Thankyou very much, that is much appreciated :) Sad to see it go but the main thing is it didn't get broken and went to an excellent home where someone can enjoy it. Glad your loving Maverick! Yeah definately Ed, much better someone had it and repaired it, just didn't make financial sense for...

I'll second that Chip, didn't want to break it at all as I think its a nice clean example and has a strong engine :D Shame you didn't have the space as it is a clean shell but you do have too many cars :p Glad it has gone to a very good home, I've already said to Vikki if/when she sells it in...

Cool, see you down there then :D

Yeah thats alright mate Chip is giving me a lift, cheers for the offer, you still going? Yeah I thought from your thread sounded like the box wasn't too good. I'll chat to you tonight if your going, still undecided about it all at the moment!!

Lol, I like the "mad karting champion yo" skillz description Chip! I only won a single championship but got too tall and heavy. 10-15kgs more doesn't seem much but in those karts it makes a difference. Thats why I love track/action days as me being a heavier person doesn't affect the cars...

I think the car boxes are slightly different to do with the speedo drive and that it has no ABS. I don't think that box is too healthy either from memory. Hopefully be able to come but will have to speak nicely to Chip as my wife is using our other car!

Yeah that is the dilemma, other things could be wrong with another Clio I buy! I have got into that situation before being too far on spending money on cars and wanted to try and avoid that again so I'm a bit wary about possibly doing that again! Thanks for that, might give them a ring and...

Yeah I have heard they are not the strongest boxes in the world and a pig to remove. Unfortunately I'm not a mechanic so won't be able to do it myself but do have some friends who are in the trade who would help me out a bit but will still cost! Who are agency? We have a gearbox specialist in...

Yeah I know the smoke was pretty bad and must have left a bit of oil! Think the oil was from the hole in the gearbox which got onto the manifold. The engine appears to be fine and the oil level is fine so just seems to be gearbox. That is my problem as I have only just done the rear discs and...

Some of you will have seen the thread and comments here about my outing at the April Castle Combe action day where my car decided to loose a lot of oil from somewhere! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?695825-Castle-Combe-Action-Day-Pics-of-my-Clio-on-track At the time we...

Just updated my username and that I want to do some track time

Cheers Lawrence, car is going into my mates garage tomorrow, I'm hoping it won't be serious and the oil was only from the breather pipe, we shall see.... Excellent, no problem at all, pleasure doing business

I found a picture of my car smoking before I pulled off the track through one of the other threads :( ​

Ah right, was trying to think if I had seen another Clio in the car park or seeing your profile an Audi A3!! Yeah there is a CS sticker in the rear windscreen and a CS tax disc holder ;) Good spot indeed!

I forgot to ask last night how you got your car back to Avonmouth, I assumed it was through the AA / RAC. I think that is brilliant that they helped you out like that and knowing you it doesn't surprise me how you went the extra mile and got them some beers when they didn't want anything :D I...
