CS@25 25 Years Of ClioSport Section

As ClioSport reaches its 25th Anniversary, we are launching this section to contain threads looking back over memories and significant moments from those 25 years.

If you have any memorable moments from the last 25 years, even better if you have photos or videos to go with them, then please post up in here. It could be a memorable national meet, local area meet, Christmas night out, or just a golden forum thread that you've managed to find.


🎉 🥳 Happy 25th Birthday CS!! 🥳 🎉​

 

[Renny 5]

No other forum or club comes close.

Here’s mine;

Wife and gf thread tbqfh

 

[McGherkin]

Ahh the memories.

Bucket mod
Bbq sauce wheel
Charlie’s beetle
Harbinger’s Evora
Mace’s adventures in nature with hedgehogs
Danny’s tinder adventures
Ron’s gearstick loving lady friend
Christmas laser
And many, many more.

You’re all c***s, but you’re the best c***s. Never stop being CS.

 

[donnylad]

Everyone will be posting pics of there new Puma E soon enough.

 

[Daz.]

Ahhhh when a Mk2 was a futuristic hateful thing scoffed at by valver / willy owners.

 

[Yosemite Sam]

The lost/found dog has to be the highlight of the 25 years. Has to be!!

 

[Speedo Gonzales]

I was 4 years old when this forum was conceived

My takeaways from this place are the friends I have made. Any other time, I would have never crossed paths as they're old enough to be my dad (some are older than my dad)

My first CSF in 2019

Instant calendar feature (didn't bribe @Nik)

Ultimately the clique has probably saved me from self-destruction. I honestly think I may have drunk myself to death during lockdown if it wasn't for a select few mates from here ❤️

 

[DaveDreads]

My life falling to pieces and the club buying me a dog.

What most people don't know is the whip round money kept the bailiffs at bay long enough to setup payment plans and agreements meaning we didn't lose the family home,

My mum and I would have been homeless without this club.

 

[Hixle]

I’ve met lifelong mates from here. Ffs, my most active WhatsApp group is one set up with a few on here 10 years ago!

@Scrooge is one of my best mates and was usher (peace up, A town down etc) at my wedding.

Class place.

 

[Polynesian]

Incredible achievement, well done to everyone behind the scenes that keeps it going and the nice people on the forum. It’s my second time around with a Clio and cliosport after a 12 year gap and I don’t plan on having another gap until I die.

 

[SharkyUK]

When I'm feeling amazing, life is good, and I'm surfing on top of the world... I know I can always come here to return to the depths of despair and depression. Wonderful. It's the third-most single constant variable in my life.

 

[Stiamh-JM]

Damn the forum is 10 years older than @Louis

 

[DaveDreads]

Is there going to be any special 25th anniversary merch to celebrate?

Wouldn't mind an old school sticker for the car and a 25th t-shirt.

 

[riz]

The thought of the The guy who covered his 182 exhaust tips up still cracks me up.

Please can we reopen it a little

Wasn’t there one who put something like twin 5 inch slash cut tips on as well?

Racing blue exploding into Amphasite wheels was one as well.

Oh and photoshop this old grandad out of my image 😂

 

[davo172]

I think its pretty amazing how people have been on here so long even thou most not owned a clio in years but still stay active on here.

Reading old posts threads about how your life there life was then to now.
Highs and lows.

Especially since most forums are dead as f**k and everything gone over to face ache etc.

Just like a big whatsapp group full of good banter but also people who will always helps the best they can with anything in anyway they can if needed.

 

[Ray Gin]

Charlie’s beetle

Was this a different guy to cockney Charlie?

I remember someone having a beetle (iirc) and he photoshopped the car to be really low and he got found out 😂

Different guy and yeah that’s the one.

 

[Ray Gin]

In fact I think it was @Hixle that called him out 🤣

 

[DaveDreads]

That was hilarious, this place used be so much more brutal than it is these days, people just left in shame and never came back.

 

[Steve]

My first clio 172, 04 plate, pic from sale advert back in 2006

Love those wheels 😍

 

[Advikaz]

I still maintain that the “your worst most embarrassing sexual disaster” thread was an absolute worldy

 

[Tighten My Nuts]

I'll never forget how the community rallied round when my 172 Cup was stolen from my driveway.

I'd had it 5 years at that point and it' was as good as part of my family so, all emotional, I set to making a video so I could remember it forever.

Turns out it was found 48 hours later parked up 1/2 mile away 🤣 and we had many more happy miles, trackdays, and not so happy breakdowns.

There's a lot of 2003-2008 events included in here if you've never seen this, uploaded to YouTube 17 years ago!

 

[Nik]

Anyone remember MOFO, he was the guy that said he had several PS3's or something hidden under his bed

[Ol’ Tarby]

[Hixle]

The Megane on 182 wheels and low profile tyres is up there for me.

And the 182 with diesel exhaust tips.

Spinksy

@davo172 ’a giant WhatsApp group’ absolutely nails it!

Yeah I've looked back, MOFO got a free PS3 by signing up to £500 phone contract. And asked people to photoshop his payslips

f**king silly c**t. He deffo didn't like it when I called his Mrs a closet lesbo with Schizophrenia 🤣🤣🤣 Silly c**t lived less than 5 miles from me but never showed up

 

[Hixle]

CSS 2012. @welshname had bought my old ZS from the fella I’d sold it to so was cool to have both cars together.

It’s amazing how Rhys’s style would go on to influence 1000’s of Just Stop Oil protesters 10 years later.

Also amazing how we had Lamar from Kajagoogoo turn up.

Spoiler: Hi

[Clio_fool]

All this place reminds me of is the patio I never got to build. CSF wasn't the same after that fire.
