You followed me past Travellors Joy pub and then onto the A130 towards the A127 until you couldnt keep up with the Meg on the straight ;) Nice little play!

I recently made the transition and would definitely recommend it. I have had a 172 and a 172 cup and now have an R26 megane which has the stage 2 remap 260 hp and 330 lbft. The LSD on the R26 is a must have in my opinion the cornering grip is astonishing. Also got recaros same as trophy, climate...

I have very recently 'upgraded' from a 172 to a Meg R26 bought off a previous member from here. Absolute weapon and i am loving every minute of it. Used to have a 172 cup before the FF 172 but the R26 just blows them both out of the water in my opinion. Of course stage 2 remap with forge IC (261...

I wish Adz!! cat do the VX's feel as fast as the figures suggest?

Considered an M3 and Z3M but servicing/running costs will just be too high. I understand the R32 and VXT are completely different but i have some how whittled my choices down to these 2 so far lol. I'm still open to opinions on others that haven't been mentioned though. Thanks for all your...

What was the stage 2 VX like Cat? Are they silly quick cars? Not driven anything quicker than my 172 before really.

Yeah had a look on the vx220 site and they were happy to help. To be honest in terms of practicality the only trips i really do are to rugby training/games and to visit the gf. The most i ever really have in the car is a kit bag and maybe a few bags of shopping if i can be bothered to go. Need...

Thats the problem mate can't decide what to get lol. I am trying to sort out a test drive in a VX to see if i like it. One of my mates used to have an R32 so i know what that is like. Think it will come down to what i like best on the test drives. And no im not interested in a Scooby or Evo like...

Should have also mentioned i am after rear or 4wd cars lol.

My best mate has an ST and nice a car as it is, i dont want to copy him and there are so many on the roads i would like something a bit rarer.

Looking at around 10-12k really. Im keen for the Vx but the fact it is so bare inside is holding me back. Mind you i coped with the cup a few years back and that doesnt have too much inside either lol.

Thinking of changing the 172 soon due to starting a new job. Was set on a Vee but i have decided i want to move away from Renault not because the Clio have been bad as it has been awesome fun but i just want something a bit different. I won't need the car for commuting so it will only be used...

Haha yep i sure will, i am sure their council will want to get money from me if there is any chance for them to benifit! Ah well was an easy mistake to make...

Just found this quote off a motoring website. "In the case of other minor offences related to driving a vehicle, but not involving licence endorsements (e.g.. Not wearing a safety helmet or driving the wrong way in a one way street), a FPN may be given to...

I mean until the fine drops through the post i wont worry too much but was mainly wondering if it will be points as well which would be my first ones so not too much of an issue. Might just have been a CCTV camera for the path or shops or something? Will just have to wait!

While driving in Greenwich last night in an area i don't know very well looking for a shop, i accidently pulled into the entrance of a one way street facing the wrong way. Im annoyed at myself for doing so, but i just saw the place i was looking for and pulled into the road next to it without...

I'm in the same boat i just cant get the thought of a V6 out of my head. Now also considering a VX220 turbo which isn't helping me decide. I think until i've actually test driven them both or been in them i wont know if i want either of them. Might hate them both when it comes to driving them...

I've gone full circle, originally i was thinking just use the 172, then the last few weeks been looking into getting a cheap second car and now i've gone back to thinking the 172 again haha! Maybe i'll just use public transport so i don't have to decide anything.

Well probably about 45 miles of the 60 is motorway and is usually not too bad for traffic so i guess 40mpg out of the 172 is possible. Understand what people say about second car costing more in the short term though. Guess only way to find out is run the 172 for a few weeks and if im not...

Im starting to think a diesel is the way to go as well to be honest. Hoping to change the 172 for a V6 255 after a few months anyway so i reckon a cheapo 306 for daily drive might be the best thing to do.

Just got my first job since graduating from university and will be commuting 60 miles a day when i start. I am really struggling to work out what to do it terms of what car to use for the daily drive. My current options are: 1) Use my 172 which i am aware is gonna cost £££'s in...

Just finished rugby training at Southend and i pulled out behind you in the industrial estate. Couple of lady's in the car. Think you turned off into the fire station? Seen a cliosport every day in Essex now too many around starting to lose its appeal to me. V6 next i think :D.

Saw you pulling out from road to Wakering. Lovely clean motor, definitely confirmed my want for a blue vee as my next car.

Haha sorry dude, if i had known it was a fellow cliosport owner who was with the broken down bus i would have stopped! Anyways got to run, but if you happen to see me out when your in the 197 make yourself known as will I. Take it easy, Steve.

Yeah im aware you wasnt in your car, thats why i was saying its a shame i didnt see you while you were in it! lol. You in the O2 area often? I see your from Surrey? Im normally only in Greenwich at weekends to see the missus otherwise im in Essex.

Yeah cant complain too much about that! I remember seeing the bus, shame i didn't see your car, was looking at getting a 197 cup as my next car but a V6/R32/Evo is nagging in my mind! You enjoying it?

That was me picking up the girlfriend. Cant believe i was spotted for only the second time in 4 years yay!! I swear i must be invisible the rest of the time. Was you on the bus then, bad luck, but thats to be expected on London public transport. Had you been at the O2 for something? Oh and the...

Booked in with Mark. Cheers guys.

Unfortunately dont have access to that thread i take it BBPT have gained themselves a bad reputation then? Anyone know roughly how much a 84k service will be with Mark Fish? Only a minor service needed.

Anyone know of any good places to get the 172 serviced in Essex. Obviously dont want to take it to Renault so any opinions or ideas are welcomed. I was looking into BBPT in Chelmsford can anyone recommend them or any other garage. Thanks.
