    Help me buy a Clio 1*2......

    Thanks for your feedback. I don't want to wait for more money as to be honest, I already own three cars but looking for something small and fun. The only way I can justfy a fourth car to myself is to keep it cheap :D It looks like a 172 is the way to go. I guess a mint Ph2 172 is towards £3k...

    Help me buy a Clio 1*2......

    Hi all, I am looking to buy a 1*2 Clio hence joining here. I have read loads to try and understand all the options and what I should be looking for but to be honest, the more I read (incl. the guides here), the more confused I am getting :coffee: I have noticed that there are some real...

    182 Cup V Clio Williams

    OK, I understand that. I thought Chris meant they were better in terms of dynamics etc Saying that, Although the 1 may always be at the top end of Williams values, I would have though all (1,2 and 3) would appreciate as they are all rare-ish cars these days

    182 Cup V Clio Williams

    Thanks for the excellent summary Chris. My heart is telling me a Williams but my head is saying a newer 1*2 would be a better overall ownership proposition. Tough one as I don't want to spend £3k to £5k for an excellent one. Ideally I want to spend £2k with maybe a few hundred spare to spend...

    182 Cup V Clio Williams

    Thanks Coops. At this point in time, given an 8 year old 1*2 or an 18 year old Williams, which would you run ? I see you are no longer running a Williams but two (172 and 182) more modern clios so maybe that answers the above question.

    182 Cup V Clio Williams

    I quite like the idea of having a rarer car but the upkeep of a Williams when used as a daily does worry me a little. I went and saw one today and the bodywork was fantastic, no rust on arches, tailgate etc. Looked underneath (as much as I could), the sills seem fine but there were signs of...

    182 Cup V Clio Williams

    Hmm, definitely something to think about. Drive a classic, iconic car with little depreciation (Williams) Vs a more modern but still fun car (172/182)

    182 Cup V Clio Williams

    Thanks for the quick feedback. It sounds like if I found a decent Williams that was rust free, driving it as an everyday car would invite rot problems - is that the main reason why it wouldn't be suitable as an everyday car ? I thought they benefited, mechanically at least, from being driven...

    182 Cup V Clio Williams

    Hi guys, I know I am resurrecting an old thread but in my research on 172/182 cars I have started thinking about a Williams. I always liked them and quite fancy one now. I had a couple of questions: - Can a Williams still be used as an everyday car given their age, assuming it is looked...

    Alex's new car - Mx5 Eunos

    That's a nice MX5 you got yourself there Alex, really like it. They are great cars. I used to own an R-Limited and I have to say that I still miss it. Enjoy. By the way, here is a photo of mine from when I owned it...

    London Calling

    Thanks for the feedback. I don't suppose there are any reputable specialists nearer North London ? If I get one, I want to be able to use a garage that knows what they are doing, won't rip me off and has a good rep with other owners.

    London Calling

    Thanks for the quick (:eek:) and initial feedback guys :cheers: I am not, unfortunately, looking to by both a Clio and Megane :D I am looking to buy one or the other and trying to work out which one is the best for me. I have heard the Clio is much more fun and I like the idea of having a...

    London Calling

    A big hello to Clio owners here. I am currently contemplating picking up a Renaultsport Clio and wanted to do some research first. My understanding is that it is a phenomenal car with great fun and handling. At the moment I am a little confused by the different variations eg 172, 182 etc ...
