It's ok mate, getting 60 to the gallon so can't complain.

We were sad to see it go, in our eyes it was the perfect spec!

Did it go to a good home?

 

[richard1]

^ Yes mate went to a young guy in Kent. Had the spoiler taken off though - but each to their own! Cant complain with 60 mpg!!

[Kane.]

Do you guys in Spain get top gear when we do? Or are they repeated later on?

Sky works overe here

Loads of people out there still dont know what the clio 200 is all about. Most people ask me if i stuck the bodykit on! so seeing as TG has a massive fan base it might be a good thing. Or might just mean im gonna get more t**ts trying to race me all the time :dapprove:

I remember reading a post about a guy who hand purchased a clio 200 second hand and it had gone through a load of tires and a gearbox and was pretty dogged. Turned out it was the car used in those last two videos. The car had spent most it time being smashed round a track then sold to a member of the public. Anyone else see that?

 

[lbrench]

pisses me off this, they put them 3 cars together but instead of the proper abarth SS they have taken the 500C which is the convertible model and only comes in an autobox so its going to lose straight away

I didnt notice it was a C but to be honest give the 3 cars to a good driver and even if it was a normal 500 ss it would still be the slowest no?

i dont think so no, the 200 WILL be the fastest on a track by far but i dunno, the 500 ss is very good through all the gears and it effortlessly quick due to the torque

 

[lbrench]

but having owned both 200 and 500 i can honestly say now that i dont use my car for work and i use it for fun and small trips i would have the 200 over the abarth in a heartbeat.

I only meant on the track no traffic light gp

From what i have seen the clio is slightly faster than the 500 and from what you say the C is slower than a standard 500, but i have no idea what kind of performance the DS3R has so it will be interesting to see.

I swear someone on here had this reg? I may be going crazy if not...

I'm sure CL10 CUP was originally on DVLA reg site for circa £399?! Snapped up and then tried to sell on by someone to renault UK at somewhere into the 5 figures?! Really nice plate though!!

Did he ever chase up the people that sold it to him as they must have know it had been abused and not told him .

 

[Snails]

I swear, on Sunday 22nd May that I drove past that Alien Green 200. It was parked up at the Bristos Ipswich sales centre. I was going to back later in the day after work to have a look at it, but it was gone when i returned at 4.30pm


It must have been another Alien Green, with black wheels, and a 'CL10' number plate.

 

[chaz_cup200]

A did but they were tryin to take it back as a trade in price and they were sayin its still under warrenty n that so they wouldnt take it back the cars had over £3000 of work done to it since owning it

 

[Munson]

Not a fan of Top Gear on the whole but I'm taking an interest in this. Hope the 200 does well. In fact, more to the point, I hope they actually have some serial things to say about the cars, rather than playing stupid (and unfunny) games with them.

 

[LEEMJONES]

They are currently filming the feature around the Monaco F1 circuit as we speak/type (well maybe not now , but they were) ...

It's where mine came from (It was the unregistered black one in their showroom window)...

 

[Mike_RS]

I bought the CL10 CUP number plate from the DVLA and had it for sale on clio197.net, cost me £1100 when i bought it and it was sold to a lady (private buyer) for £2200 (RUK offered £2000).. was a really nice plate too! Wish i kept it now :dapprove:

 

[jack_kemp]

Its being shot in Lucca, Italy. Up against a Abarth 500 SS and DS3 Racing.

That will be where that video that was on the grand prix came from then....

 

[Harpham]

 

[Darren S]

Liking the paint scheme on that Abarth. Not sure about the DS3 - looks a bit too much, imo.

D.

 

[Wick]

Wow... that puts it into perspective how fast the F1 machines fly around there!! So tight in places even in little hatchbacks!! How lucky that they got a few laps of an empty Monaco GP circuit, absolute dream job!

Bernie is clearly too important to wear a seatbelt properly like everyone else.

Looking forward to the review and discussion, careful though this thread will be closed by the CS police (like mine below)

Surely May will hinder the Clios chances...

 

[Munson]

Might watch this in SD due to the 200's front end lol

Go 200.

Hopefully a pro-driver got to hammer them!

And with TG, I tend to take everything with a pinch of salt with that program - very staged and choreographed.
