Racing blue for me! Plus Stripes! :D (only just realised the Lovely lighter blue was called racing - I have been calling it Arctic :confused:) So... Racing all the way!

I agree.... I drive 1.2 clio on weekdays, then hop in the 16v and it really is a scary difference in performance (and im a careful driver too! lol). Im still getting used to it after 3 months.

I would b feeling pleased with myself if i was you! Sounds like your going to make yourself some money! Key is, start going quiet on the subject and theyll soon start thinking your having 2nd thoughts, then take the cash! :D

I drove a 1.2 8v for 3 years before i got my 16v. I have had my valver for over 3 months now and im still getting used to it. I drive it very carefully, and am alot more experienced due to driving a slower car before it. If your 17 and get in a valver, your more than likely going to get over...

182 at 17? Pure madness! Go steady fella... very quick car for a new driver Tom

Blimey a 16v at 17?? Some companies said I had to be 21 to insure mine I got a good deal in the end. Im 20. over £2,500 is ridiculous to pay for insurance! But if you have the money and are willing to pay it, then thats your choice. As for it sounding about right, yeah i spose thats what u...

Yeah mine flips purple in the sun (monaco) class colour that! (N plate phase 2 valver) Tom

Im dreading getting any rust on mine! I dont let it get dirty! lol Id want to pay for a new wing if it happened on mine (personally) Some of the prices are varying on here! £400? £190? (touch wood i dont get any!)

I only drive mine on weekends and sometimes on an evening. But normally get around 250 + (prob more to be honest) from a tank. (I go easy mind :oops:) Tom [Edited by TomS on 03 December 2004 at 10:37pm]

I see loads of 172s and 182s around Bristol!! Literally a couple every journey longer than half n hour!

This is what I do. I always just cruise at 65-70 on the motorway in the valver. Nice feeling. And like you say, the looks you get are nice. :cool: Im very careful with my 16v, when you put your foot down..... vrrrrooooom! that noise is absolute class. Tom

Most van drivers are tw*ts You get the good ones and then the majority are rubbish Bit like cars really :confused: Tom

I got a 1.2 Oasis which is a special edition (wlthough i think there are a few to choose from) RT is a good en too

Deffo not a girls toy though! ;) Gota get one!

Hi Matt Im not entirely sure where Berkshire is! lol :oops: Castle Coombe is a nice circuit for a track day Great choice of clio by the way! Tom

Wheels yeah? I think anthracite looks class But i would keep the standard wheels, they look great. Tom?

I was never too sure about the back of the Megane, but after looking at a few pics, and your avatar pic, it really does look nice! Tom

That will look class fella! Great choice

Absolute Quality! :D Im going to get one now! lol

Surely the meg 225 will be attracting alot of attention?

From what I have been reading it was mate :D One mag gave it stars for each sesction i.e. interior, handling etc. The only one that let it down was interior noise lol one quote was "Renault have achieved a new class standard for civilised speed" Also goes onto say that road...

Yeah I have seen the clio turbo owned by malice. Pm him and Im sure hell help you out. Tom

Yeah, im going to try and find one now! lol will let u know if i do! tom

Mine would be 1) Clio 16v 2) Clio Williams 3) 5 GTT 4) Golf gti mk 1 5) 106 gti very tough to narrow it down to 5 though!

In one of the mags, it shows a 85 yr old lady (ish) that was an ex race driver. She wanted to change cars and she tested the corrado vr6 and a red valver....... Yep, she chose the valver! :D Handling etc round B roads it really shined! Havnt heard much in terms of comparisons between golf...

I have two mags from 1992 and 1994 that review the valver Ones is the a6v vs the rs1800 fiesta (valver comes out trumps!) The other is a really good review Tom

Not a daft plan at all Toypop I prob need to explain the situation a bit better.. Basically, my sis needs to save a bit more cash. The company her husband works for can get a very good deal on some new cars (the clio being one) but the car would be leased (for a year). Then after that year...

Shed want something quick knowing my sis! lol The dci sounds really nice, altho i bet the 65hp one is nippy too. cheers for your feedback Tom

I see your point, but she is only selling the ZS to save herself some money for the time being (she can get a really good deal on new clios) The dci is sounding a great option She doesnt do loads of miles but economy is a good thing when trying to save cash. She would prob go for a 182 after...

Yeah i think well go to renault and get a test drive of both. I have heard good things about the dcis
