    Paint code for the Blue Gordini ?

    Can some kind soul out there look up the paint code for the Gordini Blue 200 for me ? I noticed that I picked up a big stone chip right in the middle of the bonnet at some point during the snow & I keep forgetting to order a touchup pen. Thanks - Nick.

    Whats on the menu tonight?

    Just wandering around in San Francisco trying to find somewhere to have a festive lunch - Chinatown is probably a good bet, but its absoultely chucking it down with rain here at the moment (after a couple of really nice sunny days) so it may be peanuts from the mini-bar for me this year..

    CL10 N** - Nick, Didcot Train Station

    Thats me - Have to say Mates Megane looked a lot cleaner than my Clio, which is filthy at the moment ! May get a wash this weekend if the snow disappears & the sun comes out long enough for it to dry off a bit. N.

    First weeks impressions

    I noticed around 1,400 miles that there was a distinct change for the better - more power & earlier in the rev range. Stick with it - once the snow goes ! N.

    Gordini on White wheels

    Ooooh thats probably me ! Ive been off work for a week or so with a bad foot but should be back tomorrow... unless it snows ! Will keep a look out ! Sick to death of the constant road works around there - its getting gridlocked some evenings & delaying me getting home for drinkies. Not Good...

    Gordini on White wheels

    ooh no. Thankfully the sh*ty oxfordshire roads are doing a good job of hiding the excessive blueness of my wheels under a protective layer of muck.

    Memory Stick USB Reader

    I use a 16Gb USB drive in my multifunction tunepoint thingie & it appears to find everything - I have done the update to the latest firmware. There are limits on the number of files it will allow, although I dont remember where I read that off the top of my head & it was never clear to me if...

    Number 434 ! Blimey ! Guess they have sold a load in Europe - or they are just making the numbers up as they go along..

    Clio 200 vs Megane 250

    I cant really speak for the 250 but I had a Megane R26 for three years before the Clio - as a track toy & on decent roads the Megane was great fun, far more able than my limited bravery when throwing it into the corners. As a daily driver it was a bit of a pain - the cup chassis made it quite...

    Excellent choice - Blue with the odd white bits is the only way to go..

    So tell me this..

    Whilst waiting for an accident to clear on the M25 last night after a miserable road trip in the 200 over to Essex to visit the parents, I started to wonder just what do those people that zip thru the average speed camera areas around the road works know that I dont ? I mean - there we all are...

    To cup or not to cup...?

    I went for cup on mine & I do most of my normal weekly 250 miles on B roads around here ; one of the reasons I traded in the Megane R26 was that the ride was just too hard for the p*ss poor state of the Oxfordshire back roads & the car was almost impossible to drive smoothly. Cup on the clio...

    What did you get "free" when buying your 200

    0% finance, Rather nice Gordini mats (they have blue on them - 'cos the car needs more blue) Feeble £10 in the tank + 4 miles on the clock. Also got some "free" oil which is a bit worrying ! Nick.

    'Ello 'ello

    Well you know how it is - they have these special lights in the dealers you see ... Actually I don't think the photos do the colour much of a favour - it does look better in real life. Even the blue wheel inserts. Probably. Going to miss the Xenons that I had in the R26 though - really...

    'Ello 'ello

    Picked up my Clio Gordini on Friday, which is the fourth Renault of note that I have owned: R5 Turbo (Good fun, really unreliable !) Phase1 Clio 16v (Great car, didn't miss a beat, could have used a bit more power) Megane R26 (Could be brilliant, mostly a bit too much like hard work for a...

    Thanks chaps - I try to wave unless Im asleep or hanging on for dear life ; the Gordini is hard to miss at the moment although I expect it will soon build up a protective layer of dirt from the lovely Oxfordshire roads.
