Clio 200 Cup; Not liked by Dad....

[Bluebeard]

Took my mum and dad into town tonight as they are off out for a piss up and a midnight curry. (Better social life than me, c***s.)

Decided to take them in the Clio as they've not been in it yet. After less than 3 minutes this was my dads opinion....

''This cars s**t! Its bouncing all over the road. Infact its annoying me.

Its not got Aircon?? Hahahaha!!

Christ it revs high doesn't it. (We were on the mway at this point)

You'll have to speak up, your mother can't hear you in the back. Its too bloody noisy in here.

Why are your headlights Yellow? They're not Dad, you've got Xenons on your car, i've got normal lights. ''Hahahaha!! Even your lightbulbs are crap!''.


So all in all, I don't think Clio 200's are for 57 year old Grandparents.

 

[mat-nos]

lol, pov spec FTL....... ;-)

 

[joe1983cup]

Taxi next time ?

 

[172Ben]

FLOL.

Love your dad

 

[Jamie]

Has a number of fair points!

 

[Bluebeard]

I genuinely don't like driving it day to day. As an A to B car it infuriates me.

As a fun car to actually drive just for the sake of driving, its outstanding.

FLOL! Dadster rulez....!

[alex-avfc]

I can empathise, my dad absolutely hates my car.

When he got back to see it parked up on the drive for the first time... "Ah....Peugeot"...and walks past

 

[theduck]

My dad actually began to understand my car after going out in it.

 

[Darren S]

Did you ever take them out in the Evo, Dan? What did he think of that?

I let him borrow it and the speed had him laughing his head off! lol.

 

[TimR26]

All that but your Dad doesn't comment on the front end......

 

[Stan.]

I haven't told my mum about the 200 yet! Had it three weeks!

 

[JMR]

My mum loves the wifes RB182. Took her out for a spin a couple of weeks back and she was amazed.
Then again, she is trying to talk my dad into buying my Civic Type R off me - it's not even for sale!!!

Trying to soften me up when I went round to see them saying they would do a straight swap for my dads Merc E270 CDi, both cars 4 yr old.

Sorry to hear your dad not liking the 200 Dan. :dapprove:

 

[jenic]

My parents hate my car, loud, heavy, and uncomfortable to them which is the opposite to what they look for in a car.

My dad has never approved of any of my cars, infact the only time he has approved of anything i bought was when I had my jap bike phase, if it aint jap he dont want to know

 

[AlexS]

To be honest im starting to go right off hatches, think i ve done about 700 miles in the last 2 weeks in the panda and the bumpy ride is really starting to piss me off! My best mates just bought a range rover classic, v8 auto, drove that earlier and its bloody marvellous!

I wish my Dad liked Jap cars, would love to see an Evo or Type-R on the drive!

 

[Fred@BTM]

you dad is 57? He must've knocked your mum up when they were 12? you at least 45 motherfucker!!

PMSL!

lol, them days are well past.

He's now 55 and rolling in his Jazz :rasp:

 

[GiT]

Piss in his Slippers... the allegro lovely hippie! lol

 

[Will.]

FLOL at your dad's response.

My parents haven't been in mine yet. In fact in 3 weeks, I'm doing them a favour and being taxi for their friends for the evening while they hold a dinner party. I look forward to my parents remarks about their friends comments on my car and the noise, bearing in mind they are all around the age of 50.

 

[BenadetH]

hahahah thats brilliant! what a LOL worthy thread! My dad loves cars but is into jags and stuff! He said "so its like your billabong clio you had? the 1.2?" Me - Yes Dad, like that but the sport version
Him - "ok so its a 2 litre engine in thats small a car?" Me - Yeah and its got 182 of Brake horse and goes to 60 in 6 and a half seconds...its a wee go kart...goes round corners like its on rails but you get a little play from it when cornering hard! Him - ".....few second pause...Jesus Christ...watch you dont lose your licence" hahaha!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Nothing wrong with being 50(or over)

 

[JMR]

lol, them days are well past.

He's now 55 and rolling in his Jazz :rasp:

Mine's late 60's and mentioned a Jazz, think that's why mum was pointing him toward the CTR.

If he'd not sold his last car I would have swapped him for that. 4.2litre Jag XJ.

 

[jack_kemp]

My dads 54 and is buying an accord type r next month. He also loves my 172 cup!

 

[Soot1e]

I'm 59 next week and you won't catch me in a Honda jazz or other type of shopping car. A 200 Cup or R27 is on my wish list when I take my pension next year. I can't beleive some of my peers and friends of similar vintage who seem to suddenly get old and whingy and scoff at younger people with hot hatches and motorsport in general.

 

[nth]

does he know of the ratvan?

 

[Bluebeard]

lol, yeah. He'll be going in it at dinner time! I've got to give him a lift to my work to look at a new car for him.

I'lll treat him to a bit of Dead Pres on the subs, see what he thinks of that!

 

[Soot1e]

What sort of car is yer dad looking for? and the hell is Dead PRES?

 

[daydotz]

should have got a ff

 

[Richyy182]

Has a number of fair points!

hahaha

 

[tommys]

What sort of car is yer dad looking for? and the hell is Dead PRES?

I think he's talking about an American hip hop artist, dead prez. Search dead prez - hip hop in YouTube.

 

[Revels]

That just makes you a massive gay.

It's hardly a stripped out race prepped car is it? It's a Clio with a bit of extra power.

The whole point of them is that they're good for everyday driving.

 

[Sarah]

LOL Dan

My mum doesnt really like my cars, and my dad doesnt really comment but jumps at a chance to use them if i let him

Only car hes had long term use of is the 306 TD! lol but he feels at home as hes used vans most of his life so the shed suits him! lol

 

[HTZ]

I am 56 and have covered over 27000 miles in my 200! So :rasp: to your dad.

HTZ

 

[poopipe]

My dad (57) says the 172 has s**te crashy suspension and it's french so it'll fall apart.

can't argue with that really.

 

[Christopher]

WAIT A SECOND.

Your Mum & Dad aren't 60 yet?!

 

[Will.]

WAIT A SECOND.

Your Mum & Dad aren't 60 yet?!

Must have been a teenage pregnancy......being in Bristol an all.

 

[richard1]

Going to France tomorrow with parents in the car - think I'd better take a Laguna!!
