I have a friend who swears his clio sport is the best thing since sliced bread and that my old car is way behind the times. I wonder if he changes his mind after this happend for 30 miles! (please note my smug grin!!!) :D

It’s M50 engined 318is, polybushed, eibach springs + damper + ARBs, fully polybushed + a few more bits and pieces I can’t remember off the top of my head!

The clio is ok actually too ”“ it’s quite nippy when the timing belt doesn’t fall off!
