dpoll Posted 6, August 2007 Report Posted 6, August 2007 Hi all Proud new (mature age) owner of ClioSport 172 (Monaco Blue) in brisbane. Condition is stock, 40k's on the clock and well cared for interior and exterior by previous owner. Enjoying the dynamic driving experience, getting use to the seating position (I'm tall and lanky) and cable clutch in traffic. I'll get a pic up soon once its had its first cut and polish. Looking forward to being a solid forum contributor... I have lots of questions. regards David Quote
walkie86 Posted 6, August 2007 Report Posted 6, August 2007 Welcome mate! Good to have you on board. You will find all you need to know on these pages & make sure you get along to some social events in Brisvegas Cheers, Alex Quote
Qubic Posted 6, August 2007 Report Posted 6, August 2007 G'day David! Welcome to the forum! Nice choice of colour I'm sure you'll get as much great info out of this forum as I have! They're not a bad bunch, I s'pose Quote
Danny Posted 6, August 2007 Report Posted 6, August 2007 LOL Hey mate, I'm still struggling with the fact that that a car that goes for $35K with xenons, ESP, climate control, and auto everything can have a cable clutch.... Enjoy it anyways, and welcome! Where abouts are you from in Brizzy? I used to live in Holland Park for 2 years.. Quote

Sunbeam Posted 25, August 2007 Report Posted 25, August 2007 Welcome David, good to see another oldie (but goodie) here, I'm just old - not mature. Its a great drive LOL Hey mate, I'm still struggling with the fact that that a car that goes for $35K with xenons, ESP, climate control, and auto everything can have a cable clutch.... Interesting, some years ago Peugeot ran an ad along the lines of "we'd never use an hydraulic clutch cos you lose control" Quote
spaleta_9 Posted 25, August 2007 Report Posted 25, August 2007 Welcome David, you picked the right colour Im sure that you will get used to the seating position pretty quickly, and the clutch may be annoying in traffic, but its a small price to pay for pure driving pleasure on the open road Quote
MarkP 172 sport Posted 25, August 2007 Report Posted 25, August 2007 Lol my bad - didn't read post properly Quote
dpoll Posted 26, August 2007 Author Report Posted 26, August 2007 Had the RS172 for a few weeks now and the relationship is solid Clutch you get use to pretty quickly ... although it can still catch you out Gotto say its my favorate drive. My other pet is a GTR R34 Skyline. While the twin turbo monster is a blast I'm enjoying the RS172 so much more Quote
