phlat Posted 1, April 2015 Report Share Posted 1, April 2015 Hi all, Been poking around the forum for a couple years now I think and finally took the plunge on a Clio 182 cup. I've had the little bugger for a bit over a week now and am absolutely smitten! Still ironing out some kinks and looking for a good bike carrier for the roof racks. I've just come from a base 2004 Fiesta and was driving a NB MX5 before that so it's good to be in something that's a great steer. Anyway, looking forward to learning a lot and contributing where I can. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phlat Posted 2, April 2015 Author Report Share Posted 2, April 2015 Thanks everyone! From Melbourne. Unfortunately the wheels are a bit gutter rashed (doesn't show in the photo) so I'll be looking to do a plastidip touch up in a similar colour over the next few weeks. Otherwise it's a very clean car, very happy with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted 9, April 2015 Report Share Posted 9, April 2015 Great car, welcome. My silver 182 cup moved to Melbourne once upon a time, who knows, maybe this is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAss Posted 20, April 2015 Report Share Posted 20, April 2015 Sounds like I was reading my own car history in reverse! started in a base 05 fiesta then went to an NB mx5, always been interested in the 182 cup and am about to take delivery of a new RS265. Great minds I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great minds I guess! Haha seems like a natural progression! The MX5 was a great car to learn how to drive for fun, not much power and a very predictable chassis. Also good to learn about maintaining your car as well! Hope the 265 treats you well! I'll say the Clio is a lot sharper than the MX5 and has the extra 15kW that the NB could have really used. It also sounds significantly better - like an angry, grumpy sound. Still undecided on if I'll miss RWD... only time will tell! Great car, welcome. My silver 182 cup moved to Melbourne once upon a time, who knows, maybe this is it Pretty sure it's a Melbourne car from new (I might have to read through the books again though), sorry I can't reconnect you two!
