"the courtesy car while my 993 is being serviced"

 

[Willis]

Renaultsport 197. Or if they don't look like a car person, Clio 197.

I've had to correct people who call it a ''192'' at least 5 times. :huh:

Personally, I call her Nicole. And she calls me Papa.

I normally just say a Clio..? Just think people are bragging when they say anything more. I know its a car to brag about But Clio is a simple term.

 

[clio200cup]

i used clio when i was waiting for mine, then people saw it today

hahaha

 

[Clio*Nick]

I say a RenaultSport Clio 197 and everyone just gives me the look of confusion and then go, "oh whats that then? a 1.4?"

 

[Mike Roberts]

The ****ty French clutter. Undersell FTW.

 

[Willis]

^^^ That's what it gets called where I take it for work and servicing (Ford ST/RS Specialist). She's fondly known as; ''The little French bitch that Dave hates''... Dave, the mechanic who had the misfortune of having to remove the seized front pins and pads and spent an hour swearing and bleeding hahaha!!!

 

[Klinck]

I just call mine a 197. Followed by "what?"

 

[Robo_#1]

[BenW]

I go with Renaultsport Clio. People just have no idea what you're saying if you say clio 197!

 

[TwingoGeekeo]

Just use the numbers

 

[RalphyBMW]

I address mine as "mi'lady"

 

[porsche_gregory]

Just use the numbers

197 27, that would diffinately confuse people haha !!

So from what i gather most answer with ReanultSport, 197, R27 or F1 Team, are usually re-questioned with "whats one of them??"
