    Your Car's Greatest Moment Captured

    Great pic! I'd take mine on a track day if I wasn't so scared of killing it ;)

    Clio 172 C2 VTS

    No crash barriers! Yeah they look like mates tbh. But a standard C2 VTS would kill itself trying to keep up with a 1*2, so maybe it's tuned and maybe the Clio is taking it easy.

    Windscreen vs pheasant

    So it's legal if you have a mate in his transit 'accidentally run into' a sheep, cos then you can have mutton chops? Now that's teamwork!

    What do you like most about your clio sport?

    Superb driving involvement... ... but built by semi-skilled monkeys.

    08 R26

    How come they made at least 2413 of them when they only made so few R27s??? Bah.

    Windscreen vs pheasant

    Was just on the Renaultsport Clios I think. At least it was on the 182ff, I'm not actually 100% sure on the 172/182 Cup. The screen has a heat reflective coating: you can tell by the purply colour of the screen when you look at it from the outside.

    Windscreen vs pheasant

    Lol doesn't look as bad as I'd feared, but still. I wouldn't even want to pay £50 or £60 for a pheasant if it was cooked by Gordon Ramsey, so paying that much after one broke my windscreen.... put it this way, I'd make sure it was dead.

    Windscreen vs pheasant

    Oof! Ben, sorry to hear that! Pheasants are so effing dumb. They just don't understand to fly out of the way of bigger, faster-moving things! I used to work for a windscreen replacement company, check your policy cos it'll have a windscreen excess on it if it's fully comp. You'll have to pay...

    The Last Picture Before...

    Not so fond of the wheels, but I bet they're unique on a Clio!

    The day the clio TT hit te road......

    Bloody hell, this is an amazing project. I'd like to see how long your tyres last though lol. I reckon I'd like to see some vids too, it must be an abosulte monster on the road.

    197 clarkson review

    I like Clarkson, but half of that was a rant at something completely unrelated to the car. I mean even the link between the traffic wombles and the car was a bit shakey. Not taking anything away from the guy, he's good at what he does, but this one looks to me like he was running short of ideas...

    Mum's new car :D

    I reckon '+1' sums it up nicely.

    My New Fiesta St

    Very nice looking cars, them. I'd consider swapping my 182 for one once I grow up a bit lol.

    Crashed 172 Cup! - M6 Viaduct - 5pm today :(

    Nope, happens to me too. I'll be up for assault at the very least before long. Maybe even GBH if someone actually hits my car.:banghead:

    Love the Cup - but why...

    Tee hee... I beat one of those in my old 306 DTurbo! He was NOT happy and ended up very very nearly binning it after going on to a roundabout far too fast. I'd slowed off for the turn cos I'd proved my point, but they never learn, do they? :rolleyes: They always have to come past once you slow...

    Help what's this???

    Result! Still, you'll be going at granny-pace until they fix it... ;)

    Help what's this???

    Sounds like it's gone into limp home mode. I don't know what the symbol means without looking it up (and my car's in my garage), but whenever that 'SERV' light comes on you know it's 'hand over the beer tokens' time.

    182 vs Cooper S

    Cooper S (the new turbocharged one) has a stunning engine and gearbox, it just lacks the 'rush' of the 182. The older supercharged one was disappointing tbh. Quality was lacking too, it's much better now. If only the speedo was where it should be!

    Automatic 182

    Eh?? Something smells fishier than the little mermaid's undercrackers.

    I like a bit of Super Resin Polish too, if I haven't got any Ultra Deep Shine anyway.

    Giacuzzo 197!!!! OMG!

    Tbh from the quotes above I thought it was going to be worse than it is. Not a huge fan but it's not terrible!

    whos 100% road legal

    I'm completely legal. If I had extra tuning bits on or anything like that I'd always be a bit concerned about being pulled over. Not worth it in my eyes! Got no problem with adding bits and pieces or whatever, just not for me.

    New 2009 Clio

    Oh my god, the windows on the QE2 are smaller than those headlights! Well done Renault, you've just lost a shedload of customers.

    who is the youngest V6 owner?

    Credit to the guy for actually paying it and not just leaving it uninsured! edit: or should that be 'credit to his parents for paying it'?

    Test drove 197 and R27 back to back, was surprised...

    Awesome, I was thinking I was the only guy on CS who'd have the standard seats... standard 197 FTW lol. Just painted to look like a Cup (white with black wheels ;))

    FAO all Audi fan, you'll love this...

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a worse looking car. Excuse me while I vomit.

    Crap brakes on 182

    There's plenty of fluid, but I'll have a look at changing it if that might make a difference.

    Crap brakes on 182

    My standard 182 just had a new set of rear discs and pads a week or two ago. The fronts are fine apparently. When I try to stop in a hurry there's a serious lack of bite and really inadequate power compared to my brother's also standard 182. There's nothing obvious at fault - can anybody shed...

    White Cup and Blue Cup pics

    That is just perfect. I want it. Where do you live...? ;)

    Quite like that short aerial... and mine bashes on my garage door too so I might think about getting one!
