any cliosport members in brighton sussex area?

aaronc · Jan 25, 2004

Yep, live in brighton & horsham, A27 is my hunting ground lol

where you from mate?

renaultsport83 · Jan 25, 2004

must see u down madera drive sometime then? sown there most nights!

aaronc · Jan 25, 2004

not really into the madera drive thing to be honest, not my cup of tea lol

however went through there one night on the way to the cinema, and a bmw raced me up the strip, he nearly took me out near the end cos i beat him, the girlfriend certainly wasnt amused.

renaultsport83 · Jan 25, 2004

they never are mate, my bird hates it. its a nice stretch though! i wanna get a cup when i am 21 or 22, are they as good as people say?

TheCake · Jan 25, 2004

Yup. They Rock.

aaronc · Jan 25, 2004

Yes they are quick nimble cars which will outperform most larger performance cars on the road.

However i test drove one and didnt feel what i thought i was gonna experience. When your so used to the 16v/williams feel the cup doesnt seem as hardcore and the steering felt a little to light for my liking.

TheCake · Jan 25, 2004

aaronc youre spot on mate. Yes its nimble, quick/agile and can worry much bigger performance cars, but the handling does feel very light. Its good though when you get used to it. Hehe!

ian h · Jan 25, 2004

i go to uni in chichester, so quite often on the 27, just westside of the road!! ill keep eyes peeled though!!! cheers

p.s. which one was buck barn?

Tim172 · Jan 30, 2004

I live down near Worthing but travel up the A24 to Horsham everyday, havent seen any other Cliosport stickered cars so far, although I did see a Willy at Buck Barn once and a Cup on Long Furlong yesterday.

Gonna be driving my Southern Water Vivaro for a while though as my Clios off to Swan Renault in Chichester for crash damage repair (insurance job)

renaultsport83 · Jan 30, 2004

hi lads. well im live in brighton and have to travel the very short distance to portslade every day through all those frigging speed cameras! i havent got a cliosport sticker yet but i will have soon. look out for a black dynamique with tinted windows and lexus lights, also have k-tec grill and sport badge. soon to get 172 when i turn 21. oh yeah!

Tim172 · Jan 30, 2004

I think it was a Willy, had all the badges and suchlike, but that was last year. Havent seen either of your Clios guys, would remember those wheels!

Mines a basic MK2 Grande in red, plate Y*7 VLC, Ill keep an eye out for everyone, know Ill see another Cliosporter sooner or later!

Have to say, the Vivaro isnt bad for a replacement, love that turbo

McShug · Jan 30, 2004

Helen and I live in Eastbourne, but have been known to venture out a bit.

Have seen a few 172s in and around the area but none with stickers.

We know the people in Russels in Eastbourne quite well and get them to hand out flyers with all their new sales of clios
