    Renault For German Daily Driver

    Well, as you all know I got rid of my black hybrid back in april, sadly. It went to a local lad who is looking after it well! Although he did blow the clutch up within a week of ownership!

    There is just something about being able to thrash the arse off a 2.0 N/A that I do miss dearly. That car was so quick. I used to spank B8 220 Audi Turbo A4's for fun (theyre not slouchy) and I was chatting to a young lad last week that rocks round my way in a quicksilver shell with a 106gti engine who i used to have regular blasts with and kill him. I always thought his was a 1.4 quicksilver std, so kind of made me smile.



    Anyway. Thought Id show you all what I have had since April. Here is my daily now. 2012 4.0 V8 of Germanies finest. This thing is just brutal. The noise it makes. The handling. The power. The acceleration. Changes gear quicker than you can blink. Launch control. DCT. 414BHP. Rev limiter @ 8300RPM. The noise the downshifts make is what every petrol head dreams of. Its just simply sensational.

























    I will without doubt buy another clio one day for fun!

    Wow, that does look good. Don't remember seeing one in the flesh yet. The side profile shot is my favourite - it looks very taut and purposeful.

    Not just that Paddy!

    Youre right about the CSL shape wheels, but thats more E46 shape talk from the CSL of that era. These are actually part of the competition package that BMW offers as an upgrade. Its give 1/2 inch wider track. Car sits lower by 10mm. And it has electronic damper control all round. All part of that package. When you press that button handling is immense. Proper track day button that is!
