many are 40/50); the only place you can do that is a motorway.
Oh please. My friend put his 172 gearbox all over the A1 at 90... along with the clutch, top end, bottom end and half the radiator. I can't recommend that.
Good effort though :p Time for an upgrade :D
Fine AFAIK, stainless exhaust system fitted somewhat recently (I've only had the car 2 weeks but the system looks fresh). Will check it tomorrow though.
Or what's it LIKELY to be? Just driving home in the 182 and I completely forgot I had the speed limiter on, so I came off a roundabout, gave it some beans, and the limiter cut in hard. I didn't see the EML at the time, but when I got in the car a little later, the EML was on. Still is. Car...
Just took her out for a b-road blast, really went for it. Holy f**k do I love this thing. Off my tits on adrenalin.
This thing is just so f**king rapid, the only thing holding me back was the fact it was throwing me out the seat in corners (and I'm 17.5 bloody stone). Jesus christ.
Had mine a little over a week. One of the alarm switches has broken, and the rear access release on the drivers side seat has failed but I don't care, I love the car to bits. It's fast, handles brilliantly, rides well and is a comfy place to be. I know it's going to throw little things up at me...
Mk 4 Golf... 1.4
The GTIs handle like a potato, I don't know how he thought he'd keep up in that. 182 is twice the power and lighter....
Can you do PayPal?
Drove her 90 miles, down B-roads, just gelling with it. Mate came for a drive with me in his new car that he picked up today, he put it in a field trying to keep up.
Moral of the story? Don't try and keep up with 182s :D
It's a great feeling. The car is so much more capable than I am used to, I can't even get close to its limits.
Thanks! I got it from not too far from High Wycombe, Great Missenden infact!
Yeah, might just grab some black spray paint from Halfords and do it next week, is getting the grill out...
Haha, didn't even realise that was broken cause it looked symmetrical. They cost £130 don't they? EEK!
Couldn't see any markings with a quick glance, will take another look later, sounds great though.
Now you've said that, it's standing out!
As above, after 3 years of waiting, I finally joined the ranks Clio Sport ownership, today I gave him his first clean (He has been dubbed Hugo Jr. due to a friend and his Clio Sport related shenanigans that ended.... badly). Full shampoo, clay and wax. Mint full fat black gold, 53K miles. I'm in...
Closing speed I assume must have been 100mph+. I know you know it already but you really are very lucky to be alive!
I for one will use this story to show people that Clios don't just disintegrate in crashes.
What are the cams like Rob? Something I've been thinking about doing in future.
Anyway, today I thought about my car. I test drove it on Saturday, instantly fell in love and put a deposit down. I pick it up on Wednesday. 2+ years I've waited to drive and own one!
