Helloi from Switzerland ! New Clio RS 200 Owner

[SwissM]

Hi Guys !

I just bought a brand new Clio RS 200 in white. I'm very exited and love the car already, although still in the run in phase It's been all snow for the last few days here in Switzerland and the car looks a mess, will post some pics as soon as I can get it clean and shiny

Looking forward to the Clio experience !

all the best, Mike

Hi just bought a Clio RS 200 in green today what snow tyres do you run your car? I will be using my car a lot in the Swiss mountains so just looking to see which ones will be best

Welcome to the club.

The only diplomatic relations that the USA have with Iran are through the iranian embassy in Switzerland.

Hi : ) Congratulations on your purchase ! Can't tell much about the tires yet, they are bridgestones but can't remember the exact model right now. Had some skids on the snow already but that might be my driving style

Thanks to all for the warm welcome !

That's how we do it, quiet but crafty

@ Ollie rs: The tires are Bridgestone Blizzak LM 25V, the received mixed reviews... some say they are great on snow, other the opposite. Can't really tell, but the Conti winter tires have got good reviews consistantly... maye try those ?

BR, Mike

Welcome aboard Swiss, where abouts are you over there?

 

[SwissM]

Thanks m8 ! I'm located at the shores of lake zürich : )

 

[Goodj]

Awesome.

Are the stories we hear about Swiss police basically giving jail for speeding true? It sounds like having any car with pace is pointless.

I was wondering if you were anywhere near Hinwil, big Sauber fan here.

Haha, now that's not true... Never heard of anyone going to jail because of speeding, altough fines are expensive and you can loose your permit when going too fast... ( for example doing 90 kph in the 60 kph zone, I'm currently going trough the process of getting screwed ! I was overtaking with my motorbike... ) I'm actually about 20min from Hinwil. We tried to get a factory tour once but they refused :nono:. They have a original F1 car in the lobby though, so it was worth the trip anyway ! Driving fast in Switzerland is possible, you just need to know where the radars are in the urban area, in the mountains there is hardly any police around

Cheers !

Ah, I'm in touch with their sponsorship director, it's a long way for me to go, but I know they do have factory tours if you ask the right people at the right time! I'll ask in the new year what their plan is, but since they'll be concentrating on getting the C31 built and ready, probably wont be anything until the summer break.

Thanks a lot will have a look online and then buy them straight after xmas. Will need them to get up the Maloja pass haha i go up there nearly every weekend

 

[SwissM]

Sounds great ! I've never really went up a pass with a car for fun yet, hardly a surprise when my previous cars have been a Peugeot 306 1.3 and a Espace I'll certainly have to improve on this situation soon !
