I do think the ph1 (supercharged) mini is a better looking car. The proportions just seem to be more spot on. Is the ph2 a better car?

With all the others here. You will be certifiable if your bought a V6 to get trashed on a main road and do over 20k miles a year on it. If you want fun and have that much money to blow, buy a shed and spend the rest on hookers :evil:

I want your car :cool:

Fair enough. The problem with the JCW is they are a victim of their own success. Say what you like about the look of the 200 but they are rare as rocking horse sh1t and that will always make them special.

At 22 you have a Clio 200, fancy a JCW for 6 months before buying a Focus RS :S. If you can afford to do it then great but have you stopped to consider the depreciation as soon as you drive it off the forecourt? Don't take this the wrong way but this sounds like a case of 'more money than...

If I was going to buy a JCW, it would be this one. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=492360 I would love that, it's just not practical enough for me :(

Parked up near Henleys Corner last night.

Who said that, come closer sonny :dead:

You would say that now have gone and bought a FORD = Fix Or Repair Daily ;)

+1 I don't want to turn the clock back 20 years. More knowledge, experience, direction and money than I ever had at 20. Don't get me wrong, my 20s were great years (pissed off round the world at 22 and didn't come back until 24. Did a degree from 26 -29. Great fun :D) but it is much healthier...

When you're 20, 25 looks old!!!! I've said this before, a 20 year old thinks a 40 year old is old. A 40 year old thinks they're still 20. Don't worry about getting older, I'm having just as much fun now.

Just found out my mate's dad has bought one and he's fast approaching 70 :S

One of the best 197s :cool:

Not that old. 41 but not for much longer.

LOL Roy is on planet Roy. I don't look or feel my age. In fact I refuse to grow up :rasp:

No worries :D. Now I have the dilema that I still feel 20 but also feel that I'm too old to be on here :(

Easy tiger, I'm probably double your age and am still a petrolhead. Age has nothing to do with stupidity here :(

WOW. Thing is I like to keep the tyres standard. I have a second set of wheels with 2 almost new Contis on them and 2 that need changing. Plan is to use those as road wheels and the set of alloys on the car for track days (if I ever do one) which is why I would like the road tyres to be the same.

Usual 197 stuff. 215 / 45 / 17 91W Extra Load

Phone a couple of tyre dealers that I normally use and they are quoting over £140 fitted. Kwik Fit online (never thought I would ever mention them again :rolleyes:) quoting £118 fitted. I live in NW London. Does this sound ok?

In the end, they're probably jealous. Like a few of you on here, I am quite comfortable with who I am and what i like so don't give a sh1t what others think.

Isn't there a forum for 'pipe and slippers' lovers :rasp:

What are you driving now?

I'm sure I read another post recently from you Mike that said how reliable your 197 was :S. My 197 is on almost 41k miles. Do you know why it happened to you?

LOL :lolup:

WTF :S What happened?

Working from home in my front room today when this lovely LY V6 drives past my window. Sounded amazing. You might have seen my 197 in the drive.

Fair enough.

Seb could confirm this, but Nimbus defo was not a standard colour. Renault have told me that as they can't supply me with a paint stick.

Just to add to the above, my car is Nimbus as well and that was an expensive option, I think.
