The "guest" parking bays in our Close are too tight to get the V6 in easily given its "renowned" turning circle ;).
I can second that. You could have nearly sold the 172 to Fubar by the...

The bricks dont quite match on your extension.
So Day isnt on the list for a ride now given that comment ;) ... but Fudgey and Sawa (and Mike172 and MB) are definitely on it :D
(And yes the bricks dont quite match if you look very...

Looks fantastic mate. I will look out for it in the car park i the morning! :D
Nik ... got a little bit of time in my schedule for tomorrow around lunchtime ... Ill ping you ;)
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.

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...

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...

PMSL :D
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!
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 :)

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!
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.
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 ;)
