I never mention it, otherwise you end up sounding like a sad car geek by saying "it's a 2.0 litre 16 valve with 182bhp and a 0 - 60 blah blah, Sachs racing dampers blah blah".
The only time I go into it is when the people I'm talking to understand. Couple of lads I was drinking with over Christmas asked and I said I've got a Clio. One said "172?" and I said I had one of those and 182 and now have a Trophy. He replied "The red one with the recaros?" I was shocked he knew. We then chatted cars for the rest of the night, one had a FRS and had owned a Valver years back, and the other had a WR1.

It happens to me all the time and it hacks me off.
"Go-faster stripes on yer' hairdresser's car," is the standard comment. They wouldn't call an XR3 an Escort and they wouldn't take the p*ss out of a Cosworth tough.
I had the coporate taxi firm owner tell my her 2.2L Vectra SRI would eat my car as it had 180BHP.... I walked away shaking my head and she laughed. I hate people that take the mick. I want to kill them all!

All the time, why is it people always associate clios with hairdressers?
I know a few hairdressers andnone of them drive clios.
The best is when they pretend they no more about the car than you do.
Had some matey a while back banging on how much he knew about the V6 then when i showed him he comes out with "so you got a big system under that big cover behind the seats"
I laughed at him and said no mate thats the engine is, he even started arguing with me saying it werent.
Lets just say he looked a tw*t when i opened the bonnet. :rasp:

Yup, get the piss ripped constantly, the car parks full of BMW's & Audi's, so i park my filthy dirty stripey 182 around the back - makes for an easier life.
Used to own an M Roadster, so i get the 'why did you sell that to buy a shitty clio' . . .
I dont care to be honest, ive had my fair share of beemers and the 182's far more fun
I dont think the stipes help though to be honest, especially when you work as a finance broker lol

At the end of the day it's only ignorant people who take the mick.
A chap I work with drives a remapped Audi A4 Quattro S-Line. I gave him my keys and he returned the favour. His car was unbelievable. After 30 minutes of fooling around he said, "nice motor you've got there, will be faster when it loosens up." :approve:

Whichever has fuel
Anyone who takes the pi55 is a c**k. and should be informed that the bigger/flashier the car, the smaller the penis. I do not need a big flashy car because i am happy with my purple headed womb ferret.
Oh, and tell them you're going on holiday with the money you saved from purchasing one of the cheapest ways of going fast.

I normally give it beans away from the lights but only until the speed limit (normally enough to see off most rep mobiles).....
I'm never prepared to go to the lengths some of them do to catch up and get past... :S ..... if they want to get past, they can..... I don't bother racing people..... its amazing the lengths some people will go to to have the last laugh....

Only seem to get mentioned when people know jack-s**t about cars (like the neighbours). Most people I know have a decent amount of knowledge about cars and never have a bad word to say about them.
Like others, most comment on the fact that they owned a Valver/Willy in the past and want to know what it's like in comparison.

pmsl @ preecy.
i cant say i've had anyone take the piss really. my mates asked me why i went from a beemer to the clio, so i just took them out and then they understood why.

LOL.. that's funny..
I had a Scoob originaly and get similar Q's.. the only thing i miss about the Scoob is the sound and the ability powerslide it.. the clio is just as quick on the lanes up to about (110 anyway).. and easily half the running cost..
NEED V6!
yeah i get some comments,people think its a clio with a body kit on and dont realise how quick it is.
also having it in liquid yellow might not help as they think its gay

Yeah most of the time, but I don't care really. But usually I say I have a ClioSport. Most people know that I like nippy little cars and so it wouldn't be a load of tripe
Old boss the other week said " have you still got your hairdressers car" I said yes and how's your brand new Freelander (£25k), considering it is now only with £8k after 6 months!
He got really defensive and walked off!

one of my ex-bosses used to give me stick with the good old mk1 172 I had, Until I made his jaw drop at a set of lights
Dont think he never liked me after that.. Even more so with the lame excuse he had to sack me too ...
So I told him to stick the job up his Arse and go get a DECENT car! lol...
Oh yeah, he drives a BMW 318i Coupe :rasp:
Jealousy is a bad green thing!
