Told you, 8 pages to go.
well, if were getting all technical it was taken on a digital camera, recorded in 640x480 at 32FPS, lasting 31 seconds and weighing in at 34.5MB, outside air temp was 5 degrees with no head/tail or cross winds. The Scooby driver is my friend, he has a full UK drivers license, hes owned the car for about 8 months+ and he knows what a clutch is and cant only pilot cars whose gear lever has a D on it and only 3 selectable gears. Hes not retarded and doesnt suffer from any illness. The car is also mechanically sound. Think that just about covers everything? pmsl
Wheres Stromba?
lol, yeah, KS would love this thread!!! hehehe
i dont think its the best car in the world, but I do find it amusing how many people come on to state that its not the best hot hatch... it wont do this, it cant do that... blah blah blah... sorry, but from my own experience of my car I know that its at least as quick as a 172 in a straight line, dunno about cornering, as ive been left by enough people on the Peaks runs in all sorts of different car, but this is where road knowledge and balls play a part tho, I dont pretend to know how to get the best out of it cornering wise... although I have been shown how capable it is by a much better driver than myself (thanks 2 live for scaring me sh*tless!). Whether or not people choose to accept the fact that the Williams is still up there in every aspect is their choice, just comes as a bit more of a shock when one does go past them, or sticks to their bumper. Ask my pal, he certainly didnt expect it to be with him changing into 4th and conceded that he will get spanked when its camd and mapd. Tucks knows the score anyway, and enough people have seen the vid now to know its not just some childish story made up to impress or prove a point... although it does serve as both
stop agreeing with each other, not gonna make 10 pages that way http://www.cliosport.net/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif
Dont ya love these threads?
This is what makes ClioSport great..
Only on this forum, is it so seperated.. between Clio and Clio. Sure, some forums dont like other marques, but they dont go on like they do on here about other same-make cars. Look at, say, RS clubs.. proper communities.
16v/Williams vs "newer cars" + warrenty
172 vs Cup
V6 Mk1 vs V6 Mk2
182 vs everything which moves
The Williams, in some articles, was being compared against P1s, Ferraris, Zondas.. yet, its still crap.
*sigh*
At the end of the day, whatever car you own, you thinks great.. else you wouldnt buy it.. these threads arnt "whats best" its "What do you own??!?!??!?!?!"

Agree with Daz he knows his sh*t, you should see his whites
but it is true what he says, all are great cars in their own way, but me Im a hard man so I choose to drive without a safety net, BA and the A-Team those boys didnt have no warranty on the van. f**k that sh*t, they lived by the seat of their pants, just like me and the fellow Willy owners. If sh*t goes wrong it gets fixed, after all we all drive Renaults no Mercs
This thread rocks lol
well if i had enough cash,i would buy the r reg willy, and a v6,, purely because they have unique design features, like the bonnet vent, gold alloys, badging, interior, widearches, side vents etc... the 182 172, imo looks like every other clio... i respect what is in the engine bay on the 182 and 172, but at the end of the day the sheer exclusiveness of the v6 and williams cannot be matched...
Williams v v6 on twisties, well there is only one winner...
the same winner in the williams v v6 turn in a road competition...

Williams is 1.1 secs slower to 60 than a 182 and 3.3 secs slower to 100, so its unlikely both std a williams will out perform a 182
Polo GTi
Yeah maybe by my figures show that the 182 is only 1.1 seconds faster than a Willy when its on the back of a low loader on the way back to have its chocolate engine mounts sorted for the 3rd time.
I love my Williams.

The Williams may be the best hot hatch ever, but the 182 is the best hot hatch. The End.
Beautiful mate.....that made a tear come to my little Willys eye...lol

Nippy white cup

Yes the Williams is an icon of performance standards in its day....but reality must hit home now and people should realise that its not abit of a "Barry" car isnt it?
