Dont think there is much in it to be honest :) after owning both - id say its easier to extract the performance from the clio in terms of handling and power.

The bottom end has gone on the 106 - its having a new engine fitted on saturday though ready for harewood on sunday :D

The rallye died today! - the bottom end went and now its seized! ooops!

Me too - we ran my dads bosses for 18 months! I loved that car - they howl like an f1 car wooo :D

Cheers for the comments about the pics, was a good run out :) had a good time!

This is still my favourite of all time 355 Ferrari http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbP2cPL41CM Also this sounds rather fruity... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB3K3uZhfQM

- Wheels need a refurb - Geometry needs doing (booked in at ABP for fast road setup :) ) - I have an addiction to vtec See how reliable the jap machine works out!

I had an R27 and in my opinion its prob one of the most capable hot hatches out there. It really has to be driven hard to appreciate the chassis though. A quick drive in one wouldnt be enough to decide on it.

Cheers for the comments :)

Its not as good as the R27 - what I expected but I got it as a money saving exercise really. The R27 is probably the best hot hatch I have driven, I can see why people think initially they aren't as fun as the 172/182s but when you really push on they come alive - the limits are just higher...

Ok well I was on here briefly with a 172 PH2 which I sold to buy a 197 F1, now ive got an EP3 CTR - thought id post a few pics I took lastnight :) Since getting the car I have bought a set of genuine honda mats, put a supersprint straight through b pipe on and a magnex back box (chav I know...

Ive seen that car in ibiza last year :)

Its £80 per event entry - you need to be a member of the BARC (which is £35 I think) also you need a national b speed license (£30 ish?). Then you just need to turn up in a car with a timing strut and the ignition marked up with "on" and "off" and some overalls / helmet.

Cheers - im after getting a new lens soon too so hopefully will achieve some better results then.

Some pics here I took at Harewood Hillclimb last weekend http://www.flickr.com/photos/playtoymotorsport/sets/72157606564231017/ Nick

Thought id share my pics from Oulton Park as there is some Clio content! :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/playtoymotorsport/sets/72157606499670259/ Nick

I can see that road from my bedroom window :D I love it!

Yep thats it - this is in the same car park believe it or not!

Memwith hill in the bg on some of those? i use that same car park for pics :)

Car is looking good Anni B! my rb went today :(

The only time it would catch you out would be when your out of the power band, the golfs pull welll from very low down! but def not quicker than the 172!

Looks awesome! :)

Ok cool let me know if your still interested then, I dont do many miles so itll only have done 8/9k then Nick

Whenever really, im not in a rush to sell but would sell now if you wanted one now - its not advertised anywhere at the moment.

There you go! thats it...

Well if you decide you want one let me know, its as new, tyres arent even particulary warn, got 5000 odd miles to go till its first service. not one mark on it

Yeah mine! although im not completely sure want to sell it, great car, just I dont like having all my money tied up in it. Let me know if your interested!

I know where there could be a nice RB 197 R27 with 6500 miles, 57 plate, climate control, bi xenons and cornering lights etc for 13k ;) Nick

I can only dream of that kind of mpg with my r27! Im averaging 26.5 mpg, and thats mostly being careful! My main journey to work is a 7 mile trip on back roads, so not ideal for fuel economy. Ive been trying to short shift this week to see if I can raise the average but its not looking great...

Think your right about what you say, however the 197 offers the thrills, when you start to really push it, it comes alive and I find it better to drive on these roads than my 172. Both good cars at the end of the day!
