    Hi from sunny Essex

    Welcome along. Plenty of older members on here. I'm significantly older than you at 58, & I'm nowhere near the oldest here. These Clios do hark back to the glory days of hot hatches. I love the revvy nature of the naturally aspirated engine and the chassis' handing. Enjoy your Silverstone...

    Sorry for the pain! I wasn't over bothered or I'd have mentioned it before, but it might as well be right. Cheers Jimmy.

    Clio 197 Ultra Red 2007 from Finland. April, time to start driving.

    I agree that you should not reduce the price Antti. Maybe you are meant to keep the car! Happy New Year to you.

    Tyres for Winter

    I'm with @Antti O. Michelin PS4 are excellent both in the dry & in the wet. As one tyre for all year round use they're great. Don't know about snow, but if you don't want to go down the winter tyre route I'd be using PS4.

    Looking At Buying A RS200

    :french:Welcome in! A couple of things to watch are to check that cam belt has been changed if due. Listen for crunching on 3rd & 4th gears as synchros can be a weak point, but it's a bit of a lottery tbh. Worth considering upgrading to Powerflex engine mount bushes as these can save manifold...

    Tyres and winter.

    Yeah, I run PS4 in the summer & my winters once the weather is below 7 Celsius most of the day. Winter tyres lose their snow grip effectiveness once tread is below 3mm. In some European countries where Winter tyres are mandatory they have to have at least 3mm tread. There's at least one European...

    You'll find the PS4 are great in the wet Ben. I had no issues with mine when we all went to Spa. I also rate them in the dry. Best all round tyre imho.

    Tyres and winter.

    Yeagh, interesting topic. I don't understand why you would put really cheap tyres on such a car. There are perfectly acceptable mid range tyres available if you're on a budget but I like my Michelin PS4. Was also happy with my previous Continental Sport Contac 5, but I think things have moved...
