Victoria Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Yep anyone can own a gun but they wont let you own a Clio V6 Actually, one is more than welcome to buy a Clio and bring it over to the US with alterations and duties paid. And for the record, when I was growing up in the UK, I rarely saw Mustang 5.0s either. We did own guns though. Thank God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any specs? 0-60, 0-100 1/4 mile.............. It's not that fast compared to some, 0-60 is 5.6, 1/4 is around 14 secs I think, I could have got something more powerful for less money but I just love the look, and the supercar sound it makes, but most all I love that they're so rare, I've never seen another on the road. It is possible to make them faster, theres a guy in the owners club added a supercharger to his, I believe he's changed it for a huge turbo now but here's a video of it when it had the supercharger fitted.

fitmic Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 That's a cool ride. But it's some serious technical errors on that version. - Dude, the steering wheel is on the wrong side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_uk Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Damn right! there must be at least a dozen new fixed cameras sprung up around here in the last month, I wouldn't mind if they were put in place to prevent accidents, but everyone knows they're only there to generate revenue P.S. thanks to everyone for the nice comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 It looks absolutely [censored] insane!! And I mean that as a compliment - looks like a lot of fun. You need to upload an mp3 of the engine for us for the full effect!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Everyone and his dog now has a video camera in their phone, so how about a video of you hooning up and down your manor? That is a lot of car in such a compact package. It reminds me of the MG 6R4 Metro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_uk Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 It's supposed to remind you of the Renault 5 Turbo 1, but yeah there's definitely some similarities to the 6R4. I will get around to making a vid soon, but for now if you want to hear what they sound like just go to youtube and search clio v6, there's a good Top Gear video on there but it's a bit long.

Miss Understood Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 My goodness, isn't that a cute little thing. I have over the past two years succumbed to the siren song of youthful pleasures and have found myself thoroughly enjoying a certain 2005 VW R32 "with" ... as our Yank friends so mysteriously put it. My darling rollerskate was sprightly from birth but I soon found his 170bhp lacking. So several calls were placed to VF Engineering and I found their claims irresistable. Stage three was the landing point for me, and my 390bhp are more than adequate with my full time all wheel drive to emasculate all but the most persistent youth in their "rice grinders". As my succulent salmon so pithily puts it. Here is my darling little rollerskate, of course this is not mine but the image is accurate Here are the hard-won results of my stage three modifications. Oh my, now I'm all dewy again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
