Unsure if this is the correct section for this, but I'll stick it in here anyway! 
As some of you are aware, I recently sold the Clio, and was in the process of getting a new car.
Well..
We set off at 5:50 yesterday morning, and arrived at our destination at 11:45, approx 335 miles later.
Viewed the car, said yes, signed the documentation etc etc. And I was then the new owner of this:
The best bit for me: (I don't like mileage!)
Another 335 miles later, I finally got her home.
The trip, from Poole to Houghton-le-Spring and back took approximately 13 hours in it's entirety.
A very long journey, but in my eyes was very worth it!
Absolutely love the car, so smooth in it's power delivery. No rattles/knocks/bangs. Everything seems to be perfect with it at the moment!
The only problem is it needs it's cambelt doing as its still on the original, so is overdue. This is in the process of being booked into K-Tec for the following work:
Cambelt + Tensioners
Waterpump
Aux belt + tensioners
Coolant change
Goodridge brake lines + flush with "Castrol React Dot 4"
That's it for now!
Definitely have some plans for it, such as removal of all of the stickers. I do not like them and think they "cheapen" the car.
I also hate the numberplates with the Renault symbol, so I have ordered some newuns from Fancyplates!
Brembo's are also needing some TLC, as someone has stick a red Brembo sticker over the black one.. Meh.
It's a bigger, faster, and in my eyes, more fun version of a Clio. I love it!
Enjoy
