Anyone who is bored of their 1*2...

If you are bored of your clio sport and thinking of selling and getting something else, here is a better solution that is (in most cases) a lot cheaper!

Rent a Ford Transit for the day!

Seriously! I know it sounds insane, but today I had to rent one to move some furniture about.

It cost me about £40 as I'm only 22, but it was a worthwhile experience on its own as when I got back into my 182 about 20 minutes ago it felt like it was the most amazing car ever!

After slugging around in a diesel that feels gutless (even downhill lol) the clio felt like it was jet propelled, the gearbox felt like it had been engineered to aerospace grade (never thought Id say that about a renault! lol) and the handling just felt superb.

So in summary...

Before you go out and spend £300 odd on a ITG maxogen to put the novelty back into your clio, spend £40 or less driving a sh*te vehicle and you will be overjoyed with the performance of your clio sport!

LOL

 

[Curtis!]

Funny stuff.. honestly.

Why not walk everywhere for a day... save £40, and get back in the clio?

Having your drivers licence revoked is a good solution aswell
When i get mine back on monday i just know the 172 is again going to feel as fast as when i first bought it.

Think i'll opt for the Ford transit route though PMSL

I drive a van most days, it does make the clio feel quick... oh and i also have a maxogen

 

[Timmay]

lol - ill bear that in mind!

 

[Neil G]

Was bored of the 172 a long time ago....not going to rent a van though, I think I'll just sell it instead

Try driving a bus ! My 197 feels like a missile when i go home.. Plus my handling is slightly better than the 15 ton pile of poo i drive for 8 hours

 

[Liambo-235]

Haha! Man i drive a Berlingo all day long for about 300 miles a day then jump into my 1.2 Campus sport and that thing feels like a rocket and well built and its only a shitty 1.2 :S

 

[Russ_16v]

Ah but you can't use a Transit as they get round the 'ring in 10 mins.....

 

[jack_davey]

Lol I appreciate it does sound insane, but it does make appreciate just how quick the car is!

*almost 10 mins.

 

[Beef-Mc]

I'm offering rental of my 1.2 for £25 a day providing you fill it up with fuel at the end of the day

 

[Schweppy]

LOL. Im rentin a ford transit for moving next week! Costing me £60 tho! lol

Maybe my car will seem quick again after!

 

[Keano]

^^ haha. was just about to type the same message.

 

[Golgarth]

try driving a bottom of the range Vectra diesel everyday, makes the 197 feel like an F430!

 

[Robbeh]

I'm a BT engineer (was, as of yesterday) and always drive them crappy slow vans, makes me enjoy the clio even more like you said

I actually find some buses are really fun to drive.... does that make me sad? Maybe its because its not my job anymore. Volvo B7 chassis's are awesome and you can throw them around a fair bit.

 

[Justin]

I LOL'd out loud.

 

[maz172cup]

I see where ur coming from, a mate of mine is a bus driver, and it makes his mirca feel quick

 

[McBunny]

the transit has a lower seating position that a 1*2
