Im with you on this...having had a 306 for 5 years with air/climate control, automatic wipers etc., and then gone to a new shape Mondeo with its heated seats, heated windscreen, global window closing, aircon and so on...what do I miss the most since Ive had the CUP?
A stereo I can hear at 100...
I think its cheaper because the insurance companies view you as less likeley to take a risk, when its not just you wholl be inconvenienced if you have an RTA, its the named driver too.
Adding my wife to mine dropped it from £600 to £398!
Well, the standard number plate font used for the 1s could be interpreted as either an L, or I or 1 so its down to how the reader sees it.
Me...I think it says Clio Cup ;)
Im registered for the DVLA auction tomorrow, so by this time tomorrow, I should know if Ive got what Im after...Im just hoping not too many people have registered or are looking for the plate Im interested in, so as to keep the demand/price down to reasonable levels.
What am I after...C110 CUP :)
Daipac - me and my moggie have that exact same conversation, most nights, 10 mins after I get home. Hes up on the bonnet straight away revelling in the Renault warmth. I almost broke out my airsoft springer the other day to persuade him otherwise :@ !
For me, the ownership experience thus far...
It took me 8,000 miles and 3 months before I stopped sneaking a peek out of the window at it before I went to bed every night :oops:
"...youre not looking at that f***ing car again are you...?", or "...its only a car after all..."
When will she learn???
...believe your trip computer...42 miles to go my arse!
P***ing rain, howling wind, no coat, and already running late it just died at 85mph, outside lane. Hazards on, cut across front of an HGV, and managed to coast to the slip road without getting rear-ended by 250,000 cans of Heineken.
No...
I practiced purposefully locking up and releasing just to get a feel for what comes through the pedal.
From that practice, I feel comfortable with them now. At times, if Im well clear with no-one behind me, Ill brake as hard as I can without locking the wheels to keep up with how the feel...
Bought a Focus and Mondeo last year and in both cases the dealer chucked the keys at me and said "take it home so your wife can see it" (which meant a total of about 90 mins each time). It was an independant dealer though, not an official Ford one.
Id say the drive you got was pretty sh**!
...almost crunched this morning.
Mini-roundabout...bugger all coming...and going less than 10mph...understeered like I was on...well...ice oddly enough...straight towards the kerb...but the front bit at the last minute and it pulled round nicely.
Sh*t myself, bearing in mind all the other...
Not sure which one youll need but this is everything off of my standard Cup ECU barcode label;

Hope that helps...?
Hed end up sending you a counterfeit cheque for more than the agreed sale value, saying that you could keep half the difference if you release the car before you get confirmation the cheques cleared.
Of course, the cheque is never gonna clear...
Im not worried about life, cost, or even grip levels...its what they do to the feel of the car.
I want to make sure that the "adjustability" and feedback is preserved...
No ones got a full set on a Cup then I take it...?
