Yep, claying it won't protect against future spots, etc but it'll get rid of your current collection. Give it a nice wash, clay, polish and then a few layers of a decent sealant and wax and it'll be easier to maintain every so often.

That would have been cool, especially considering how close it was and the faces he was pulling! A true Kodak moment.

Ah, course mate, I should know you were running, I was sat beside you! I wonder how many people have a shot of Cliohead pulling a face or a silly run!?!

My old wheels are getting rid off as I've lost the space to store all my junk, on ebay with no reserve. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300022205291&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=020

I cannot stand the fact that every f*cking 'vs' thread, or even anything remotely resembling a 'vs' thread gets turned into a "mine's better than your's" conversation, often with various argumentative people completely missing the point. Jesus, I wonder if I said "I saw a nice Civic by the...

Lol, exactly. If you sound like a true enthusiast then you come across geeky (maybe we are!?!), if you say that you blasted down b-roads, shaking off supposedly 'better' cars then you sound like a chav. It won't stop me doing what I enjoy, but was just the theme of the conversation we had at...

Out of the ones not in the album Chris, did you get any of the drags at the end of the day?

Raised from a recent conversation with Neil (Freebone) and Cliohead's missus at the Airfield Meet yesterday: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=163868 We discussed the issue of how you raise the fact that you're into Clio's, and go to meets / trackdays on a regular basis, without...

I imagine it'll be a story of the 197 being quicker, but not as fun.

Will be interesting viewing, they'll be proving a point of either how far, or little, hatches have come... performance-wise anyway.

Now get it up to Rich's or Brazo's for a PC, it'll be a serious transformation on that blue.

Some good pics mate, too true about the dust and stuff flying up in the eyes, they're stinging like bitches this morning! My car smells of poo and I'm sunburnt as well...

Highlight of the day for me :D I hear she topped out at 65mph coming down the back straight... don't think my old Cinque Sporting even got past that!

Lol, nor me... take a walk down Fore Street next time, turn left at Co-Op, then hang a right.... ;)

I suppose so, maybe I should just go VAG diesel and be done wth it!

Lol, that's Steve's 250bhp 172....

Lol, if I did it wouldn't be so much for performance reasons, as just a change of scenary but equally fun. Day, how would it not free up any cash? I'd imagine you can get a fairly decent condition Willy for £2.5/3k now and the 172's will fetch £4.5/5k?

If you use QD then you shouldn't need to rinse again, but a lot of people just wash, and then use fresh shampoo/water as the lube for the clay, which dry streaky and therefore need rinsing off. Either way's fine though. As for 'Super Clay' or whatever, you want to make sure you don't get one...

Building on my previous thoughts of changing, and witnessing a few Williams at recent trackdays / meets, I'm wondering whether this would be viable.... seeing as they really seem to go some, handle like go-karts and have 'the look'. I know it's a much-discussed topic, but what do people think...

Was just about to post a 'spotted' thread about your's mate, only noticed the woman driver and figured "pah, can't be anyone off here"! ;) Looks and sounds nice, will have to get a closer look some time. :) Ad

Bloody english roads these days, always have to drive that little bhit faster... for safety reasons.

Ah right, so not much. Might wait til I have more funds and combine this with some other bits and pieces...

How much did it cost Fubar? Need to get this done to mine really...

You need a qualification to work those harnesses! Looking good mate, looks better going sideways around tyres...

Don't think I've seen a silver vee around town before, certainly not recently... will have to keep an eye out.

My mrs drives the 172 more than I do :(

:eek:

It'll be the sun that messed it up, not the shampoo and water mix... ;)

That'll be right Neil, the more layers of EGP you can fit in before the Natty's the better, leaving for a good hour or so between as well if possible.

Looks alright so far, I'd be tempted to blend the logo into the background a bit though, it looks like a stuck on image at the moment and not part of the page. Nice, simple, light layout though so a good start.
