View Full Version : Mot'er though valver was williams!
Hi chaps :)
This is the 2nd time someone has actually assumed my car is a williams, and only another mk1 clio owner in a petrol station identified it as a valver when trying to sell me parts lol.
Just thought it was kinda funny really.

I always get it "is that a williams mate?" my reply "cant you read the door badges?" (1.2) :lol:
Mines grey with black wheels and i get asked- not even close! 449ers have an excuse lol
I've got a few reciepts on my 449 J plater, from *Renault* garages, where the car is listed as "Clio Williams 1.8"

lol, nice... 1.8 williams :D Can imagine it on ebay listing now... 2 litre was replaced by the higher revving 1.8 engine for tuning potential ;)

Same always get the 'is that a williams?'
At least you don't get the "Nice Skyline Mate!" when your driving a S14a 200SX! Totally different car, but still built by Nissan.
No wonder the guy on the phone said yesterday when thinking it was a Williams, "I bet it shifts with that engine". Now I realise what he was thinking... but I was thinking I wish it would shift lol.

When my car broke down I had the dreaded...'you do know the williams is exactly the same as the 1.8 - just its bored out right?'.... oh dear.

I always get it :(
I dont bother explaining the hybrid thing lol.
I just say its a 1.8 with all the bits off the williams that count, front track and engine
Well at least your's is a hybrid and not a standard valver lol.

Hmm....I seem to get the opposite, people have asked if mine's a fake Williams!! I have also been asked why I have painted the wheels gold....I gave up at that point!
How the heck do they think its a williams, and then ask about the gold?!?!?!? People are flippin' mental lol.

I've been asked if mine's a turbo. Apparantly some people think that only turbo'd car's are allowed to have bonnet vents :?
lol.. well my car right now has a metro turbo bonnet in the back I am delivering tonight. From that I must conclude they are right... oh wait a minute...
