jambo, saw one of those liquid yellow 182's on the way home from work the other day.

how nice such a nice colour in real life.

I know, but the shift light comes on at that speed in 5th

It made loads of noise, with the K&N, it sounded wrong

Yeah they are brilliant cars, I love the ph1's. It won't seem quick to you because you're used to an M3

the pic of 135 got me thinking thats all, my XSI tops out at about 120 ish, though the clios were a lot quicker top end.

As someone has already said nice downgrade. You'll soon be back on your feet once you've got a house and sorted yourself out

At least you have room for both of them on the drive, my van is stuck outside on the road cos i've got 2 MK4 GSI's, 1 Coupe Turbo and the BMW on the drive and my cossie lives in the garage lol

Clio is screaming it's tits off at 100, would hate to be in one at 130.

It was about 123 or something like that, loud as fuck though and sounded like it was going to explode. It will be a lot quicker with the 16v in.

142 on your speedo?

That engine just doesn't have enough to get you to that, it's not geared for it either.

In a lighter car don't forget, plus it wont be standard. Not too sure with the box it will have on it though.

Joe, not sure weather this is sarcastic... but, you NEED to drive a new s3, ive got one for a couple weeks, and it is leaps and bounds beyond my 8L for handling.
(350hp, similar torqu is nice for giggles too)

PS, the only thing the clio has going for it is the colour.. sorry, but the M3 is in a different league.
