V6 clio at halfords in taunton



  182/RS2/ Turbo/Mk1
Small world.

Yes it was about an hour ago and it was indeed a silver phase one.

Reg was V6 ***


Was my mrs who spotted it but she mentioned it on the phone a few mins ago when I was talking to her, she was the one there in our phase 2.
 
  Clio V6
Yup, definitely me then. I was buying it a Christmas prezzie from Halfrauds :)

Nice to know there's some more Taunton people on here.
 
  182/RS2/ Turbo/Mk1
Yeah ive not seen many clio sports about these parts, and even less so a v6 one, certainly cant be many of those about :)
 
  Clio V6
Nope, I'm not aware of any other owners in these parts although I've spotted a few this year in and around the town. It's good to be in an exclusive club :)
 
  182/RS2/ Turbo/Mk1
Yeah its certainly an exclusive club all right!

Do you go to any of the local meets? I've not been on the forum long so havent done yet but probably will in the new year if there are any.

Just the Cooper S mate. Dark Grey, black roof and mirrors. My Mrs often drives it too.

You?
 
  Clio V6
Didn't think I drove it enough to spotted often, only done 1,000 miles in 6 months but then I guess quite a few short journeys here and there add up :)

I go to the odd V6 meet (they are epic), usually make FCS and am planning to do a few Cliosport SouthWest meets next year. Always up for tyre kick or detail :)

Is it the early supercharged one or a turbo one?

At the moment we have:
black clio 172 the mrs uses as a daily
bog standard blue corsa c I use as a daily
red corsa b with xe on throttle bodies
3 door sierra (the old whale tail ones)
mid engined nova
v6 4wd calibra
blue mk1 clio with F7r williams engine and custom inlet

Got a few other vehicles as well, including our beloved yellow mk1 that is off the road for a vtec conversion, but nothing else that you'd have seen driving about and even a couple of those above Ive not driven for a while.

My mrs is pretty into detailing but must admit ive little interest in it myself.
I'll probably go to FCS this year as im owed some free tickets for some work Ive done for them, is there normally a convoy up from down this way, always good fun going in a group :)

Loving the car collection, where do you keep them all?

I've not convoyed there before but you usually end up blasting it up the M5 with other randoms. Been in some epic V6 meet convoys though:

Not all in one place sadly, got a few at my parents, one normally at my place, a couple at a mates farm, a couple just parked on the road near my parents place and ive also got some other cars not on that list (couple of oldskool minis, 1 a series and 1 with a vauxhall engine) that are in paid storage currently.

Would love a big enough garage to put them all in but sadly not an option financially for me currently.

Ed didn't think you were from Taunton, I'm back now and again when the military like to give me some time off. Picked up a 200 last week to add to the 197 and exclusive 'exclusive 172' it's been TDF'd. Lol But looks like the 172 will have to go next year as the mrs advised me if that's the best way to say it.
 
  Clio V6
Christ, we live in a affluent area. At least 3 cars per household here :)

What colour is the 200 and 197?
 
  M135i, 118 coupe
200 is storm grey black wheels 197 is nimbus black wheels. Normally depends which I bring home from Germany.

Wouldnt mind getting the 172 to a meet before it goes in the summer. Looking at the market I'm not going to get much back from it but it's been fun.
 
  182/RS2/ Turbo/Mk1
I cant see much point in selling a 172 unless its literally in the way, not the way prices are now, cant think of much you can buy for 1500 quid or whatever that will be as much fun.
Well not unless you count drugs and hookers, lol
 
  Clio V6
Liam, I'd be happy to exchange a ride in the Vee for a photo session of it with your 172. Ideally I'm after an Iceburg but an Exclusive will do :)

Won't be selling to replace it more to move on as have the 197 as a toy now and the 200 as a day to day.

I do know I won't be spending money on cars again. The last bill I had was for over 2k and the car does not have bodies.

How did you manage to end up with a bill of 2k?

Thats quite a lot to be spending on a 172, you should have just weighed it in probably unless its something really special, lol
 
  M135i, 118 coupe
I know live and learn didn't plan on selling it and wanted it all spot on.

Things such as
4 new tyres
Rear calliper
Rear discs and pads
Full Cam belt aux ect
Water pump
Cat cams
Mapping
Puremotorsport air con delete kit and lighten crank pulley
Oil change
Wheel alignment and camber set up
Harnesses bought and installed

That's just off the top of my head lol

Mat at TDF told me its a strong engine made 189 with only cams no other mods
 
  182/RS2/ Turbo/Mk1
Ah, I thought you meant just one repair bill.

Personally, I would keep that for the fun trackday car and sell the 197.
Its probably quicker than the 197? As its certainly a lot cheaper to crash into the armco, cheaper on tyres etc too.
 
  M135i, 118 coupe
Yeah it's silly quick.

Share the other two with the mrs as well so need that bit of comfort in the 197 so it can still be used.

Will see in the summer if I'm going to sell.
