Welcome to the club mate 👍🏻I’m fairly new to the group. I’ve gotta say, the replies have made me smile. Poor old Derek in his UP is a highlight. I should hang out here more 😂
Ironically, my daily was an M140 for 3 years. Now it's a generic German estate diesel...and the Clio.Welcome to CS. What are you driving? Clio or BMW?
It can be entertaining on here. Especially if your first post is along the lines of " what have you beaten in your 182".
Youll also find alot of useful people who can help out if you have any problems.
now I'm torn what to do.
I know of someone who beat a Fabia VRS
I live in Northampton, but, have a small cottage I'm renovating in Corwen, on the edge of Snowdonia. I lived in Betws-Y-Coed for yesrs so know North Wales well. Whereabouts are you?I'd slap a cheap Chinese turbo on it, boost till at least 300bhp and see if you can find any more Dereks out there.
And get pics of the Petrol Blue up ASAP! Not based near North Wales by any chance for a PB photoshoot?
I got dusted by a polo GTI in mine. Some kid up my arse off a roundabout one night, “ha, I’ll show you junior”... thing just sailed passed me when I was at full chat up the bypass.
Seemed odd to me at first as I’m old and a polo was always a slow old woman’s car, but they’ve been turbo for a while so could have been decent power I guess.
300hp is very cheap and easily attainable in those b******s!
Your PB looks great! Would be great to get all of our PB's together for a few pictures!I live in Northampton, but, have a small cottage I'm renovating in Corwen, on the edge of Snowdonia. I lived in Betws-Y-Coed for yesrs so know North Wales well. Whereabouts are you?
I plan on going back to Wales in the Clio this week and get some good pics while I'm there. In the meantime, here it is after its service....
My mates got one, it’s 190bhp standard I believe, it goes well and handles superbly. Apparently easily tuned for very little cost!Let’s hope it wasn’t a 1.2 with a GTI badge then. Seemed pretty rapid though (and my little 172 goes ok, 185bhp)
Liar, you finally get it running and then rebuild it again👀😂YES

This. 110%.I didn’t think Clio’s could beat anything these days, apart from yourself into financial submission?
I don't understand comments like these as they aren't particularly expensive to run/fix?I didn’t think Clio’s could beat anything these days, apart from yourself into financial submission?
Don't forget the DSG fartbox with the stomp & go driving mentality saving the driver any third pedal and manual change issues.I got dusted by a polo GTI in mine.

Unless you mean spending money on mods?
Its subjective. I just bought a 182 last week and sold it within 4 days, that needed about £1200 spent on it.
I'm still not sure I understand. Was it a lot of work? Are you saying they're money pits?Its subjective. I just bought a 182 last week and sold it within 4 days, that needed about £1200 spent on it.
