The Spec on Your Car

[K@mpso]

Just changed the car last week and for the first time I'm enjoying the benefit of Power Steering, Remote Central Locking, CD Player, Heated Windscreen etc etc.

What features could you just not do without???

[BARNETFAN1]

Wheels.

[Athers]

erm...1.2 60bhp approx 800kg clio

with erm...none of what you've got kampso. plug my minidisc player into my standard tape player :laugh:

[KevCass]

The only thing that I couldn't really do without is Power Assisted Steering.

I'm actually picking my new car up tonight. New one has Central locking, alloy wheels, ABS, Air Con, power steering and electric windows, all of which I have never had before. To answer your question though it has to be the stereo.

My present car is the first one I've ever had with traction control, it's very handy when driving like a fool . . .

Item I couldn't do without though is definitely the stereo . . .

My old man just bought a xedos

ABS pairs very well with that. together they have saved my arse more than once, when as you say, I've been driving like a fool.
Feature that I WILL NOT do without ever again is AC.

The priceless insect collection on the front end.

The only mod cons I've ever had the pleasure of are a cigarette lighter out of a Nova and the cool breeze of a Fiesta radiator. :laugh:
New motor in the summer though, so that'll all change ..

Did have a lovely big £500 ICE install though,
until it all got chored on New Years Day, theiving ****e*s.

[PNEmySOUL]

a head job by the wife as your driving along:clap:

[slimref]

on a bumpy road in the outback there then PNE??

[LF_SW6]

Could be painful.

Well got Power Assisted steering, 1.4 clio sports engine, 6 CD changer in the boot, thumb controls for my radio/cd/tape, alloys, bucket seating sports dashboard etc! (Clio 1.4 Sport, 2000)

[LF_SW6]

Next up, a Clio V6. ;)

[ourkid]

bah... loada shite... its bigger better brother the Clio 172 2003 edition wipes the floor with it for manageability (V6 is too heavy at the back, whereas the F1 designed engine in the 172 doesnt need the back seats and handles like a dream) and yeah, 60 bhp lower, but the weight reduction makes up for it

[LF_SW6]

Not a massive Renault fan, so wouldn't know too much about the specs really, but for sheer power and head turning, the little Clio with a 24V 2.5 lump has gotta be admired in anyones books.

The insurance however is a different story !

I went to Southend Cruise last weekend with the bird and a few mates. Some nutter had a Clio V6, not only had he dropped it about -40mm, the nutter had nitrous injection set up in it :laugh:

That would rocket ...

[ourkid]

yeah my insurance for a 172 is £2200 (cat 15e) and for my 1.4s £1100 (cat 3e)..

All i know really is from what i read, the V6 handles very badly apparently and the 172 is apparently a dream or as Baz would say 'Like shit off a shovel'

Anytime ourkid, anytime . . . :laugh:

1.4 ? Pah !

:p

[LF_SW6]

£2,200, !! How old are you ? Any NCB ?

Or is insurance in NI even more a rip off than it is over here ?

[PNEmySOUL]

bumpy yes! but not painfull if she takes her teeth out:D
