    Insurance have taken a years no claims off me.

    I expect they will be treating it as an accident, rather than a claim. Which of course they wouldn't think twice about increasing your premium.

    megane 250/265 owners

    i'd say if you can run a 197 foxspeed then you'll be fine with the meg. I've found I get around the same for the normal commute 28-29, a bit better than the clio if you are on a run (over 30 and often 35+ if you are easy on the right foot - whereas it was pretty difficult to break 30mpg and keep...

    Have I outgrown my clio? Confused feelings! Haha

    I had this feeling and ended up "growing up" into a meg 250 (ff+Cup).. as a daily - yes it looks more grown up / much less 'chav car' comments / easier to live with on a daily basis / still immensely capable and puts a smile on my face when you get the right road at the right time... but....

    Do they fit in standard Clios ? would be a great upgrade for a 1.2 . I had some valver seats in my old mk 1 rt, think I paid about 100 for a full interior from a breakers. That was prob 15 yrs ago tho!!

    197: Whats it worth? 57 R27

    I thought there used to be a guaging interest option in the for sale section, but I couldn't find reference to it.. I'm thinking of selling the Clio and joining the Meg club. Unsure about whether I'll trade it in, or sell it privately. Bought from Steve at RSport cars I've owned it...
