Did anyone read it?

There was an article on the new BP Ultimate 102RON fuel, and when it went on sale across six forecourts the times went down to one station and checked it out for 48hours.

Apparently only a few put any in, only small amounts too.

One of which was a Williams Clio.....anyone of here lol?

thats me in the sunday times feature, look a liitle moody in that pic... could of used a better one as they took about 100 pics of me...
lol at this comment... ( shillingford said he spent £7000 souping up his 13 year old car with gold HUBCAPS , stainless steel manifold and a stright through exhaust) :roll: what i said to him was this is my second clio as i crashed my fist one at new year, told him about the engine and widetrack conversion done to this one and said it probably cost near £7000 for everything ( buying both cars, engine, cams wheels etc etc). oh well a feature none the less :D

tbh mate no, might of been a little more responsive but at that price im going to stick to normal ultimate/optimax plus i only put in 6.2l which is not a lot, might start to see a gain if u use it all the time though :shock:

i did explain to the fella that it was a clio 16v but then fitted the 2.0l and soon to be fitted widetrack which takes it to the same spec running wise as a williams clio, plus the only hint of words on the car are a williamsclio.co.uk sticker which he wrote on his pad.

thought he would of aswell because when he asked where i heard about the fuel i told him here which he also wrote down, thought he may have put it in the paper but did'nt.

I'd have been cheeky and asked for a club mention

I did read and wonder if it was anyone from here. The thing that puzzled me was your car having a leather interior, but i see its a hybrid :)

Whats the fuel like anyway? any noticable difference.
