Fifth Gear Tonight, Clio 182

[sbridgey]

so hold on, you didn't realise the thread was 10 years old? does that mean 5th gear do have your car for filming right now? they might be doing the new clio vs. a 182 if so?? That would be cool!

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Haydn M]

There reviewing hot hatches priced between £3k-£5k . There filming my clio on Tuesday , Jason potatoe will be doing a test drive in it

 

[The Fatty]

got any pics of said car? (preview )

 

[realnumber 1]

Sounds interesting!

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Look forward to seeing this . Enjoying the new series of 5th gear , it's a refreshing change to Top Gear the entertainment show

So how come there using 182's?

 

[sbridgey]

I would be expecting a decent trophy not a normal 182 for that price range.

Maybe, but a good 182 should fetch £3k.

I will, however, be preserving my mental capacity by maintaining my self-imposed 5th gear/Top Gear embargo.

 

[r&skxa]

I've dumped Top Gear for fifth gear. If the TG lads are doing a road trip then I'll watch it, otherwise I don't care about the hyper cars they drive, or care how fast a celeb can drive round a track. I use to like it when they reviewed normal cars. Bores me to tears now. Fith gear is great. Tiff Needle is a legend and VBH isn't too bad to look at.

 

[Adamm.]

Who is Jason Potatoe? lol sounds good though.

 

[cliokid182]

I think a real decent 182 will sell no problems for 4k

 

[DannyR]

I think a real decent 182 will sell no problems for 4k

Think that's the most sensible thing you've ever said!

182 to a standard buyer using eBay/auto trader will pay around £4k easily, its only on here they're undervalued so much!

I think a real decent 182 will sell no problems for 4k

ive had mine 6 months and was looking to buy one long before then and the ones that are on auto-trader for £3.5k or more are still for sale

i reckon 3k is around right

 

[Haydn M]

If you type in fifth gear wanted 182 into google I think it's the second link down , it was posted on a Renault forum and I just replied to it . I did upload some pics onto my profile , they may not have been uploaded properly if there not there . I was struggling to upload my pics as it keep saying the were to big in data size any ideas on what to do

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Sounds goods, When would it be on roughly?
Last time a 182 was on a Car show it was Top Gear testing the Tyre differences lol

 

[Reko]

Nice! thanks for the heads up on this. I hope they don't slate it and say a type-r/mcs is better, it will cause all out war on CS.

Ha a decent Clio 182 I'd be more than happy to pay 4k for, there alot of car for that money.

The ones you see for sale for 2-3k ect you will more than likely need to spend money and time on.

 

[DannyR]

Yep, I paid £2300 for my current Ph2 172, compared to some that's nearly double the price. But full history, 49k, good MOT, Cambelt just done and fairly clean bodywork it was worth it all day long.

[Haydn M]

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Looks like its gunna be a Stealth ep haha,

 

[Semtax]

Im looking forward to this now

 

[The Fatty]

Did they say what there winner was?

 

[Martin.]

So this will be shown towards the end of the year?

 

[Haydn M]

Did they say what there winner was?

I don't think there'll be a winner as they chose three cars all in different price range , obviously the clio is the best mr Plato preferred the clio , he said he used to own a clio Williams (which he wrote off )

 

[DanEdser]

Swear they've already done a mk2 vs mk3 clio sport episode?

 

[Mr Plums]

Hope its on sooner than later.

Legend! (sort of). Shame he wrote it off, but for a guy that obviously knows how to drive, he must have been pushing HARD!

 

[Haydn M]

Maybe he couldn't handle the power lol , the b*****d made my thumb grip worse !

 

[Reko]

Nice can't wait to see it

Oh, and your Clio looks lovely btw

 

[UKBraderz]
