covkid - the showroom guy should have got off his fat ass and found the job sheet for what was done to your car. Honestly, some garages take the piss. I was offered a brew, slice of cake and the Sky remote when I went to pick up a pair of wipers blades for the missuss (then) MR2. Their...

Christ, I miss my turbo in tunnels/fly-overs.... "pppppaaaaarrrrrppppppp.......tschhhhhhhh........pop...pop" ;) Err, back to topic. Sorry, no - it wasnt me! D.

The only speed limiter the 182 has is the absence of a 6th gear ;) D.

Quality pics - they look really good. Liking the wheels on the MG..... That 1st pic was a stroke of genius!!! D.

Ive got a 182 and the wife has her Cooper S. She hates hers though! :cool: Definitely no rivalry in our house and Ive yet to personally see any on the road. She likes the VX220 as a possible replacement, but Id love her to get a V6 Clio. Not that Id argue her getting the VX220 either! D.

Bloody hell m8 - early riser then?! ;)

Yup - me too - noticeably worse when idling from cold though. It had its first splutter-judder-Im almost stalling, session the other day too. :cry: Bloody thing hasnt even done 5,000 miles yet.... Anyone else have the sensation that the clutch feels like its slipping at times? Again, it...

I take it you need special paint? Those things get a lot of heat build-up..... D.

Errrm. Nice colour? D.

And of course, theres the dodgy 182 flash unit to think about. I usually wave as the crap full-beam can be left on, blinding all and sundry for the next half a mile. ;) Of all the RS Clios Ive seen - Ive yet to see a CS sticker in one though...... D.

Shame we cant hear how loud they are on a forum.....! D.

I get a look more response from the older models of Clios - the valvers, Willys, etc. Having said that, a 182 (without Cuppy bits) went straight past me this morning and I ignored him. :oops: My mistake - I didnt think it was a 182 initially, until it was too late... D.

It looks quite well imo.... D.

Those exhausts have to be Photoshopped - surely? :confused: Aside from that, for a 10 year old car, the polished paintwork looks mint. D.

They look really good, if you ask me - suits the car colour too. I dont think they would work so well on a black gold car. Good choice m8 :) D.

I heard that in Greece, your insurance purely went off engine size - rather than mods done to the engine. So a 1.6 16v turbocharged engine car kicking out circa 200bhp would be cheaper than a standard 1.8 16v car. Not sure how true it is, but thats what Ive heard! D.

hey you guys *blushes* i already love it here! *ahem* and i am newly single too by the way! My god...... does she realise what she has just done? :o :D Expect a torrent of PMs come flooding your way now from all the blokes.... D.

Brilliant. I wonder if they watch the in-car footage afterwards to see how close they were to oblivion?! D.

They will be after your Willy soon then - oo-er! ;) D.

I let onto you and you waved back.... :) Didnt catch the reg unfortunately..... D.

Chewy - does yours have a bodykit on it and stuff? Were you at Tescos last week at the lights? I pulled up alongside a green Clio (not sure if it was an RT tho) and the two people in it looked across? D.

Had exactly the same nicked of my GTt - they marked the paint on the first attempt. Replaced it and that too, was nicked a couple of months later. Had some work done on the car and the bodyshop thought they were doing me a favour by fitting another GT badge on the rear and not charging me for...

I was heading from Ashton-side, at the major set of lights on Ashton Moss, heading towards Crowhill. You were at the lights, coming up from the town centre/Sainsburys direction. I was about to let onto you when another bloody Clio pulled up alongside you and blocked my view! :) Anyone on here...

Join the club, m8 ;) D.

Ill be interested in the results - for sure. For those who have never driven just a basic Cooper S (not a Works) the power delivery is a welcome change - the complete opposite of turbo cars. Jains Mini feels heavier and is heavier than my 182. Its low-down surge would be more than caught up by...

I defy any person who dislikes Jap cars to look at those pictures and think "Well, maybe...." They are great. Again, Ive a preference for the Evo, but the Scooby would be a very close 2nd! :cool: D.

Mmmm. Probably not me then m8. Closest I gets to the Hollins area is the Asda at Pilsworth every now and then. Im on the top road between Bury and Rochdale or the M66 roundabout, Jnc 2 on a daily basis though. D.

Ive seen a lot worse. If the exterior didnt have quite so many slats and vents in the bodykit, I think it would look alright! D.

Miserable sod. Burn him at the stake..... D.
