Williams Clio, boy racers car?

[Andy P]

Would you consider it to be a boy racers car? I cant decide if people are looking at you as a "boy racer" or the fact that im driving a Williams.

[busterhymes]

because its a williams of course :D :D

[darkfibre]

That is a good question, I've always wondered this also. I think that those who don't know the history behind it may assume that it is, with the gold alloys and bonnet bulge. But I don't care what they think - I still love that car!

[summeh]

definately, but i couldn't care either.

Nope Because its a WILLIAMS.. classic 90s hot hatch

[slippy]

The people who's opinions matter will know, the bafoon who thinks it's a Halford's special, there opinion does not count

[Andy P]

Its an odd one. The amount of people who ask me "Does it have a 2.0 in that?"

Which then seems to make it alright that its got its lairy gold wheels and loud exhaust.

But nah, doesnt bother me either :D

[richy]

when i bought my old williams 3 i went around to one of my mates, as soon as he saw it he was asking why it has gold wheels, bonnet bulge etc and thought my old saxo was better lol just shows not everyone knows what they are

ive had many ppl come up and ask me if its a real williams not a 1.8 16v etc before which is nice, dont happen with every car lol

I wouldnt say it was, the 1.8 16v was back in the day though, seems the mk1 Clio's have been forgotten by our baseball cap wearing younger generation in favour, which is a good thing!

Of course they are!

Anything that has hole in the bonnet looks boy racer to the general public.

The general public who see's a 16v or willy doesnt have a clue of what theyre all about. I have a mate who is 34 and constantly says to me, my car is a williams wanna-be, they dont have a ****ing clue. And then they get in it a say 'oh its pretty quick this isnt it...'
