... =(


The guy who owns it is about 65, and uses it to cart his garden equipment about. I can imagine the conversation at the Renault garage;

Old dude: Yeah, I need something to cart my garden crap about
Renault: How about a trusty clio?! (blocking the custs vision of the kangoos)
Old dude: Well okay, I need it in postbox red, no other colour is worthy of my ownership
Renault: Well... to be honest, we only have this Renault Sport Clio Trophy. It's 1 of 400, limited edition top of the range. If you have a look at the gorgeous int..
Old dude: I'll take it, it's red ain't it? (turns to wife) ...aint it? Add a towbar for me, and don't worry about the stonechips, our 56 children will be running around it throwing rocks at each other anyway, you know what kids are like.

:headno: thts jus so wrong!

 

[Peperami]

Lol, he probably asked for a clio, wanted a nippy one for towing, and liked the seats! Sooo many old people own ctr's near me.

 

[kully]

1 of 500 bro ........but omfg .................

 

[polarbert]

1 of 525 actually.

 

[polarbert]

And I really don't understand how you fit a towbar to a 182.

 

[SoA2k6]

I would bet the rest of my wages for the rest of my life that he's never been over 3,000 revs, or 60mph. And that's if and when he uses it.

 

[Alan]

I didn´t think you could put a tow bar on a 182 because of the exhaust?

 

[Adamhodg]

leave a note on the windscreen saying "wtf are u usin a soon to be (if not already) collectors car to tow a trailor with. Get urself a laguna but jus dont do it on a special edition bloody clio"

 

[GarethM]

shocking!! lol

[Guy]

[Peperami]

End of the day, everyones entitled to own whatever car they like. Theres probably plenty of people that think some of you guys dont drive your cars hard/ often enough.

Plenty of cars in the world to go round guys!

 

[al]

OMFG!!! aaaaaaggghhhhhh!!!!!! :S

Guy is right tho, doesn't have a stated towing weight in the handbook on any RS.

 

[rory182]

yeah totally illegal, if he gets pulled its marked on the engine plate zero tow rating, fool!

whoever fitted it is a cowboy and how the fook is it strong enough?! butchers

Miss you dan!!

 

[SoA2k6]

It's probably attatched with MDF and duct tape.

 

[davebem]

Yeah isnt there something that doesnt allow 182s to tow, they are not certified for it, Im sure I read it before somewhere on this forum. So it will invalidate his insurance etc

 

[Peperami]

Miss you dan!!

Bless ya bubs. me too! hehe

 

[jonnyqango]
