One of the blokes at work has got himself a Clio 182 which is quite nippy and apparantly better than the 206 GTI 180. To be honest they are all pretty good but as you say need to be caned and rattle like hell. The 205 is good, but on anything over 20 mins its a pig to drive, I only got it coz at the time I had a Rangey which was thirsty as hell. I wanted something to go the 2 miles into work everyday, got drunk one night and ended up buying the Mi-16 engine from the local scappy and me and the boys here put in over a couple of weeks when it was quiet. Bloody good fun though!
