I liked the popping and banging for about 20secs then it started doing my head in. Nice clear video though, and what Jay said.

That's my old one... It's red but you get the idea.

I agree. I owned (and wrecked) numerous low powered cars during my younger years and still had loads of fun. People assume fun needs to come from Bhp's and it's just not true. Fair play though dude, have fun! :)

Just remove the C L I O.

Don't need details dude!

How come you're not at work anyway? It's not even midnight!

AutoExpress showed photos of the Loch Ness Monster did they not?? I like their interpretation, I think the next gen Clio will be a looker personally.

I've got three complaints regarding the EP3... - Numb electronic steering. - £270 tax and poor MPG. - Numb electronic steering. It's brakes btw. :)

A car is only as good as his driver. I've overtaken plenty of Lotus's (Loti?) on track.

Mine was standard, bar the coilovers, filter, remap, and rollcage! Yes I have a souless Honda which I'm looking to change. Can't complain though, it drives like new without any squeaks or rattles with a lovely gearbox even after 80k miles. Shame it's as interesting as Songs Of Praise.

Regardless of my opinions of the gearbox I'd still have another, nothing else has come so close to ticking all the boxes.

No it's to let you know it's safe to get back in. Lorry drivers do it all the time. I don't know what happens if they don't flash, I always wait for the signal.

To summarise then... 197 = Great car, sh!te gearbox.

I pull out to overtake, then get back in once the oncoming car starts flashing his lights at me. It's tricky to master.

The car was relatively new at the time and the gearbox weakness wasn't commonly known. They claimed that the gearbox was fine and that my driving was to blame, then of course everyone started having the same problem.

Warranty shmarranty, I took my 2yr old 197 to Renault complaining about the gearbox and they told me to f**k off. So I did, and bought a Japanese car.

Fuel consumption for me usually stayed around 22, or 11-12 on a trackday. I'm a d!ckhead though.

For every video I watch I love Chris that little bit more.

Shame you're not a bit nearer dude, I wouldn't mind a closer look at yours tbh!

I bought a brand new 197 and after 38k miles it needed a gearbox. (I did do a few trackdays in it though :o)

The owner is looking to get £1900, which I think is rather optimistic.

Flock off with yer silly jokes! :)

I've just been offered a 2004 182 in blue (Monaco/Arctic?) with 66k miles. It's registered CAT-D and isn't running properly, the owner has taken it to a garage who have told him that the ECU is screwed. The A/C also doesn't work, but apart from this I'm led to believe everything else is okay. I...

I love it. Kudos earned.

I used to think the steering on the 197 was pretty good, as opposed to the EP3's steering being rather numb. My local garage have a Panda 100hp, is there anything I should look out for?

I've been reading up on these as I'm looking for a replacement for the Type-R, and some reviews claim that the electronic powered steering spoils the drive as it's too intrusive and numbs any steering feel. How do you find it?

As I've only been twice as a passenger I'm not sure about the individual expenses, I can find out for you though.

Depends if you do it on a budget or not... I went as a passenger and spent just over £200 all in for three nights.

Sorry, I can't remember registrations but there were some nice 1*2's out on track at Curborough yesterday :)

I love it, I wish I was brave enough to try one! Spotted one at the 'Ring too!
