Random thread bump. Ratters, I sold the car to devilDamo on here mid last year I think - I didnt ever replace or clean the grilles up but I know the new owner replaced them with new items.

Having owned a number of Renaultsport Clio's, I was wondering if anyone knew the whereabouts of my first 197? Purchased New from Renault Southampton (as was) in March 2008 and sold 14months later via auction to be replaced with a 2006/55 A3 S-Line Quattro. Completely standard car, no...

That Tag is nigh on £5k isn't it? New or used Sub? Most second hand dealers are floating at £4k for a very good used example. I have recently sold 2 Omega planetoceans (orange bezel, metal bracelet / black bezel, leather bracelet) but still have; Tag heuer formula 1 chrono U-Boat flightdeck...

It drives really well, although its not particularly quick in my honest opinion. Yes, it's fast and pulls in most gears but it's a lazy if that makes sense? The noise it makes is lovely and it certainly turns heads, although the steering is lighter than I would like which can be unnerving at...

Just a brief update on the car - although no new pictures... I have now had the following done; - Wheels acid dipped, blasted and refurbished in like for like colour. - Major Service completed at main dealer - New Roof rod replaced as one was stretched - New fuel filler cap -...

Thanks, and yes i intend to keep the thread updated

Darren, the IMS is a topic I have researched. I will be checking with the OPC week after next. I was going to use an indy, although I have a good relationship with a main dealer so financially I am better to use the OPC.

People forget that it was a £40k+ car, so the running costs are proportianate to that. I dont think the Porsche will suffer like the E46 M3 has done i.e. reasonable second hand prices that make it accessible to the masses and then any routine servicing and costs are ignored or corners cut...

Add £300 per tyre into the mix aswell.

I didn't buy it expecting to handle like the Clio?

TBH, I havent paid too much notice to the fuel use. The girlfriend uses it daily and we only now need to fill it up after brimming it on 2nd June. She has probably covered 250 miles since then?

As some people may know, I recently bought myself a new car. The Clio 197 although fun, wasnt what I really wanted so it was sold a little over 2 months after buying it. I had wanted a Boxster for a little while, and decided now was the time to get one. My must have specifications were; -...

Looking good
