Last of the Mohicans ... as ‘they’ say.
By: bimbeano : May 23rd, 2020-13:08
10 years ago i went to the Renault dealership for the first time. I have been a fan of the small Clio Sport ever since the Mk2 came out around 2001-2002. Later on a couple of my friends bought the Mk3 phase 1 RS with 197 hp, in 2009 the phase 2 came out w...
Cool! 👍🏻🤭🍀☀️

Maybe I should do that for my Megan RS F1 R26 as well... ...
Fabulous car as well !

Back in 2010 i tried the Megane RS 250 as well but opted for the Clio since at the time i didn’t like the character of the turbo engine. Your R26 really looks the business , white color, the discrete decalls and the dark wheels. Two years ago i addedthe n...
My car is also the last of the Mohicans

And i wil tell why. I drive a Honda Civic Diesel. A story. But when i resume my story, i like your Renault Clio Sport story. Great sporty bomb. Why my car is also the last real great Diesel in it’s segment. It is a reliable car of Japanese make. Toyota an...
I owned and still own a few dieselcars.

I still have my 2007 Audi A4 2.0 diesel with 136 hp and 320 Nm as well as a 2018. Renault Trafic Van 1.6 diesel with 125 hp and 320 Nm like the Audi but pushed out of a 1600 cc. Amazingly this tiny engine pushes that van like it’s peanuts 😀. Yup diesel en...
Agree

Yes Filip, i agree 100% politicians are killing all what is good. They ban cigarettes, so what is next? Beer free restaurants, and closing friet kottes because people can eat to much friet and that is bad for them? Where is freedom? Are we going to be lik...

A gas-electric hybrid. No plug-in. No automatic or CVT, just an honest 5-spd with electric boost when you need it. 995cc 3-cylinder with forged pistons (slightly oval), two rings, cracked rod caps vs cut, so they fit perfectly when bolted on, indexed spar...
Mini third gen Prelude

Nice car you have there Cazalea. For many years i wanted that Insight, because of the futuristic approach. I could not buy that great Insight, because Honda do not export the car to Europe. We’ve got the CR-Z here, but i made other choices. I always dream...
I’ve always found this to be an odd car ...
By: bimbeano : May 23rd, 2020-15:46
... but for some mysterious reason i am pretty sure that i would really like the driving experience. I bet you i can do better than that 61 US mpg with your car 😜. Offcourse that’s a number one can reach with any dieselcar but try that with a petrol car. ...
It’s a great car Mike ...

A true modern classic. Yours is a great colour. Difficult to find a good one these days.
Actually it's very difficult even to find parts for it
By: cazalea : May 23rd, 2020-16:16
The Honda dealers "don't want to know" it's a Honda when you come in -- there were so few sold and such different mechanical components (and body panels). It took almost a year of hunting to get a new A pillar skin because they all fly off after windscree...
Yes, that was a good one, wasn't it?

I had the first element in San Diego, bought it the day they went on sale. And ordered that plate the same day at the DMV. I sold the Element for a low price a few years later, to a friend who had fallen on hard times, and he still has it today. I've trie...
Beautiful Element
By: Weems@8 : May 23rd, 2020-16:20
Is it your car park? It could be mine also. All great cars. For you some Citroën fun. > ...
For track days it is the ideal car.
By: bimbeano : May 23rd, 2020-16:04
Relatively cheap ... but very cheap compared to any other car that maybe gives you the same fun. LSD is not standard but if you buy one of these Clio’s secondhand chances are big you want to overhaul the gearbox. Any good car mechanic can take out the gea...
Megane RS
By: Weems@8 : May 23rd, 2020-16:28
I like the Megane RS. The old one.
Yes and next time ...
By: bimbeano : May 24th, 2020-06:13
.... you will realise the difference is big, especially the sound 😃
Nice!!

My first car was a 1.4 Renault Clio RT 1995 model! I was 17, so 20 years ago now. Obviously not cool or sporty, but I loved it!
