Haha the best description of a Clio I’ve seen in a long time!

Haha if ever there was a statement to fill you with optimism!

In my first winter of ownership I was adamant my gearbox was done for! First 5 minutes of the drive it’d be so stiff to navigate around the box, and saw it as a genuine issue! As soon as the climate warmed up, all was perfect! I’ve had this kind of behaviour for the last two winters now, but...

Started against in Suffolk around 3ish till 9pm, a nice fresh layer of snow on the road! As far as the forecast is suggesting that’s the end of it now for us!

(Slightly off topic from the snow, apologies!) A very good point! My cousin is a huge bodywork enthusiast, and manage to salvage a nasty scuff mark after someone’s bumper caught me! I’m on holiday for 2 weeks to Florida shortly, and he’s using a chipex kit to fill in a nasty stonechip on...

Haha the two bucket technique is already in full operation, albeit guilty for using the dregs to do the wheels at the end (you’re saying I’m going to have to buy another bucket now!!!)

Amen to this! Clio’s seem to have a severe dislike to the cold, and what may seem a problem one day can vanish the next! Hopefully it doesn’t give you anymore grief, otherwise the thread you linked earlier seems pretty much as you’ve described

I really need to expand my knowledge past a bucket of water and some turtlewax! Especially If I want to look after my bodywork! Mine looks disgusting, the brown slushed snow all nicely wedged in the front wing!

Sympathies to yourself and @Micah this week for the few hours your cars remained clean! Not to worry, soon be summer... maybe!

And your Clio looked so shiny when I saw it on your project thread earlier! Reckon another cleaning session will be due after all this?!

Haha you have every right to be smug! Winter tyres would be a blessing!

Good to hear from you Shuv, hope all is well with yourself! Starting with your Clio! I’ve seen your car a handful of times in the flesh, it comes across as a work of art! Visually - looks fantastic, sound - awesome, and the interior/engine bay having them personal touches which compliment the...

You mean there’s been snowfall and the north’s not had a piece of the action?? Don’t believe you, fake news!

Hope you all had your brushes at the ready this morning!

Big thanks @R27WTF for highlighting this service! Managed to book a collection on Wednesday feom @Benno, who also deserves a big thank you for collecting and checking over these rims!

Oh wow, I used Shiply which gathers quotes based on an eBay item number, but that’s definitely top trumped the lot! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Thanks mate, had a few quotes come in at around £50ish, which would be about right considering the distance!

I’ve had this during my years of ownership, release the clutch in first, roll a meter or two then fairly low clunk... definitely part of the character, I don’t even notice it now!

I’ve slid into your DM’s on Facebook ;)

Haha you cheeky soul, albeit a fair comment!! Been dying for a good refurb, so hopefully now I can get it done!
