No bandwagons here. I drove it and just wasn't impressed by it. It's lost the rawness of the older Renault Sport cars and that was what made them so special. I'd never go as far as to say that it's a "bad" car, just there are better options out there in my view. I don't think it has anything...

Well, I admire your dedication. I'll leave mine to the Eastern Europeans lol.

Men should only be seen in actual Rangers Rovers in my view. All the others are for women lol.

That does look lovely, but isn't it a daily driver? Not sure I could be bothered with all that on a daily lol.

I think the problem for many people is how the car feels, not how fast it is. All modern hot hatches are quick. Arguing about which accelerates the fastest or which can do the best lap time is almost pointless. As someone said above, no mere mortal can get the best from it, so debating tenths of...

Looks bob on that. Would you like to give me the spoiler yet?

Looked ace when you had it - nice wheels with sensible tyres. Looks blinkin' awful now, typical VW idiocy with the wheels and ride height. Shame, looks a lovely car otherwise.

Yes they're really good fun. Mine seems to terrorise much more expensive machinery and it hasn't had an awful lot done to it. In fact, you should buy it, it's a waste that it's just sitting there gathering dust lol.

Hello! I bought a 172 Cup for the exact same purpose, just for some cheap thrills and it's amazing fun. You won't get anything more capable for the money. Mine is currently just sat in the garage now though. Can't really justify using it, but not sure I want to sell it either!

I read a quite interesting article in Practical Performance Car magazine the other day, written by Dave Walker of Emerald fame. He basically said they're not really suited to car engines so are best avoided if possible. A lot of people in other tuning circles seem to use them and rate them, but...

The 6 definitely has a nicer interior and is a nicer car to live with, but the looks of the MK5 steal it for me. Bit more aggressive.

Yeah I know what you mean. I remember going to shows in around 2003-2007 and there were simply hundreds of Zetec-S Fiestas around. The ZSOC was nearly always the biggest stand at any Ford show. Seem to be hardly any left now though, the rot has got to them. Fun little cars though. I am a total...

Oops! Shame, looks a really nice car. Easy to make a mistake there though. I spun on my first ever lap and I thought I was going really slowly. Luckily didn't hit anything though.

Nothing too glamorous, just some phone snaps I took while wandering around. For those not in the know (it is a Renault forum after all), Ford Fair is the biggest Ford show in Europe and is held at Silverstone. It's been a few years since I last visited and it's certainly changed a lot. There...

Hello!

Mine has done 135k now and still seems ok. Uses a bit of oil on track but I do kick the crap out of it. Would like to get it on the rollers actually, see what it has left.

If it's only got an air filter and exhaust, I'd save your money, it will be fine.

I drove a 200T at the 'ring and wasn't really very impressed by it. It went ok and handled ok, but it just didn't feel raw and exciting like an older RS Clio. It lacked the "special" feeling. The gearbox wasn't terrible but it wasn't nearly as good as the DSG in my Golf, or even the one in my...

Totally understandable mate. Priorities change for us all in time. Be nice if you could get some pleasure out of it before it goes though. Interested in what you think it is worth though, if you'd like to PM me?

Really hope you fix it and keep it Mark. My favourite car on CS by a stretch and after all your efforts, it would be good if you could enjoy it for a while. Saying that, it would make a nice addition to my collection lol.

V6 for me. If it was one of the Fatty style ones it might be different, but I think the uber long silicone hose on the Ktec one just looks silly.

Sunflower, including the spoiler for me.

Would have been an awesome car with the body mods from the concept car. Still looks too tame as-is.

Bloody hell, what a trip, makes my last one seem easy! Hope you get it sorted soon. I told you I should have gone out in it before you went lol.

Well done Tony!

Those R5s are really cool. The 106 Rallye and that Civic look ace too.

I've seen far worse. At least it has a bit of power too. Terrible listing though.

Those sill stands are monsters! Nice to see someone else rallying a Clio. Would love to convert mine, think it would make a cracking little car for not a lot of money.

Oh definitely not, but it's nice to know it's right, just for nerd factor lol.
