It's just too daft to be real, surely... come on, who are you?

Don't really like it. The ph2 looks miles better, but I have to admit I've never seen a red one before.

Well, call us biased but most of us think RS Clios are just ace. There are threads and threads of 'discussion' about hot hatch rivals though, it'd be helpful to you if you checked a few out. Welcome to the forum!

Can't you take it somewhere else and bill Holdcrofts? Not even on the basis that they're sh*t and would probably try and fit a belt they got in the john lewis sales?

^Likewise, just couldn't afford the 197. I'll look at one in a couple of years tops. Quite possibly sooner.

Lol then that's what you should do else you'll always regret it and you'll end up getting the vee anyway!

Hmmm, have you got a satnav or anything plugged into the power socket?

Do you get a ticking sound when you turn the key in the ignition?

My 182 insurance costs me £617 fully comp. I'm 22 with 3yrs driving experience and 6yrs no claims (direct line swapped my motorbike no-claims over to my car policy as I don't ride my bike any more). Without the NCB it was close to £1300 fully comp. Dread to think what they would have asked at 17.

Yeah I would have. My first car was a 93 106 XN - nothing but 1000ccs of throbbing power. No power steering, no air con, not even a fifth gear! We can't criticise the chap for wanting a faster car and as long as he and his family think he's ready for the responsibilty of being in control of a...

Fair point, an awful lot of people mod their cars and don't tell the insurance... it's just the same thing really but people don't shout off at that. Not that I agree with being a named driver/main user, but if people wanna criticise it then they've got no right to mod unless they tell their...

Well if you really wanna do this it'll be bloody expensive, but direct line are worth a look, as I'm with them and they were the cheapest for me (22yo). Also try the comparison sites, confused.com and gocompare.com. Quinn direct are cheap too, if they can actually quote you. But if you wanna do...

That's poor! :dapprove: I hope I get better than that!

Nah lol, phone cameras are a bit poo tbh, the sensors are too small. Because of the sensor size they're almost always noisy and camera shake is amplified too. They're proper handy, but the same shot with a grand's worth of SLR and lens might give different results. But tbh, £50 or £1000... no...

He's dreaming at £2k for that car if it's been written off twice. But the sad fact is that there's always someone thicker who'll not check its history and think it's a bargain. Sorry, bArGiN.

Interesting alternative viewpoint :)

Re: NATIONAL CLIOSPORT MEET IDEAS? I'm in the NW... in Carlisle. But my brother/parents live in Stoke and I could crash there as a base for national meet purposes... oh, and my name's already on there ;) looking forward to it!

hmmmmmmm.........:o

Think I'd have to go for the trophy.

You might find it's the limited-slip diff. The clios I've driven do it too, and it's no way the tyres. Feels completely different. It's not harming you or the car though :)

Haha. I've used Canon for years, they're miles ahead of Nikon in many ways imo. Nikon do make solid cameras though. But tbh, none of those 'fisheye' pics look like fisheye shots at all - there's none of the distortion and they're not wide enough. Photography is my other obsession (next to cars &...

Re: NATIONAL CLIOSPORT MEET IDEAS? So are we being PMd about this?

Nah, it'd have to be a late, zero-miler v6. 04-plate ones are at about 15k at the moment.

But yeah, what's with all the bitchiness on this thread? I really don't want to know whatever history there is but there's no need for it. Are we all 14? I bloody hope not. If you are, get off your dad's computer and put a DVD on. There's a good lad. ;)

When you give your insurance company a ring, and if you're covered, they'll tell you to use one of their recommended fitters. Best to do it their way, it'll cost around £60 and it's minimal fuss. I used to work in the office for an independent windscreen replacement company in Stoke so I know...

Yeah I'll third that. But if you couldn't afford 4 tyres and you wanted to swap from one brand to another then swap in pairs according to which end wears out first. Personally I'd never have two different tyres on the same axle.

Hehehe quality. I'd want the dashboard to be solid gold for that much money!

Hahahahahahaha blinding!! They really should ressurect this campaign for their modern cars... with today's technology it'd be... what would the kids say? Oh that's it: It'd be 'proper bo.'

Yeah the little Clio holds its own damn well, but it still doesn't stop me wanting a bright orange focus ST... ;) ...just a little anyway.

Saw you parked near motorworld or whatever it's called, but you were on the opposite side of the road. Hi anyway, if you're on here!
