I decided if you cant say anything nice and all that..... I was expecting more from you though Rob. Feeling okay?:D

Welcome to the forums. They both looks so nice and clean :D I hope there arent going to be any decals on the Clio? Not something Im a fan of, just my opinion of course ;)

Not quite. The diff in the ST 170 is far better suited to normal road use. If Id not been made redundant in January Id have a Focus RS, although for the type of driving I do a more powerful ST 170 would suite me better. I can see an RS out the window now. Im still tempted to chop the...

We tried it out on some slippery lanes. He was surprised I kept up. He thought my ESP was helping, but it didnt intervene once. I think he spent more time changing gear to keep the revs up!! The CTR would be pulling away convincingly over 110. I almost brought a CTR, but my g/f at the...

And np steering lock!!:o I used to look a right idiot trying to park the GTi-6. That had more lock one way than the other!!

Judging by a guy I know who has one, its because the drivers are all maniacs!!! ;) Seriously though, in the real world out on the road there is nothing in it, the drivers would be making the difference. Or the size of his kahunas!!

They need to do the same for people eating while driving also. I followed a women in a beetle who was happily eating a sandwich. We stopped at a large island and everyone else was going while she brushed crumbs off her lap. :@ How does this effect hands free users?

Welcome to the club. _KDF, not poking stick this time?

Sutton Park Renault near Birmingham had one last week. I dont know if its a demo though.

Obviously a Friday afternoon car on the verge of a Bank Holiday weekend!! :o

I had a 2.0 litre Focus Zetec ESP as my company car before I got the:D Clio. There isnt really much to compare in handling terms. The Focus did have plenty of grip, but even with only 130bhp it stuggled to put the power down onto the tarmac. Not a problem the Clio has, it just digs in and...

Amen brother :D

I really wish I had a fast Metro instead of my car. Id be the absolute boy parked up outside McDonalds!! I wonder which K series engine it is. The standard one or the VVC unit. "THERETICAL 350BHP" in his f*****g dreams. If that was possible then people would have that in an Elise.

They looked cheap and tacky.:o Ive just got some new ones on mine, they are Silver and look quite good:o some guy came up to me in the street and offered em me for a £1.:D

Just to make us all feel worse. The Subaru dealer have just collected his car on a trailer and left him a courtesy Ka. If that had been Renault there would have been a 5 week wait, and the usual, "we only serviced it sir, the fault must be a coincidence".

I bet that thing has problems with a heavy fly wheel!!!

Think this is what he was getting at: http://www.pureluckdesign.com/other/rta96c/http://www.pureluckdesign.com/other/rta96c/ You sure you can handle one that big Jilly? :o

Calm down guys, its not just Renault dealers although they are the masters of disaster. My mate has just been round to ask me to have a listen to his Impreza Turbo. It went in for a full service today with nothing wrong, and came back with something binding in the engine and something...

Mine has had minimal problems so far. Two weeks after getting it I had a new external temperature sensor and seat runners. Next week its in for the knocking under the bonnet which happens when I corner on a bumpy surface. Ive not had the 4k rattle yet, but the exhaust has certainly got...

The service is as un predicatable as the quality of the cars. So far Sutton Park have been fine with me. But then Im only on my second visit to them since getting the car in March. They dont have an issue with the fact that the car came from Motorpoint! I just hope once this fault is fixed...

Renault Birmingham didnt impress me. Ive got a mate who works in the Renault Wolverhampton body shop!! Ill make sure gives your car a good thrashing ;)

Surely yours is covered by the warranty? I wonder if the reason they were happy to take mine was because Im paying real money to get an oil and filter change done. Maybe if I was only in for a repair under warranty they would have put my date back too.

Youre joking. Thats where mine is going!! I didnt even buy my car from them and they have got me booked in before you. You might want to be having more words with them!!

Nosh, check this little beauty out. It was parked outside Halfords believe it or not ;) I couldnt resist taking a sneaky with my phone. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1056360466__image006.jpg Its not that easy to tell from that picture, but the car is bright pink and...

Griff, which dealer are you taking it to? I booked mine in on Friday to get the knocking from the front end fixed. That was the 20th, they have the car booked in for the 1st of June. I was expecting a much longer wait than that. Im glad they can get it in as the noise is happening a lot...

Mine is blue, its true!! Just in case anyone didnt already know that ;) But its far from shiny, and has a load of dead flies I need to scrape off tomorrow when I wash it :cry:

Arent 75% of cars sold blue? I think the only reason people think there are more silver cars is that shades of silver dont differ as much as shades of blue. You could park 10 totally different blues together and notice the difference, I wouldnt have thought that would be the case with Silver?

Those wheels looked really nice mike. Ive always had a thing for wheels with a darker finish to them, Impreza P1, CTR and Cup wheels are all just lovely!!!:D This is turning into a 172 appreciation thread!!!

It can, but the current one is fine as far as Im concerned. Im just not big on carbon fibre. Bling bling for cars :D
