Gloucester(shire) (old) spots

[VenomUK]

You're more likely to see me in the Kangoo than the Clio. Being SORN since August I had a real itch to get it out of hibernation over the weekend and give it a nice long blast around the shire.

 

[NBG182]

Spotted in the forest yesterday. Anyone on here? Looked very tidy, don't often see phase 1's around our way.

 

[Adey.]

Totally forgot about this thread, must remember to update it

There's a 197 F1 on my close, I know the owner don't think he's on here though. Owned it since new!

Yeah that’s me. Normally park over Beechenhurst when I go cycling.

Good to see it about, keep finding myself wanting a ph1. I was parked well up the top of the overflow, normally bring the van for MTB though.

It gets used a lot as it is my main car. Long term project to get it back to 100% a long with a few extras.

Spotted in Newent this morning

Another spotted, this time on the m50, technically Herefordshire but also seen in Newent

 

[VenomUK]

Anyone on here by the old prison about 2:30 today. I do like a 197 with a spoiler. Just looks like a real racer on the road

Saw a RB 197 @ Kingsditch yesterday

Saw a RB 197 @ Kingsditch yesterday

Spotted Asda Kingsway Thursday night at 9:45. Anyone from here. I do like the RB 197, they just fast when stood still View attachment 1501483

Was it this one by any chance?

 

[riz]

No it had orange wheels.

 

[HCPete]

Coming back from the MoT in my 182 I passed another RB 182 on the Presbury Road in Cheltenham this afternoon (54 plate I think). First time I've seen one on the road. Anyone here?

Spotted a black 200 EDC crossing the motorway junction in Tewkesbury yesterday (26/5/21) at around 3.40

anyone here?

our eyes met across the road, we flashed each other.....

The owner of this Clio 200 is an older gentleman who lives in Maisemore. He also owns an E46 M3 and an old left-handed rally car! I parked next to him in Tesco once in my 172 CUP and luckily he was walking back to his car just as I was parking up so we had a chat. The Clio 200 is his daily.

Has anyone used Trade n Save in recent years? I could do with someone with clip to read/clear a code, possibly disable the second lambda sensor (think I read somewhere that you can turn that one off)

Failing that, last I heard they tend to prefer the later stuff now and don't really bother with the earlier cars and if you ask for something to be enabling/disabling they tend to shy away from that kind of thing?

Or I get in touch with SG Motorsport (I think BTM Performance has dissolved)

 

[Adey.]

I wasn't aware that clip could be used to disable the sensor tbh, can definitely read/clear codes though

I have Mossy. After using them for the cambelt change on my old Ph1 and then again on my new one I thought they were ok. But they had it in to confirm my steering rack was broken and then replace. They said it wasn't the rack but the aux tensioner that was faulty so I said "can you change it" and their response was "why?" 🤦‍♂️ also refused to change the front wheel bearings and then put no effort in removing the wishbones either that I asked them to replace - I wasn't going to have a fight with them on my drive (I have one allocated parking space with no room either side so any kind of work requiring lifting is not really possible) so asked them to do it and they said the "one bolt needed cutting off so we couldn't do it". Great. Got Tom at Motorworks to do it as I know he has the tools to do it and he just laughed at me as it was finger tight and didn't know what the fuss was about.
Oh and also it came back filthy insides and they were brand new mats.

I’m not convinced with them to be fair. They use to be the top dogs and people would travel far and wide to them back in the day or so I’m told. Seems they aren’t interested any more.

Nice sounding Twingo in Slad Valley.

Spotted that in the morning, looks like someone had a bad time. Wondered if they needed any help recovering but nobody was there.

Saw a red 197 by Cleeve/Staverton last Friday with buckets etc.

Also a nice red 200 in Leckhampton.

Riding my bike up towards Cranham the other day, by cheese roller hill. There is a clio Trophy parked on one of the drives! Pretty sure there was a Cup there not too long ago as well

Haven't seen a Trophy there before but one guy has a 182.

Yeah it was deffo a trophy I saw on Sunday, I’d seen a blue (what I thought was a cup) before. But had always ridden past in a big group who have no internet in old clios.

I forgot to look again this morning on my way to work. Did think about posting it on the FB pages, same reason to see if they needed help recovering it.

 

[VenomUK]

I've seen a few more 197/200 darting around now, non seem to be on here it seems...

 

[RustyMojo]

Summers coming @VenomUK when my car is fixed we need to get the shite folk together!

Racing blue 182 with buckets and (maybe) a cage on the way into Cirencester, I use my 172 cup daily and never see any 172/182’s so excited to see a fellow Renaultsport Clio on my commute!
