ithink the interias look abit ghay in renaults,

im not impressed with the interior in the lag altho the leather bucket style seats are megga comfy,
the Zebbra style door cards and trim sort of make it boring and embarassing to drive,

The yellow seats with blue bubbles in my panda were better than that, also there was this very unusual colour scheme in my mums old 106

Was handy enough for a first motor, small, basic, reliable (through basicness), cheap to run, cheap to fix.

Only got wrote off when a BMW rammed it when I stalled at the roundabout. Boot wouldnt open and it failed mot, sold it to a friend who sold it on to someone who reckoned they could get teh boot open, last I heard it was around Sedgefield in England.

I mind my cousin had one as her first car a 3dr versailes model. At the time i thought there was nothing like it with electric windows and the radio control stalk, she kept the car for 12 years.
Im still keeping an eye open for a 1.5 dci clio to replace my mums car, one of the initiale models look nice but its getting a diesel one.

Plenty of Clios in NI, autotrader just seems full of them. They were the best selling car here for years on end.

Old girlfriend of mine had one of them, we were out on the razz one Friday night she had a skinful and when we got home he brother phoned her to pick him up and the daft cow decided she was good to drive :roll: on the way home she saw a copper so decided the mountain was the best way home... Cut a long story short she hit a rock and i was picking windscreen glass out of my forehead for months.

Moral of the story dont rally those things in the dark. :lol:

I put the clio back on the trailer and took it to the farm and gave it a bit of a rally, first bump it hit the thing just cut out, i prodded at all the fuses and relays and it come on again, not a bad wee car for rallying power steering ruins it a bit, but the handbrake is great fun.
