Meanwhile...over on Scoobynet

[Lee]

They rarely have a bad thing to say about Clios, excpept for the build of course. But then seeing as the inside of the boot on a Turbo 2000 doesnt even have a lining, they can talk. LOL

cheeky basterds!

 

[Lee]

haha, you should see the comments on the Civic forums.

They are blaming a different Stig, different weather/temperature and the Clio using Semi slicks. LOL.

Not that I care, but it does make you laugh.

 

[David]

i do appreciate that there are some, more balanced views on there...even from scooby owners saying clios are quick. seems like a nice forum other than a bit of silly banter which u get everywhere anyways

 

[jon_r]

Yer i agree, they seem like top people on that site.

Reallistically though, the Civic & Clio should be very closely matched...

(youll have seen me defending the Clio on there, as usual)

Scoobynet is a great forum. One of the best motoring forums out there.

 

[Lee]

I noticed Rich. The Civic forums are very much like the CS ones. Most members post sensible comments, others end up resorting to bread van and womens cars comments.

Which doesnt bother most normal people.

Same with a lot of car forums, theres always the minority...

Lol , thats a pic of my old Clio Willy on the last page . I think that was taken at Kemble .

Ive been a member of scoobynet for a few years now as I used to own one and Ive met some really nice people locally at meets and events. Like any forum it does have its share of idiots though unfortunately.

 

[S2 PTH]

haha, so glad the 182 did so well round the track!

I agree. I dont think this Stig is consistent though. The times should me closer.

I think thats a well balanced discussion, always liked the Scooby drivers Ive met, Scoobys are dam good cars and they are always up for a bit of light hearted play on the dual carriage way

Christ, the Clios lap time has ruffled a few feathers....

Noticed 10penceshort giving you a bit of grief Rich, I take it thats the same d1ckhead that crops up on here occasionally??!

 

[Ally]

I thought that was a pretty decent thread in Scoobynet - any bad things that were said about the Clio are either true (build quality ) or tongue in cheek (birds car, etc.).

And as said by David, its good to see the Clio being appreciated by owners of other performance cars though.

 

[cliotuRS]

""its good to see the Clio being appreciated by owners of other performance cars though.""

the clio is a performance car ?? should have said

its good to see a car as cheap as a Clio being appreciated by owners of other performance cars though.

Scoobynet is great, and u always garunteed a good read with something interesting or a well balanced opinion

helped me loads since i got my scooby.

as i had a clio williams 2, i have respect for the clio aswell, i loved the car, was great, shouldnt have got rid of it really, but i wanted the fun of driving a R5GTT... who doesnt?

didnt see the Top Gear on sunday so couldnt comment on the 182 report, but 1.33 around the track certainly gives it a solid performance.
