top gear last night...

[DEEMUS]

did anybody watch it on DAVE (freeview)?

the clio's handing looked rather unsafe - on three wheels round a corner at high speeds?!?!

 

[TeZ]

Tripodding is the best way to have a clio.

 

[Timmay]

hell yeah!

 

[JimmyMac81]

I have experienced it in my mates car and its a little un nerving but fun all the same.

When you watch it do that though it seems quite easily done.

Top Gear on dave is kick ass

 

[Scaggeh]

Off topic I know, but any idea why it's been renamed "Dave"? Stinks of someone losing a bet to me..

 

[kiza1986]

'cos everyone in the world knows a 'DAVE'

 

[Nick_P]

:S

shows how rigid the chassis is... its certainly not a bad thing. Mine's been on 3 wheels endless times.

Yeah, gotta love his description of it. He basically slated it, as it wasn't made as well as a £250k supercar.

DAVE the home of banter................supposedly

Clios:
Like a Tripod from the day they were born:

 

[ukaskew]

The evolution of the tripod:

Only failure on the tripod front is the Vee, a number of factors are not on its side though

 

[Christopher]

LOL @ the V6 trying it's best

 

[Mikey197]

Godd effort for the V6, cant knock it for trying.

What would you feel when this occurs? The way I drive, I would have thought it has happened on numerous occassions but I have nothing confirmed.

What sort of speed do you have to be doing?

 

[Dan@SJM]

if anything you usually feel it come back down, im always tri-poding int the valver, sometimes upto 12" in the air apparently...

warp speed..

 

[Graham Gooch]

Love all those pics Mega.

 

[MarkCup]

I can't say I ever 'feel' it pick up or drop back down again.

I know it does it all the time though from Chris' pics.

 

[DEEMUS]

even the new clio tripods!!!! coooooool!!!

 

[Timmay]

good effort on the V front


watching all the clios tripod at the Reno World Series this year was cool

You can do it at 25 if the turn's sharp enough,

 

[AlexS]

Apparently I did it in the 1.2, miss that bloody car!

 

[Leeshez]

I like the piccys

 

[MarkCup]

You can do it at any speed...speed is irrelevant.

It's all in the weight transfer, pitch it in on the brakes and it'll be hanging in the breeze.

 

[Graham Gooch]

Yup.

 

[172boost]

I didn't think the time was very impressive? Maybe too many straights on the top gear track?

DAVE the home of banter................supposedly

the home of witty banter actually!

 

[StevieGreenstuff]

Looks like there's a fair few bi-podding's going on in those pics too...
