    My Clio has gone - hopefully to a good home!

    3 weeks on & I still miss my RS200 but things are going well with the TT - driving to & from work easily returns 44mpg which was the stuff of dreams in the RS200 & the car is running nicely! I'd not realised how sporty the Audi TFSI engines sound when you press on - there is a very definite...

    FAO N0ddie - Blown BRZ (STI)

    I went to test drive the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86 and I was horrified at the nice looking but very cheap interior! I'd expect better for £27,000!!

    Hi guys went and drove this

    The M3 must be an epic car but running costs are bound to be huge! My 325ci M-Sport was bad enough but you only live once....!! :)

    Renault v Ford

    The ST is getting rave reviews but I saw one on the road a few days ago & it looks too tall, too narrow & too much like a Zetec S... I agree that a truly special RS would have been worth waiting for...

    My Clio has gone - hopefully to a good home!

    I have to say that I had 24,000 miles of very reliable motoring with the RS200! The only annoyance was a persistent rattle from the tailgate & an air-conditioning system that wouldn't stay gassed even though it checked out as being leak-tight!

    My Clio has gone - hopefully to a good home!

    The TT is a very, very different car but huge fun even with the 160PS 1.8 TFSI engine. The 7-speed, twin clutch 'box, the significant torque from 1500rpm & the lightweight steel/aluminium body make sure of that! I thought the Clio was actually quite well built but the TT is in a different...

    My Clio has gone - hopefully to a good home!

    Sadly for me it was my advancing years and the long-term effects of a nasty accident in the ST170 that I owned back in 2003 making an automatic essential and sadly for Renault the new RS200 EDC is simply not worth the £22,000 that it would cost in the only colour worth considering (LY).... :(

    I agree totally but when the salesman grabbed the cloth I thought "I know what is hiding under there....." :-D

    My Clio has gone - hopefully to a good home!

    This still makes me chuckle - I'm sure the nice coffee is not paid for by the mugs (!) who buy the cars......?!??

    My Clio has gone - hopefully to a good home!

    I probably went a bit crazy with the options but what is not to like about a 12-speaker BOSE audio system? And while I'm at it - why the hell did Renault stop fitting Xenon headlights to the RS Clio?!?

    My Clio has gone - hopefully to a good home!

    Thanks Kevin - its funny that neither of has an RS200 now!! Your Megane is a stunner and I was sooo grateful for the bottle of cold water last weekend!! :)

    They did indeed but I struggled to keep a straight face!!! :)

    My Clio has gone - hopefully to a good home!

    A change in circumstances forced me to change car and I am now the proud owner of a brand new 1.8 TFSI Audi TT S-Line with the fabulous 7-speed S-Tronic dual clutch automatic transmission... My Clio went in part exchange and I am very happy with the deal that I was able to strike. I am also...

    JapFest/Hothatch day at Knockhill

    That won't polish out!!! I'm guessing the lad that bought the Scooby had a 'red mist' moment on track... :(

    Splash tray - a bit missing!!

    OK - so it looks like the small lip has been snapped off...maybe by a glancing blow from a speedbump or the baby rabbit that went under my car a few weeks ago!! I'm pretty sure the 'hole' is underneath the gearbox! Thanks for the reassurance!!

    Splash tray - a bit missing!!

    I noticed today that there was plastic hanging from the bottom of my car as I walked away from it. Closer inspection revealed that there is a small plastic panel underneath the engine that has totally disappeared (!) and the plastic behind it has snapped allowing a strip of it to hang loose. Has...

    Worst place you have had to take a dump?

    I'm sure you've popped one out too! This cannot be a 'men only' activity?!? :omg:
