I'd imagine they stole it because it was easy to steel. No security, easy to start. I guess joy riders arn't too picky.

Pound for pound the 182 is the better option IF all you care about is performance. If you want a car that is sensational to look at and to drive and leaves you grinning from ear to ear after every drive then pound for pound the V6 is the much better option. As for straight line speed, the V6...

Nice driving, though far too aggressive for an open trackday. If you had driven that close to the back of my car after having almost crashed into me I would have got straight out of your way and given you the bird as you overtook.

I waved at you from my yellow V6 on Xmas Day near to Westminster.

Weird - my last car was a limited edition Fiat Coupe and I now own an acid yellow V6. Not mine in the pic though.

I spotted a yellow 182 in a BP garage in Newbury at the weekend. I was in my yellow V6 and we obviously spotted each other. I would have said hi but you were too good looking :)

My V6 takes ages to get warm. I can actually drive the car 100 or so miles down the motorway without the engine ever reaching normal temperature. I know that the gauge is right because the air coming out of the heater is also cold / luke warm. When the car is stationary and isn’t being...

They were all fitted with a tracker. However, for it to be initialised you have to join up with Tracstar (or a spelling similar to that). When I bought my car I was given the opportunity to pay £195 for a lifetimes membership. I declined as I would rather my car was not returned if stolen.

Ah and another thing. Your welcome to come to the V6 meet next Sunday - I'll be happy to take you (or your missus) for a test drive. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1145406#post1145406

The V6 is an amazing car. The only dissapointing aspect is the performance. It is only marginally faster than a 172 / 182 and I doubt that you would notice any performance difference between a mk1 V6 and a mk 2 (any extra bhp is cancelled out by extra weight). I bought mine 4 months ago...

I saw a Blue V6 passing through Basildon on Saturday (about 2p.m.) We tried to catch up with you in my friends Fiat Coupe but unfortuantely the traffic was to bad.

I don't know any of the background to this vid - I just found it on another car forum. The Clio does well at the start but I guess he should have taken more care in the wet... I wonder if he was able to claim of his insurance? http://media.putfile.com/donningtoncrash44

A friend of mine filmed the run - I'll get him to email the clip to me and then I shall host.

60ft times were generally mid 2.1secs

I spent today at the Pod (hi to those Cliosport members that I met). I did several runs and everytime I got the book figure of 14.6 secs. No matter how hard I launched (3K - 4.5K rpm) I never could get lower. Has anyone managed to get lower in a standard, unstripped V6? A vid of one...

Personally I would only consider modding the engine or suspension. Changing the wheels or adding 'bonnet vents' is just plain stupid on a car that already looks this good.

Sounds good to me .

I suggest that you come to the V6 meet being held on the 20th November. I'll happily take you for a ride in my mk2 and I'm sure that someone will do the same in their mk 1. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=31918&page=1

I've not driven a mk 1 but every review I have ever read about the car has said that in comparison to the mk 2 it is a handful. Whilst people say that the mk 1 is more entertaining, I would personally prefer a car that won't bite you in the ass. My mk 2 handles amazingly. In my opinion...

I did get beaten by the Focus . However, that Focus was NOT standard. It managed a 13.5 1/4mile and that was with a very poor 2.7 60 ft time.

Well I took the car to Renault and they hooked it up to their diagnostic machine. It showed no faults relating to the way the car came up to temperature so I guess I'll have to accept that it is ambient temperature related. I'm still not convinced though... I did however ask the same...

A short vid of me getting ready for and attending the Pod. I'm afraid that my editing is not up to much. Unfortunately, the clip of me actually racing ends before I finish as the guy using the camera ran out of battery. http://www.southimports.com/random/v6pod.mpg

Nice vids - however, I think you should have taken the time to remove your number plates before you released them. If the vids ever get downloaded by a police officer then I suspect you'll do some jail time for racing at 140mph+

My car (V6 mk2) normally takes about 5 minutes to get up to temperature i.e. half way up the scale. However, I took the car to Santa Pod yesterday and now suddenly my car is taking about 25 minutes to get up to temperature. Has something gone wrong or is the slightly colder weather to blame?

I havent driven one, but all the reviews think that they are spot on. However, for the money that you have to spend youd only be able to afford the 2.7 which is even slower than the V6.

2nd Choice - BMW Z4 3.0

I should have enough space to host. You could either send me a CD or I could talk you through uploading the files to my web page?

1 second equates to about 1 car length on a 0-60 run. That simply isnt enough to be noticed. Furthermore, to get a 0-60 run of 5.8seconds requires the clutch to be dumped - how often would you be that bruttle? Anyway, Im trying to organise a meet for V6s in October. See here...
