two letters one inviting me to a driving day at Cobham (I think) and another to the motor show. A list of extras you could buy. I think thats about it.

Before i pop it on eBay I wondered if any V6 aficionados would be interested in a Hardback book and small model of the V6 Clio (c. 85mm long). I bought a V6 Clio back in the day and Renault gave these to me. I have some letters and even Motor Show tickets from the period. So would really suit a...

Cheers r-jay

Ah! Thats not too bad - I live in Stratford. Would you be willing to do my car? How much would you charge? Feel free to email or PM. Cheers Ben

Oh yes. How else can you do a decent doughnut! ;)

Something else missing on the V6 - a LSD.

I have no intention at all of knocking the V6. I love the thing. And yes if I was not so short of money right now I would definately consider buying one. However, I was not knocking the V6 when I said in my experience the Trophy would be faster than a Mk1 V6. Also let me add again I have no...

I did 1000 miles at the Ring last week, on top of the 2000 laps I have already done in the last 10 years. I have no doubt that a Trophy would beat a Mark 1 V6. I have not however driven a Mark 2 V6 so I cant be so sure about that. How do the Power to Weight Ratios compare...

Trophy.

500 Trophys will be sold in the UK. the only other country to see them is Switzerland and they only get 25. I test drove one in Stourbridge today. They will sell you a new one for £13500 dead (OTR). Ben

Ok for £12.5k I will buy one. Where do I go?

My 182 went in for a service yesterday (12 months & 9,000 miles £230). I asked the dealer to look into why the car hesitates a bit when it is started from cold. What I mean by hesitates is that the car does not respond to normal, moderate application of power as if something somewhere was...

I spent the winter in Canada and my gf drove mine every 2 or 3 weeks (she claims) and it never missed a beat. Started first time on my return too. But as well as all the normal stuff about oil and rad etc, I have learnt from experience it pays to keep a full tank of fuel. Prevents...

But what are the chances of the MOT inspector knowing the 182 should not be fitted with a towbar? Also - it can just be removed for the MOT.

Thanks guys. Back to the drawing board then. I like the idea of a wreck except I will be driving it about 1000 miles - and to buy a car I could trust would cost quite a bit. Then there is insurance/breakdown cover/ worry, plus the fact that I will miss out on the enjoyable drive in my...

I was planning on towing my R1 to the Nurburgring next month. However I cant find a towbar suitable for the Clio 182 anywhere. Is it possible to fit one? Has anyone else done it? Cheers. Ben

Hooverd mine out yesterday for the first time. Noticed the same thing so I am glad to hear it is normal.:)

That new flash thing does a great job. Can you claim the tax back if you have someone else do it?

I see. Like the R6 idea but I would not trust her blatting round the Ring on that. And she would slow me down! Hmmm. Thinking cap still on.

Has anyone done any towing with their 182? I am off to Germany for 10 days on my bike with my girlfriend and I think I will need more luggage carrying capacity than the R1 can offer. The Mrs will need some wheels when we get there too. The bike weighs around 180 kgs.

Lots of standard features these 182s:)

Well I am 36 - ancient on this forum. I have downgraded from a VXR. My insurance has gone UP! WTF! The car is garaged - good postcode - 9 years NCB and best deal was £500. Crazy money!
