If anyone wants a recommendation for a decent non-franchised garage locally (I've been there with Sunwin - the 182 was in 5 times in it's first 800 miles, for the same fault!), I can highly recommend Wood Lane Garage in Horsley Woodhouse (http://www.woodlanegarage.com) - it's owned by a close mate of mine who's been wanting to set up on his own for years and has now taken the plunge. Dave's a good honest guy who will do a decent job, and won't rip you off.
If you need to get anything done, tell him Gaz sent you and he should look after you...

Wow - how many Clio Sports in Spondon (Derby)?!?!?!?
Mine is a black 02 172, usually on Notts Road (Spondon) and heading down Raynesway (work at Royces). But it also plods down to Ilkeston, Heanor/L.Mill, Guildford, Warrington, Buxton, etc.
Usually if I see a Sport I flash, pip or wave. However most just glare back at me ;-)

The not very well known site on Raynesway... ...where they pulled the big office block down at the front because it was crumbling/cracking ;-)

Won't be able to make Saturday afternoon meets though due to other commitments

Seems the longer this thread stays near the front the more of us Derby lot there are. Group buy on Sunwin Derby and turn it into a proper Renault outlet? lol.
Has anyone tried Looms scrappy by the way for Clio related bits? Im interested in perhaps finding some Clio alloys as a refurb project but ive never been in before.

Seen your motor when picking my Dad up from Raynesway site before. He works in the firestation
Ah, there are two black Clio Sports at Raynesway, mine and another. I usually cycle in so chances are it was the other. Mines an 02, but I usually only see the other out of my window at about 200 yards, in between cars, so not got his plate yet!
Is your dad at the RR-Raynesway fire station? If so who is your dad? My aunty was friends with a a lady whose ex-hubby was a RR Raynesway fire fighter, think the lady was called Stasha/Stesha/Stella, or something like that ;-)
