Im always happy to assist these up and coming young drivers.

He spent all day refering to my car as a one litre Clio!

There are lots of RenaultSport brochures at the dealer in Telford. They are full of blue and yellow articles of clothing apparently designed by a colour-blind drug-addict. Im sure the Renaultsport cufflinks wont affect your warranty, but the golf umbrella looks a bit dodgy to me - Id stick with...

Matt - when you got your 15.3 did you change into 4th? I notice your TS was 88.8 which is identical to mine when I ws bouncing off the limiter. These vids are great - makes such a difference being able to hear the commentary.

Maybe hed like to come to Donington Park with us next month for some practice. Dan Eaves, you have mail.

Yeah thats right. I tried both ways. My fastest time of the day (15.4) was achieved by letting the engine bounce off the limiter in 3rd for the last 50 yards. I suspected that if I changed into 4th Id lose time. Anyhow, I tried changing into 4th a few 100rpm before the green light on the next...

No, not shafted, thats the standard price for an oil & filter change at a main dealer. Mine felt better too after the same treatment at the same mileage. Im sure it was all in my head though.

My run against the Rover 220 turbo from inside the car - in case you didnt catch it on the other thread: http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/Drag.mpghttp://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/Drag.mpg 4Mb!!

Apart from making your car go slower, it shouldnt be a problem.

Great stuff Matt!!!

A hell of a lot if the Clio Williams is any guide.

Cabs are great in the summer. We have a yellow Megane, and whilst theyre not exactly uncommon, you still get plenty of stares!

Blimey Tony aint they got that car of yours right yet??

Good question Dash. I guess my initial reaction would be - dont knock it until youve tried it. I wasnt really bothered about the drag-racing thing at the weekend, I went more for the social stuff. Once Id had a couple of goes I realised what all the fuss was about - its really addictive! I...

LOL imagining my father-in-law at York with a big Cliosport logo on his 1.4 Alize! As for the 1.2 - what the lady wants the lady usually gets!

Vals dad has a 1.4 16v and it really goes if you give it enough revs. Cant help thinking that the Clio Extreme 1.2 16v is amazing value though. OK it helps a lot if you like blue interiors, but I reckon its quality for the price.

Oh dear Matt - I was looking forward to seeing those too. Lets see whether tesco do the same to me then - heres a clip of my run against the Rover 220 Turbo taken from the on-board ClioCam http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/Drag.mpghttp://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/Drag.mpg
