Pick up Clio tomorrow

[MrTurner]

Don't think I'm the first to post this topic, but 2mor is the day I collect my 182. First Clio ownership, I had a Meg 225 Cup until last summer, so it has a big reputation to follow

Lol awesome. Im picking mine up Saturday!. First clio ownership for me too. I hope it lives up to all the hype on the handling side of things!.

Great news MrTurner. :approve:
You'll be happy as long as you've chosen a good one that looks like its been looked after.

My test drive was ok, stepping the back out a touch. Didn't need much of a test drive to feel its gonna come alive in the twisty's Shame it's a 150 mile mostly motorway trip home :sleepy:

theyre a great car. handling is great fun and i think the renault 2litre engine is one of the best engines out there. loads of character and sounds class.

i found mine pretty good on motorways too apart from the odd driving position. the 197 revs its nuts off at 80mph+ where the 182 is a bit better at cruising speed.

good luck with it

It's a lot better on the motorway than I thought! I'm getting used to the lack of turbo already. Took it along my favourite strip of road on the way back, it's belting! All the toys seem to work OK, no surprises from it! Will give it a quick clean and get some pics up. Will get a full polish at some point..

Glad your pleased with it mate. I'm in the same boat, I've been driving a turbo car for 3 years now. Its gonna be weird!.

glad u like it. I had a 4 hour drive to get mine home. quickest 4 hour driver ever

 

[MrTurner]

Soon! It took about 4 hours, loads of traffic (clutch took some getting used to), but it was comfy, and I realised how much I love auto-lights, and missed cruise control!

I see you're local, what stretch of road are you referring to? I'm always partial to a bit of local exploration to find a decent road to have some meaningful fun on

Now you mention it he cant be far from me.
Send me the GPS of that damn good stretch of road Turner!

 

[MrTurner]

Lol, it's not that special it needs a trip out, I just use it a lot and it has a few good bends and is uphill! It's the stretch between Kirkby and selston, up over the M1. It's good for me as I know where all the kinks, lumps, potholes are, and where you can loose traction.. Not much more than 1 mile, 50% of the time there will be someone on it.

 

[Brett]

Glad your happy with it. I fell in love with my ph1 the first time I drove it, was instant.

I think I know where you mean, my m8's mrs lives in selston & I've given him a lift a few times & had a blast around that area
