Little clios.

[Gregaarrss]

When all these meets happen.. What about the little clios, 1.2 ect, Non-sports.. Feel a bit left out compared to the beasts?

Feel like attending some but thought i'd just get bullied out of it

 

[Paul182]

you'll be alright mate, lots of non sports go to meets

 

[Djw John]

Non sports and even non clios are welcome along to meets!

 

[The Fatty]

nah you wont get bullied out everyone knows McGherkin has the slowest clio in the south west and still no bullying in site when at the meets lol. don't worry about and just go along and have fun, im sure you will feel very welcome.

 

[Gregaarrss]

Ooh, Well thanks

 

[Chip-mk1]

I sometimes go to meets in one of our fast clios, sometimes im in a 1.2 corsa that I use as a daily, Ive been equally welcome each time.

There is a meet in basingstoke (ie near you) on tuesday next week, pop along and say hi

Exactly, we are all far too busy hating him for being ginger to notice he has a 1.2 really TBH

 

[Spinksy]

seriously mate, you will still feel right at home in a normal meet

 

[.Steve]

Nah you'll be fine. I felt the same before my first meet, but nobody seemed to mind.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Should turn up at a Scottish CS meet, you'll feel out of place driving any Clio!

 

[Djw John]

Lol, we managed 3 Clios at the last one, will see how many this Sunday!

Lies!!

 

[Sam]

When I organize meets I'm always wanting slower cars to come.

When doing driving meets its not about flying along at 70 MPH, its about having an interesting drives with friends. Stopping for photos and chit chat is what meet are all about for me.

 

[Sam]

Also, most of us all started off in something slower than a clio!

You've got to start somewhere!

[McGherkin]

All I'm saying is if I've got the slowest clio in the south west, then how do I keep up with everyone?

You're not a racing driver if you don't go for a gap IIRC.

where is this meet in basingstoke?

 

[Brett]

I've been to CS meets in all of my cars inc a 1.2 Clio and Mazda 323F. Long as you enjoy it that's all that matters.

 

[Chip-mk1]

where is this meet in basingstoke?

At Longbridge hook mill pub on tuesday the 12th from 7:30pm onwards

 

[-Danman-]

I wouldn't risk it mate, everyone throws rocks at the non-sporters in our area


In all seriousness, I did feel a bit awkward on my first meet as I was the only guy in a non-sport and had never met anyone before.

Now I don’t care if I know anyone or what cars they’re driving because that’s the whole point of going. – Putting faces to names, having a laugh and taking pictures

If you don’t go you’ll never know what it’s like, plus you can never go to another one again if you disliked it.

Also we stick to the limits and dont go about 3.5K

We can always test this on Friday?

@ jack, South Central group are a good bunch, they make you feel welcome

My first meet I met some pup known as "Dr Jekyll"... Next thing you know a month later he was under my car helping me fit and exhaust and suspension. One of the most honest, genuine and nicest blokes I've ever met. Every meet since has been the same. Top people.

Believe it or not, when I first saw Mark's car it was a shed!! (I jest mate - it was just in bits in the passenger footwell). It's one of the nicest cars to grace these pages.

<3 CS.

 

[Leeshez]

As said you would be most welcome in any car or as a passenger in any car. No matter if it is a Clio sport or a 1.2. . A lot of friendly people on here.

 

[Euan94]

Nothing wrong with going in a 1.2!

As someone has already said, you have to start somewhere!

 

[Knuckles]

For the first year or two of being on here I owned a non sport, went to meets and drives with everyone... I had a problem keeping up at one point with the rally mk1 and 172cup in front on one drive... But that didnt make it any less fun.

Go along to one

Do you race for slips? Lol

 

[McGherkin]

Only if I can unplug two of your HT leads and hide several slabs of concrete in your boot

 

[halfmo]

Lies!!

i think that's more clios in 1 picture than exist in all of Australia...and not a 5 door in sight. i'd be left out there too...lol

Really nice to read this Sam I appriciate the kind words.

 

[Wick]

The bit about you being a pup or your car being a shed?

 

[Jekyll]

Lol. Although I am a bit confused about the footwell?

 

[The Fatty]

Save on the lifting, just unplug 1 injector on an F4R and you will win hands down! lol.

Before all the carbon bits all the dash strips and exhaust and bumper trims were lose in the car lol!
