What do you do when you come up behind another Clio RS on the road?

[John Gordon]

I'm not going to turn this into a "i raced this and bla bla" kinda thread, however I came up behind another PH1 Rs today after taking mine to the garage to check air pressures now that the snow is gone. I instantly got excited, checked for the signs that it was a proper RS, then proceeded to pull along side (dual carriageway) and hope the young whipper snapper would notice mine too! (sounds rather gay). He noticed me also and seemed to be just as excited and we had a brief play as he then turned off for a petrol station (probably to check tyre pressures)

How do you react seeing another on the road, do you get excited and instantly want to errr.. share the mutual appreciation with a fellow owner? Or.. do i need to grow up?

 

[Scotty-boi]

I always wave or nod. But never anything more!

 

[Knuckles]

I get really giddy, overtake/undertake everything to get along side... Flash lights, wave, nod and get greeted by a middle aged lady with no idea what she's driving. Then I get embarrassed and smoke em

I don't like typing this however I really did LOL.

 

[NFox]

I give the nod of approval, sometimes a flash of the lights, then get on with my day.

 

[McGherkin]

First one to look away loses.


I only wave etc if it's someone I know.

Glad haha

 

[John Gordon]

Can't bring myself to wave, there is a cheesy nod though.

 

[Harpham]

Ram them.

 

[Aydon182]

Hurl abuse.

 

[johnnyd]

I suggest hand jobs or at least a dutch rudder. No takers yet though.

 

[jesus]

as he then turned off for a petrol station (probably to check tyre pressures)

...or get petrol maybe?

I don't do anything when I see another RS. When I get home though, I open the 'spotted' section on CS and sit refreshing it every 5 seconds until I become exhausted and fall asleep.

 

[cafcross]

Pull over and sell my car. I don't want to drive something that's so common.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

I used to wave but after getting some funny looks i don't bother.

 

[clio37]

I spot them all the time no one waves back or flashes. Normally looks like they dont even care what car there in!!
Including mine theres often 4 on my road none have waved or said hello and two have Cs tax disc holders

 

[JackJack]

Nothing.

nah, surely he can't have been getting petrol at a petrol station.... he must have been checking his tyre pressures....

and I actually do the second part!

 

[Cowbwoy]

It all depends on the driver, it's an older driver uninterested in the car they drive I ignore. If it's a younger driver I generally look for the CS sticker, a nod maybe but that's it.

 

[terryc101]

I tell them they should've bought an Evo.

 

[mitch1503]

nod occasionally, had quite a few people give me the thumbs up or a flash of the hazards etc

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

Hurl abuse.

Remind us again why you are on CS?

You don't like Clios! And you don't like anyone who owns one?

 

[DaveDreads]

I force them of the road.

Tbh I stopped doing anything quite some time ago because I just kept getting blank looks,
so I only wave if I see a CS sticker, even then I still get blank looks most of the time.

I came to the conclusion that only a very small amount of people are members of CS,
so you're basically waving at someone that doesn't give a sh*t about owning an RS Clio,
to them it's just a Clio with a 2.0L engine.

This is even more common with the 197s and 200s,
they just went into the showroom and bought the 'sporty' model.

Just can't seem to help himself

 

[danward]

I've never seen one that didn't belong to someone I already know. One day I will be spotted. One day.

Should try this one next time!

[TheEvilGiraffe]

What do you do when you come up behind another Clio RS on the road?

Drop a cog and boost past.

 

[scotty10]

i have a quick glance but thats it....but you get the ones where they a 197 and think their better than you 172/182 all the way

 

[Dave..]

I develop a superiority complex, and proceed to shake my head while boosting past.

 

[Siddle]

I always forget to wave/nod/flash, then feel like a tosser when I realise I've ignored them.

 

[Aydon182]

Another Clio? On a dual carriageway cruising at 50, old lady driving?

 

[sam_clio182]

This or sometimes a burning desire too put the foot down

 

[CrippsCorner]

Usually stop and offer oral sex.

 

[Ezra-RS]

Never seen another 172/182 on the road.. Maybe not a lot here in Holland. Will go crazy though, first time I'll see one.

 

[DanDare]

I don't do anything as I'm old & wise(ish) :rasp:

 

[Caekii]

I usually flash... then I use the headlights.

 

[RNEB]

I thought acknowledging another RS by waving or nodding was a good idea until I got parred off by an RS driver a couple of days ago who didn't want to do the same when we past each other in traffic (our cars were level with each others too !)

 

[Richyy182]

I nod

 

[Andyk1801]

Flash them, with my **** not my lights. Get a little excited but as said normally see a middle aged woman driving them become instantly disheartened and drive off flat out in the hope they realise that this is what it was designed for

 

[Adam G]

Where are these middle aged women? Let me at em.
