Some pics from Saturday's Lakes outing

[Darren S]

No credit at all to me - I was driving! Dunc was the photographer-biatch for the day - in the passenger seat of Shaun's V6.

A great run out on some superb roads. Attracted a lot of attention - especially in the more urban areas.

The little 182 more than held its own on the open roads though. :approve:

Having said that mate, v6's look tiny compared with a 197!

Fantastic pics, i would love to feel the buzz u get when passing people whilst they're looking at all the cars.

^^ that is a rediculous thing to say! v6's are still wayyy bigger than the 197's. v6 meets must get the most looks of any other!! Brilliant!

 

[Hazza]

I didn't say they 197s ARE bigger, i said they LOOK bigger.

 

[Timmay]

so many V - ive just come

 

[C.J]

^^^ LOL the 172s look even smaller against the 197. Never realised that.

If I'm ever rich I'm going to get a V6. Good photos.. roads look so much fun!

 

[TimMB]

PMSL. Bloody brilliant, the look of that kids face. Must be an awe inspiring sight!

They were indeed m8. I honestly would say that for the most part, I would have preferred to drive my 182 than a V6 up there.

The lack of instant low-down torque is the 182's biggest issue - especially coming out of a corner and even more so on an incline. It just cannot compete with a Vee on those terms. It is however, a lot more chuckable and far more forgiving. It never scared me once and you never feel like you're driving right on the ragged-edge with it. Just enjoying the car, the roads and the scenery!

Well as things stand I own 95% standard 9-year old 1.6, so anything that's a step-up is welcome in my eyes. I think it's far more realistic for me to aim for a 172 and I'm sure that it will be no less fun than the Vee.

Most people will agree that, for all it's shortcomings, the aspect that attracts most enthusiasts to the Clio is the fun you can have driving one and that's not restricted to any particular model. The roll on mine is a little scary, but it's easily sorted! The 1*2's are certainly a good balance of driveability and power from what I've read.

Still.. to have that many V6's together isn't something you see every day!
