Just pondering on my renaultsport addiction...

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

Since 2005 when I joined this forum with my first ever RS clio, i've had....


X ph1
X ph1
52 172 blue Cup
w ph1
52 ph2
03 ph2
02 ph2
51 ph2
02 ph2
Y reg Exclusive
04 182
54 182 (Still currently got)
53 Silver 172 Cup
Williams 3
Williams 2
Clio 200 Cup
Clio 16v
Clio 16v (still currently got)

This doesn't include any cars that belong to Colshe. All of the above were bought and owned by me personally.

Thats bordering on a bit sad and pathetic really isn't it. What a loser.

 

[Scrooge]

There is something wrong with you, but that's why we love you.

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

I feel a bit depressed looking at it. What a shambolic waste of money. I could be driving a brand new M3!

 

[Scrooge]

That would also be a shambolic waste of money.

 

[DaveDreads]

But would you have had as much fun in an M3?

This is true. I've sold all of them to buy something 'better' but always end up missing the clio.

 

[Dave Hester]

So which clio was the best??

You know, the one you park up, get out, lock and walk off whilst looking back at it?

There's 3 joint 1st position.

The first X reg ph1, the Exclusive and the Silver Cup. All three were proper proper tidy.

 

[theduck]

You've had more Clios in 7 years than most people will have cars in their entire life!

 

[Revels]

I've been here two years more than you.

My list;

Ph1.

 

[jack_davey]

that is mental, but honestly (being a car dealer) have you lost money on any of them?

I've owned the same 182 since Oct '07!

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

3 of them stand out; Both the williams, the pair of them lost me well over £3000 between them, and the 200 Cup was leased.

(I haven't included my gold plated mk1 16v that owes me a fcuking fortune!! lol)

 

[R-Sport.]

Trophy missing from that list!-

How about one of them!

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

I've had one but it belonged to Colshe. I also had one brand new as a company car when I was at renault.

 

[Russ_16v]

Lol oh Dan!

My Clio list is tiny compared to yours

Mk1 RSi
Mk1 16v
Mk1 16v
Mk1 16v hybrid
Ph1 172
Ph2 182 LY
Ph1 172
Ph1 172 Exclusive
Duf (Willy 2) - have currently

 

[Cub.]

The amount of money the flamer is costing me means it will be a car for life! Or at least until it dies!

Crazy list though Dan - but reflects how addictive ownership of a good car can be!

 

[Marky_]

How long have you had a 182!?

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

3 weeks or so.

 

[Marky_]

Oh. You put still currently got so kind of sounded like you might have had it ages.

 

[Wick]

What's more impressive is you remembered that little lot on top of all the Colshe cars!

 

[alanc1000]

shame there is no 197 on there to complete the combo, maybe buy one just to complete the list?

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

Its coming alan...

197 next, then a V6 for the summer.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

I feel like I've walked I on an AA meeting!!

Hi my names Daniel I'm addicted to RenaultSports..

Hi Daniel

Its been 3 hours since I've driven and already I'm thinking about my next hit.

And how does that make you feel?

Like buying a RenaultSport

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

LOL! So i was correct, I am weird! lol.

Fcuk! I forgot! I bought your 182 as well didn't I.

Thats another to add to the list!

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

No no its just most addicts hide their activities its all good your amongst friends here.

Haha yup that's another one!!

 

[Jeff456]

Was going to mention that one... but wasn't sure how long you had to keep it for it to count!

 

[Gally]

Bang for buck is hard to beat in todays market. 3/3.5k for a decent 182? Bargain money.

Every kept any classic Ford's Dan?

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Oh hi hope she's treating you well. Went like bat s**t that car did!! Was a real eye opener when I got my 200 n thought.. My 182 would have pissed all over this!! Does it still have launch control?

 

[Jeff456]

Hi mate, yes thanks it's not missed a beat, other than a nail in one of the new PS3s I put on it... it does have launch control, which I have discovered by accident! Can't say I use it to be honest as I drive around fairly sedately 95% of the time, I presume it is a full map? It feels much more responsive from lower down the range than a 182 I nearly bought before it..

Thats because the cambelt was done properly!!

 

[Jeff456]

your probably right, the one I tried to buy hadn't had a cambelt change... the guy offered to do it for £300, in hindsight I am glad that all fell through!

 

[bobbyholmes117]

Your like my idol!! Hahaha

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

Your like my idol!! Hahaha

Seriously, I'm not.

 

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

The parts alone cost that! Cambelt kit, aux belt kit and a dephaser.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Glad to hear it. It's remapped via the Rstuner, launch control is just a bit of fun nice to blip it at the lights every now n then don't think I used it more than 3/4 times in total. That car also had a new gearbox whilst I owned it so there can't be much that can go wrong with it!!

Sorry for the of topicness back to Dans addiction

 

[Jeff456]

Yeah originally I wanted him to do it as part of the full asking price, he agreed, then told me on looking at cost he wanted another £300.. I was blinded by the fact that it was so much better than my 1.2, and I was suddenly desperate for a 182. All a bit shady to be honest not being able to clear the finance... loan companies trying to recover the car etc etc. Dodged a bullet I think.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

I've got a Racing Blue touch up kit if you want it? More than happy to drop it off sometime.

That would be amazing if you wouldn't mind? I do seem to have acquired a couple of scratches not sure how to be honest, all appeared in the couple of weeks of owning and nothing since, spoke to chips away but to be honest the guy put me off when I started asking questions about whether he would do a decent job! Would be nice to see the SG 200, looks pretty sweet in the pictures I have seen! I seem to have moved the thread majorly off topic.. whoops, although I guess it does concern one of the many Clio's Dan has owned!

 

[Chili Red]

You need an R27 and a Mk2 V6.

Saddo


(I must admit, I loved my RB 182)

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Yea it's cool it's all loosely Dan related no probs im sure i can find some spare time when I get home from enjoying the 30 degree polish weathe. I work in nailsea so I'm never a million miles away.
