for some repairs, and ive just picked up an Astra 1.7 diesel estate in a nice grey colour as a hire car. Talk about power and style.......its got fook all!!! lol

By a mini cooper at a roundabout. Bloke got out was really sorry said hes got an allergy and keeps coughing. His foot slipped off the brake and hit the corner of my back bumper (Cooper auto). Gutted but in a way has done me a favor as had quite a big chip on my bumper. Sounded loud though!!

that the Clio 172 cup is faster than the 210 bhp Cooper S works. I found this out on Sunday!!! He He He!! Must admit it did look nice though!!

I pulled up next to a 182, nice set of 17 inch rims personalised plate. He looked over, then looked away. I went off the lights then obviously saw it was a cup and went himself. I saw him indicate to go into a pub so I pulled in to, thought him might want a quick chat (as you do I suppose)...

One of the rubber grips on my steering wheel looks like someone has taken a knife to it and cut it to bits. God knows how its happened at all. Do you think i could get this sorted under warrenty? As I bet it would cost about £40 otherwise!!

172s in the Maidstone recently. Going home last night I had a black 172 behind me and a Cup one car infront. Today I had a silver 172 behind me. Why do you get excited when you see another one around? or is it just me? Anyone else from the area? Rus

M3 CSL!! One of my directors in our Luton office who previous had a 360 stadale has just picked up the M3 and knows how much me and one of the other lads in the office is into our cars. He took me to an appointment about 20 mins away and all I can say is WOW! Pure smooth power, supurb semi...

Im so tempted by this offer at the moment http://www.virgincars.co.uk/newcars2.aspx?CID=16802http://www.virgincars.co.uk/newcars2.aspx?CID=16802 Its not an import either. How can you lose if wanted to keep it for a year and sell it on?

Not sure if this has been posted before but still good for everyone to know. There is a recall on 172s at the moment. This is due to a knocking sound under accelaration (which I have) which could possibly be the drive shaft or engine mounts. I would advise you all speak to your local...

Was coming to work this morning and had a row with some old git in a BMW!! All he had to do was let me in. I was indicating to go in the right hand lane, and I even thanked him as I thought he was going to let me, but NO he carried on going. He then starts shouting abuse at ME as if its my...

Why is this better? I use it but dont know why. I just assume the more expensive the better!! :p

Santa Pod on the 18th July? Lets get all the clio sport people together and the other owners that come on here i.e scoobys, type r, 106 gtis, VTSs etc etc and solve all the disagrements with a 1/4 mile sprint!! I know im confident!! im sure the other sport guys are?? :devilish:

with 168 to171bhp per ton!! I dont think there is anything in its class that can match that apart from a Pulsar GTiR. Not suprising how many things we catch out on the roads really is it? People are amazed when you tell them its a 2.0 litre engine in a small car. VA VA VOOM!!! :D

I use to have a mini cooper and have just put a thread on the Mini2.com website about the clio basically being better. Fancied a bit of fun as its a friday afternoon. Keep a look out...

Took mole out for a spin in the cup on Friday, and I think he said he went out with mark266 in his williams as well the same night. Forgot to ask if he thought there was much difference between the two? By the way smart plate on the Williams mark266!! Rus

Which episode the Clio 182 is on Top Gear? Everytime it comes on im hoping they say its going to be on there, and I think it should put a few things to rest i.e how quick it is compared to a Civic Type R (if the Stig has tested it that is) and Scooby etc

After 5 Days without the Cup i finally got it back yesterday with the body work sorted (quality job!!), I was driving a new shape fiesta 1.6 in the meantime, and I forgot just how quick the 172 is. Has anybody else been without theirs for a few days, driven something else then been amazed when...

Dropped my car off Saturday for them to start repair after my insidant of reversing into a skip!!! After driving my old dears new shape fiesta just cant wait to get it back for the power and looking new again!!!:)

The Cliosport website could somehow get the 172 Cup on Topgear and get the stig to take it round the track and see what time it gets!! Maybe one of the moderators could send a letter in and see what sort of response we get? Just an idea [Edited by cupking on 10 May 2004 at 11:11am]

When a girl asks what car you drive and you say a Clio 172, they never seem to have a clue what it is. I dont even bother mentioning the cup bit as that would confuse them even more!!

I was reversing my car off the drive last night, and turned to go up the road which I dont normally do, and didnt see a skip behind me (for what reason I dont know!!) and managed to put the edge of it through my back window, put a big crease in the boot, and scratch the bumper!! Im going to find...

a K&N Induction Kit fitted to either a Standard 172 or Cup? Just wondered if theyre worth having really, more for the sound rather than performance. Cheers :cool:
