Back on the road!!!

[blink172]

After 5 weeks spent driving a Meggy 1.9d and the old dears 1.2 authentique clio, getting back in the 172 was such a shock.

Long way round to work and driving a car without body roll like venessa feltz on a water bed was such pleasure.

Makes you appreciate the car and its performance.

What happened to it?

 

[blink172]

Nothing, the old is trading her clio in and I put the mileage on hers. Mines been sat in the garage not moving and i've racked up a few k's in hers instead, lol.

 

[Karen]

lol I couldn't do that, my time spent in a 1.2 courtesy car was almost unbearable...

I started to enjoy the 1.2 Clio I had for 3 months. I still miss the comfortable ride.

It was the embarrassment in London when every bugger got away from the lights before me... I was commuting 110 miles a day at the time too!

1.2s arent that bad.

1.2s arent that bad.

Compared to other 1.2s from other manufacturers the 1.2 Clio goes really well and is fun to drive. Try a 1.2 Punto or Corsa, god they suck.

its a step down in quality, going from the authentique into the sport.

I feel for you buddy :clown:

Ha ha, seeing as my 50 mile commute is M4-M25 I only missed it when the traffic moved and it took until the next time it stopped for me to catch up.

Petrol was cheaper and the throwing a 1.2 around was quiet good fun.

I know what you mean. Having to rag the nuts off the car on the motorway is something ive learnt to live with

Alright on B roads and that but on a motorway they are annoying until you get up to speed.

I have been in a 1.0l yaris for the past week and a bit and it is utter shite. Is it too much to ask for an average height person to be able to sit slighltly comfortably at the wheel?!

 

[TheCake]

I recommend everyone to try a 1.0 E Lupo.... Oooooh how bad are they... lol.

Glad to hear your lovin' it again blink.

1.2s arent that bad.

Pretty good apart from on dual carridgeways if you wanna go above 70 you have to keep your foot welded to the floor before it builds up speed
