    My 197 cup..

    Bought my 197 last Thursday and can't get enough of it! It's such a good example, not a mark on the whole car, in and out. Been on a road trip to Bristol and outer London, drove great the whole trip, my satnav for some reason always likes to take me on little back road short-cuts, which used to...

    Air con, how necessary is it!?

    Well i'm officially a 197 owner!! The car was incredible! Absolutely spotless, not a stone chip on it! Inside was also spot on, no wear on the seats, ipod connection as well! Much more enjoyable driving with the aircon. Only 14,000 miles on the clock as well, so I'm chuffed! Picking it up...

    Air con, how necessary is it!?

    It is actually £1k cheaper than the one with a/c i'm looking at, although the other one has also done 5,000 less miles, so it's probably about right. Here's the car.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2008-08-RENNAULT-CLIO-2-0-197-CUP-WHITE-/310237191375?pt=Automobiles_UK Hopefully it'l be hot on Monday...

    Air con, how necessary is it!?

    I'm planning on getting a 197 cup soon, there's a well priced one up for sale at the moment which I'm going to look at on Monday, but it doesn't have air con. Seems like it was a pretty popular extra as most the cups have it! Anyone have a cup, or been in a cup, which doesn't have air con...

    Santa Pod Quarter Mile times...

    I hate the jet car!! Takes about 10 minutes to get it started so it can do a 6second quarter mile! 13.49's rapid! What other mods bar nitro were you running? I managed to scrape into 13's in my 106 with a time of 13.997!
