Ill be around on Tuesdays and Wednesdays unitl I go back to Uni too (Bristol, doing a Masters) and youll see my car in the drive again on those days. I usually have the bonnet open for some reason or another!
I saw your car parked up a while ago and posted then, but I guess you didnt see it - threads disappear to the next page fast if no-one picks them up
Theres a good Clio crowd in Bristol, but every time Ive tried to organise some sort of a meet, Ive had Avon & Somerset Police threatening to crush my car for organising illegal cruises!
(which, for the record, I dont do).
Im a real fan of the Dynamique - especially in black. All you need to do is colour code the plastic strips and lower it a little, and youd be confused more often than not for a 172! Was down at Renault Cardiff today: they had a black 172 and a Dynamique 1.2 next to each other - you can hardly tell the difference if youre not looking hard. Im so glad you cant confuse an old Clio with the 16v/Williams!!
Lofty:
Not sure where the nearest 1/4 mile strip is, but weve got time to find one by the sounds of things! Good luck with the engine conversion - if you need somewhere that you can trust and is mega, mega cheap, go to Transmission Workshop in Bedminster (other side of the river from Spike Island). Ask for Andy (the boss) and say that I sent you.
Ill dig out the number if you like.
