I'm thinking about buying an early Clio V6 (Hedgehunter model). Anyone know anything about them? Just finding that the Lotus doesn't really have a place anymore. Too compromised for road use and got a much better car for track use now.

All advice welcomed. :D

Only got 2 seats mate - you need a 4 seater road going missile. I wonder where you'll find one of those

Cheers Paul,

We'll have to see if we can find a rich couple who want His & Hers Lotuses!

No wallowing for mine, nice new upgraded suspension

Give me a ring Paul, you need a ride in it.

That's one thing it is good at, intimidating people in "normal" cars

I reckon I could get that made for half that!!!

Never been impressed with the handling of any TVR. Its not just that though. There's just something about them that I just don't like. I guess its just a personal thing.
