Cheese and rice you sound like an old man Gav!! Whoever souped up an engine and prioritised reliability?? I’m such a child:grinning:

Renault escalation at its finest:tired: Hope your wheels are sealed mate cos them W5’s are brutal with the old deposits! Stop like crazy mind….

Yes. It’s brilliant for b road blasting. Probably the best setup as you get less skipping of the front tyres

Sad update I’ve sold the Clio. Had a terrible few weeks with my father in law dying quite quickly and my wife going mental. Decided I’d had enough of the Clio and sold it cheap. I hate selling stuff so always err on the side of quick sale over maximum return but I think I was way low seeing the...

That’s what I was trying to say but I’m shit with the old words:grimacing:

Thruxton May 4th or Snetterton May 25th:thumb:

This is good. Playing devils advocate here but what happens when you can’t break through that 2:18 barrier at Snetterton (plucked that number out my arse!). You say you’re content with the pace of the Clio but you’ll then go and buy upgrades to make it ultimately faster. Why? Because you want to...

Possibly sounded defensive lol. As I’ve told most people I’ve met, if I could do it all again I’d stay standard power and do the tighter twistier circuits. But hindsight is a wonderful thing

I agree with most of this but circumstances were slightly different in my case. I’d already had plenty of experience of 200hp trackdays and was getting a little bit bored when my gearbox and engine started playing up. Rather than spend a chunk of money fixing I went with a meglio setup and...

Lend us two grand then! There’s a reason I’ve never been and it’s in the picture below. When I recovered from said trauma level pelvic injuries I treated myself to the Clio as YOLO etc. But riding in that car in bucket seats for however many hours to the ring feels me with dread mate not...

At the minute I think that I’d be ok without a toy/weekend car. A break from it would be a good test of that. With all my hobbies over the years (football, golf, greyhounds) they’ve had similar lifespans to the 8yrs I’ve owned the car. I was really hoping that it’d be a father/son project but...

I liken it to sleeping with the wife for 25yrs. It’s still good but it ain’t as great as when you first started out. Bodywork has faded, few age related marks. You’re tired and your back hurts after riding in it….!

I’ll check and get back to you. Sorry I missed this

Aye that’s special when you’re nip and tuck on track with evenly matched cars but I’m in the wilderness when it comes to that which is my own fault admittedly! Is them few hours a year worth the aggro and expenditure though? Debatable

Not much happening car wise and it’s these moments when I contemplate what I’m doing owning the car still. I took it out Easter Sunday and had a spirited drive but as good as the car is it’s beginning to thrill me less. I’m sure that’s human nature. Does anyone else have these thoughts? I’m mid...

Petrol and matches. Torch it if you bin it. Cadge a lift home and say it was stolen:thumb: Imodium. No explanation needed

Looks purposeful that
