nemz Posted 3, March 2012 Report Share Posted 3, March 2012 Welcome Mac! Glad to hear you're looking to get into an RS ownership nice and early. Took me a little while to see the light Have a read through the 172 buying guide here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9203 and feel free to come to a drive or another event. They pop up in the Social section frequently. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wato Posted 4, March 2012 Report Share Posted 4, March 2012 Ooooo no a 17 year old school student in a RSC this can only end in disaster!! I'm only joking mate I actually started out as 17 year old school student with an RSC and now I'm a 19 year old uni student with a RSC Welcome to the world of RS where your mates think you have a girls car until you smoke them off the line a dozen times and beat them around every single corner! Enjoy (if you get one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie28 Posted 4, March 2012 Author Report Share Posted 4, March 2012 Thanks I think the hardest part is going to be convincing my mum about the reliability and the fact it "should" be more economical than my Bora but I think I've set my heart on one and was looking at a golf VR6 and then saw the light that the Clio weighs a heap less and makes almost identical power and torque And I'll definitely try to make a meet when the next one in Sydney's on PS I want your green Clio 200 haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted 4, March 2012 Report Share Posted 4, March 2012 Thanks I think the hardest part is going to be convincing my mum about the reliability and the fact it "should" be more economical than my Bora but I think I've set my heart on one and was looking at a golf VR6 and then saw the light that the Clio weighs a heap less and makes almost identical power and torque And I'll definitely try to make a meet when the next one in Sydney's on PS I want your green Clio 200 haha Welcome aboard ...(btw why cookie 28? just curious) Anyways, all the best with the Clio hunt, and keep us posted. Yes it should be cheaper overall than the Bora. Happy to do my part there. Will feel so much zippier and light on its feet too. Just remember to service her well, and don't skimp on what needs to be done "when" it needs to be done. Cheers, WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie28 Posted 4, March 2012 Author Report Share Posted 4, March 2012 Thanks guys and cookie28 is because cook is my last name and my dad calls my sisters and me cookie and 28 because it's my birthday (plus it's my username for pretty much everything online haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemz Posted 4, March 2012 Report Share Posted 4, March 2012 Haha I work with someone with the last name Cook and we call him Cookie as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exar Kun Posted 4, March 2012 Report Share Posted 4, March 2012 My mate calls his wife Cookie because of the line from that Bloodhound Gang song: "I'm the root of all that's evil but you can call me Cookie". Looking at when that song came out reminds of how old I'm getting... Welcome on board mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie28 Posted 5, March 2012 Author Report Share Posted 5, March 2012 Thanks guys now I just hope I can get a clio and be a real part of this awesome community!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted 8, March 2012 Report Share Posted 8, March 2012 Smart boy, I was 20 nearly 21 when I figured it out, 21 almost 22, when I bought my first RS, a brand new 182 cup. It was only 2 or so years of having a licence but I regret not being enlightened to Renaultsport earlier.. Welcome and good luck, the Clio is an UNREAL car.

cookie28 Posted 8, March 2012 Author Report Share Posted 8, March 2012 Haha well I've been obsessed with VW for the last year or so and didn't think of the Clio until a couple of weeks ago and realised they are cheaper than I thought And as a little update to this thread I'm hopefully going to look at one tomorrow so hopefully my car will sell soon and then I can buy this one!!

Good luck. It took me 52 years before I got my first RS! Of course, they were Gordinis when I was your age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
