Clio v6

A couple of small jobs done today.

Aerial base gasket - a very common issue on the vee unfortunately. Managed to get one from Steve from Rsports following a custom built group buy a few years ago (you can't get them anymore) but never got around to doing but only took 30 mins.

Use the same gaskets on the 182 satnav bases too, I got hold of 5 a few months back.

No need to apologise Steve

yes the cover is fantastic - it has a fleecy lining but I still make sure the car is spotless before it on but haven't had any issues at all with it as you do read some horror stories associated with car covers.

Really I didn't know that - I wonder if it is the same part number as I was told you can't get them anymore. Are you selling the other 4, lol. Have you got the part number and how much were they mate?

They're the same part number 100%. I sold the other 4, had them up on the forum in the classifieds at £20 posted each.
What did you pay?

That answered my question as to what the inner material is - that's the thing, people say about them scratching, messing up the paint etc, but if you use a cheap 'universal' 20 quid cover off eBay or put it on a filthy and/or soaking wet car, what do you expect!!

Thanks
Sadly not for a few years, I was looking forward the Origine RS one as I've not been to it, but I found out it's skipping this year

Would have been awesome to see your phase 1 Illiad - only 8 in this country isn't it?
And it's a real shame that's there no ORS this year as it has always been a great show.

Thanks for message and link matey - I will post it on the v6 forum.

Exactly Steve - I would rather just leave the car outside in the elements but some just don't understand

Had a great day at Cliosport Festival - I have not been before but was great.
Also was more than pleased to be asked to park the Vee outside the main tent

Fricking love this v6! Spent forever drooling over it last weekend - there isn’t one thing I’d change about it, except for the name on the v5 ?

(P.s. it was me who asked you to park outside the main marquee)

Hello Owen

and thanks for the kind words - it's kind of strange that I take me owning this car for granted and then when I take it anywhere it gets a lot of attention (good attention I hope, lol).

I was over the moon when you asked me to park it there - thanks buddy, you made my day.

Megane R26

Cambelt, water pump and service today with Mick at Diamond Motors.
Top service as ever

@SharkyUK your trophy is in safe hands

Actually Micks prices aren't to bad at all compared to others and then consider how good he is - it was a no brainer.
Total price was £538

Yes all good Andy, hope you're well and looks like you all had a blast in Wales - sorry couldn't make it this year as I was working.

Glad to hear you're all well.

Yes, the Weekender was great despite the poor weather and 'interesting' traffic conditions (especially on the first day!) You were mentioned and missed in equal measure so sort it out for next year, please... hahahaha!

Lol, unfortunately I was tail end Charlie due to not knowing where I was going.

Been a busy year for it - yep 4 car shows and the MOT station

Didn't go anywhere last year - didn't even have an MOT for a while, lol.

Storm 200

Important update, lol.

OCD sorted

Thanks mate - it has always bugged me where to store it and then I randomly came across a picture of one, which I never knew you could get and thought fantastic thats what I need and nice an oem

Clio_fool · Oct 4, 2018

Surely that should have been standard fit? I use to use the in-laws mk3 and they had the remote in the house. Took ages to figure out how to disable the speed camera warning. I was ready to rip the bloody tomtom out completely ?

Dom_capper · Oct 8, 2018

They were standard, my mk3 came with one.

Ant1 · Oct 8, 2018

Some nice motors!!

Thought they might be - mine will have been binned for weight saving

The Storm has ended but what a Storm it was!!!

A sad day but the car is safely with its new owner in Reading.

Final pics with my son Oliver and with the new owners stable mate of a 197.

mossyv6 · Jan 13, 2019

Clio_fool · Jan 13, 2019

Didn't take long to shift, as expected really. Space for an exige now??

brisa4984 · Jan 13, 2019

Which exige you going for ?

That was quick, but kind of expected as soon as you'd mentioned the possibility of selling it.

No Exige for me

always wanted one but I must be realistic.

Shame. It would be highly entertaining to see you unfold yourself from an Exige??

Wait a minute, did you advertise the Storm? I didn't see it anywhere but someone's got a great car there, I'd have loved it.
