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'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 ;)

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.

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 :?
