View Full Version : :D
I luv my car hehe.
Just ragged the hell out of it to Tesco and home. It didn't miss a beat, just torque and power. No shit, this engine is getting perkier with age. Done about 8k miles in it now, so it's only done 9k total since Hill Power rebuild.
It needs the suspension sorting a bit and a bearing is starting to go again (think I am going to buy a bearing press and leave it at Leighannes for general use, be cheaper!) but no biggie lols.
Blew the total **** out of a GTI new golf thing earlier too hehe. I think he shit himself when I floored it in 2nd gear, the ITB's go totally nuts at 3k RPM under full load :D It is addictive, I still giggle to myself even at low speeds doing it.
Never sell teh Clio Willyams :p
Also, was at Tesco getting petrol and a pretty girl smiled and asked me, 'oh not see one of these before, is it new?' I lol'd and said yes, you can only get them on special order with Renault, but if she wanted one to be quick as they almost sold out.

Well, I think there is a lack of Cooops pwnage lately :D
I must be honest, im looking at replacing mine, but with the group a scuttle on it now, i just keep driving like i stole it, the Noise, oh the noise, and that makes me like it again, and then i feel guilty about looking at other cars. But it still gets plenty of attension. You just dont see many any more.

I love mine. A wheel bearing is going pretty bad now, but it kinda just adds to the whole drama of it :p
