Post by: chifeatures on August 15, 2008, 11:00:31 AM
Hey guys,

I'm Nick, another Movieshack guy! I'm Johnny's brother - the better brother in all ways (http://www.fastfrogs.co.nz/index.php/topic,1504.0.html (http://www.fastfrogs.co.nz/index.php/topic,1504.0.html)).

Tomorrow I'm getting a Renault Clio Sport 182 so thought I'd drop in and say hi

Well after a really long drive back from Wellington I've got the car - and it's awesome.

I had a Honda Integra Type R before this and, image aside, that was a great car; light, fast and really involving. Favourite car to date.

But I'm loving this Renault already. Smooth, fast, god does it brake, and I'm really digging the modern car luxuries.

I think ill get wheels, any advice appreciated  Photos soon!

How did you drive it back to auckland with no wheels? I would suggest round ones!!

Joel, you had images of a, 'The Wrath' showdown between us three!  "You lose the race, you lose your car!". Sent you a text, click, "unlock" and then hit "*" and then you can read it - cool aye!!

Hi again, I've got some photos of my Renault. Now I previously thought it was a 182, it's not. It's a 172 Phase 2.

Thanks! Yeah it goes really well, I drive it relatively conservatively though most of the time, maybe i'm getting old. Then again I had about 4 people shake their heads at me on the weekend.

It's really good on gas! 675km on 45 litres on recent trip to Rotorua. 520km on 45 litres around town.
