And Mike172 took this picture outside his house ... popped round straight after picking up the V6 (since Mike only lives down the road from the garage) to see how he was doing with his plastered leg. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y44/mike172sport/cliosport%20stuff/andyr.jpg

So I know that the idea is that I take loads of pictures and post on here ... but TBH Ive been too busy driving it since picking it up late this morning :D :D :D :D Even better than I remember it ... is so fast and Im still granny shifting at 3-3.5kprm. Cant stop smiling! My kids love it too...

So can the laser detector on the RA 2 be disabled? Assume its something you plug in (given the front/back detectors)?

Cool ... could see the repeaters but not the arse end ;)

Ha ha ... modding it already :D Assume its the side repeaters youve changed? Has been a great un for me ... so hope you enjoy it just as much. Despite the V6 coming Im still sad to see it go ... but at least its to a good home wholl take care :D

V6 is a somewhat individual car! Thats why it produces extreme reactions. I like hot hatches and love my 172 - check. Ive always wanted something with more than 4 cylinders - check. I personally think the V6 looks dead funky (and Im old enough to remember Metro 6R4s and thought similarly for...

Thats the cheapest Ive seen. I did spend some time trying to sort a V6 tho another (reasonably well know) internet broker, but in the end gave up since were no signs it was ever going to turn up. A V6 isnt the sort of car that Renault UK expect to be bought by the leasing/hire channels that the...

That one sold pretty quickly! Apparently was delivered with a paint fault on the bonnet ... the customer didnt want it ... and they sold it on cheap. Bargain - even I was prepared to consider a black V6 for that price ... but wasnt fast enough!

I made sure that I hit the limiter on mine ... on the test drive :D Once its warmed up ... I always use the full rev range on mine!

You did well to get an apology ... all I got was "Due to an adminstrative error we have cancelled the NIP ....". Doesnt even make sense ... almost read that they cancelled it in error, vs. we shouldnt have ever sent it. :@ Im not bitter ;)

First time Ive seen a liquid V6 for real ... previously it was Niks clever trickery ;) Nice ... but Ill stick with Red :) [Edited by James on 14 February 2005 at 8:46am]

Now sold ... but not to me! Apparently it was a retail order than when it came had a paint imperfection on the bonnet. £7k off and all you needed to do was get the bonnet sorted ... bargain. Hence lots of interest ... hence quickly sold!

Wotcha :D

195/50R15 is a common size as it was explained to me at Micheldever tyres. Hence they make more ... sell more ... and price is less.

sh*t thats cheap for a V6 255 from a dealer. Hmmm ... black wasnt the colour I wanted ... The second link ... no catch tho itll be pre-registered I expect. Personally see no problem being the second owner on paper.

Had exactly the same thing happen to me. Got my first ever NIP ... thought bugger ... then thought Ive never even been to Manchester in this car, let alone at 4AM the other day. Took an assertive letter and a few weeks, and in the end I got a terse note admitting nothing but saying that the...

If you get a yellow get the liquid, and not the acid. Liquid colour looks lovely, but I think the acid is horrible. Personally I didnt want to spend the extra money. You could go for Inferno ... standard colour on a Vee now and a bit different.

Youll love the drive. Very, very different from any other Clio. Just go armed with a price that theyll never be able to match. They tried for me, but couldnt get to what I wanted. They look disappointed but no hard feelings.

Wotcha :D

Ill lend him it ... for only 11% APR :p

You can get V6 in Liquid Yellow too now ... much better than the Acid! However unlike James Im not prepared to pay an extra £1k for a 1970s coloured car ;)

Wotcha eldar ... welcome to CS :) Personally Ive run with Optimax exlusively for ages and it does make a difference since (a) it hurts your wallet negatively but (b) it helps your MPG positively ;)

Have heel and toed (well sidefooted) since I was a lad ... my first car needed double declutching on occasion too. I defo sidefoot when Im changing down at pace in the 172 ... easy to do ... tho dont over do it since K-Tec once warned me that <insert something technical to do with followers...

Ive been contemplating V666 WKD. Obviously V6 WKD is owned by somebody else ... but Im not copying honest ;) I think the 666 and WKD go together well and itll be on a V6 (hopefully if I ever get a delivery date). That said I then go into "its only a number plate and thats a lot of money you...

Unfortunately your insurance WILL go up, even tho youre not claiming thru them :( You (a) had to tell them as per the ANY accidents in last 3 years bit of policies (and if you hadnt they could have voided your insurance if they found out) and (b) since you "caused" the accident theyll see you as...

#1 - VW Polo - 1977 - GAA 104S. Was my parents, then my sisters, then mine, then I gave it to the wife when her first car (Talbot Sunbeam - no Lotus engine tho) blew up. Through its lifetime the car was written of twice ... never badly damaged, just because it wasnt worth repairing. Did about...
