Most satisfying moment in your clio?

[172boost]

I'm not after any sexual references here by the way!!!!!
I'd like to know the best moment you have had in your clio!
Overtaken a monster, flown on a track, won prizes at a show, raced a supra and won(lol), air bag saved your life???? C'mon lets ave em!!!!
I've only owned my 172 for a few weeks so mine has to be when I first gave it some stick in the twisties when my mate said it was slow. Humble pie was eaten shortly after.:approve:

 

[DH_GTI]

giving it some round the twisties with esp off in lovely dry warm weather allways puts a smile on my face !!

 

[edde]

Was help up by an a German BMW M3 in on the Nurgburgring.

 

[Lee-182]

When i drove it home two weeks ago from buying it and i didnt have to do anything to it, not wash it or anything. Bought it in show room condition from a po-lod man who never took it out in the rain.

Must say i had a nice smile on my face driving home.

 

[FiXX]

when i piled it into a concrete bollard and got rid of it

 

[Gaz_]

Pushing UK wrx imprezas and ctr's down dual carrageways, lol

[xcliox]

when my mate got his 106gti he thought it would beat ma 182 but as he obviously found out up the a12 i cained him lol

 

[TomTom]

[Grant_172]

HMMMM when I first hit 5k revs on my test drive I was like oh yes Im having this lol

 

[lewisniven]

probably the blast we wne tof rat an MK meet a few months back, pulling aay from the 182 cup behind me out of every corner made me feel gd.

 

[Addz]

racing a lexus is200 off some traffic lights on my private stretch of road and him crashing through some barriers at about 30mph .. giggle

 

[Jamesl172]

[chriscl]

Pushing the 182 through the Craner Curves at Donington; don't know if I've ever had a smile so big!

 

[172.com]

When I beat a Veyron and a GT3 at the lights.

That and when I flew it to the moon this one day.

 

[Bradharding]

Will hopefully be tomorrow

 

[FincH]

Either owning my mates Mk2 Golf GTi after he'd spent a load of money having the engine rebuilt, head ported, cam, custom exhaust and manifold. Beat him off the lights, mid range and top end. He was livid!

Or getting the back end on the Clio out while cornering in the wet and correcting it.

Feels so good.

 

[Kris 172]

Driving in front of my mate in his Teg Type R and 3 wheeling round the round about, without actually realising until he told me once we parked up.

I was addictied to 3 wheeling I don't think thats possible now I sold my CUP

Good thing the MG's got a big boot only thing there useful for is shopping leave the proper fun cars to real car manurfacturers why can make a profit selling there reliable cars.

He'll be back spouting rubbish about 172's. I personally think he's been owned by one and is bitter..... its like school children..... the girl and boy fight, but they love each other really

 

[Gibson172]

mine has to be when a picked it up first straight a nailed it to about 4 thousand and thought f**k me this is quick

then next straight hit the 5 thousand and thought this is the car for me


or a close second was the run we had in september round stirling way chasing a 172 182 and a williams all of us thrashing it!!!!!!

 

[peggy]

getting the back wheel to come of the floor.. scary but was a laugh!!

 

[H5 D*P]

gotta be when i first went out on my own in the first cup and found someone to play with! Eaten! lol and the the count is still going up. hehe

 

[Rodds16v]

what a s**t hot question! 2 times - 1 when i was in my 1.4 sport melting away on a back road, hurtled round a corner at 85 straight into a ford focus(clio saved my life) or when i took my 182 into the country for a sunday drive.............every sunday

 

[Chili Red]

Leaving an Audi for dust when he'd been up my ass for 2 miles on single carriageway, then clearly thought he'd waste me when it changed to dual carriageway...no chance!

I love my car.

 

[Djw John]

The Oban road trip last year, my wee 1.4 with 3 fat b******s and an install in it blasting along country roads (esp from Inverurie) and no-one in their 172s being able to get past until we eventually caught the leading pack!

 

[WILLIE]

when i first took picked it up off my dads mate. they went in for a coffee and i creamed round the blocks with a big phat smerkin grin

 

[brisa4984]

the test drive just before i got it. coming from a 1.2 the sport was crazy. I'd heard about the 5k power hype so i floored it in 2nd to see and man i was happy. Its been almost a year now and i can see why some people get tired of it and mod it for more power. Think im going to drive the 1.2 for a week and hope in the sport to get that feelin back.

Happy after i clay and wax the thing. flame red looks fantastico

 

[Cookie]

Chasing a Carrera GT down a Dual Carriageway on the test drive
