Had a Clio 172 cup for a year and a half and loved it, then had a chance to get my hands on a cammed rb 182 for a good price, I'd always wanted an rb and with the cams I thought it would be a nice change, so I bought that and then sold the cup but it never felt as fast as cup did for some reason so I was never fully happy with it.
I kept it for a year then sold it on for a modified mk1 focus rs which has proven to be amazingly fast and capable in terms of performance, but equally unreliable.
I've now changed jobs and got a passat tdi estate for work and retired the focus as a toy so I'll have to see how we get along this summer.
