      Clio Williams or an F430? Just by the comment you can guess which one I chose.

      Splitting hairs here, but Harry tells me each week to keep watching and keep subscribing. If I'm honest, unsubscribing each week just to immediately re-subscribe gets a little tiresome. There's no such fuss with TheCarGuys :)

    I LOVE hot hatches, as an Essex Boy these are in my blood (yes, my friends and I used to cruise up and down Southend seafront haha!) I had mates with XR2s, 205 GTIs, Nova SR and GTEs, XR2is, XR3is etc. I used to have a first run Astra GTE 16 valve (Coscast head 156bhp 144 lbft from a 2.0 16v in a car just over 1000kg) It wasn't the ultimate in handling (but you soon learnt just what it could or couldn't do) but had probably the best 16 valve engine for a decade. Man, I miss my boy racer days haha!

    • @davekennedy6315
      @davekennedy6315 4 роки тому

      You mentioning torque steer, my GTE in the wet was a bit mental! It used to light the tyres up easily in 1st, 2nd and even changing into 3rd. On a wet road it used to spin up, with the digital dash showing around 50-60mph and then the tyres would eventually grip and launch you onto the other side of the road. This was if you were feeling particularly brave/stupid and had the accelerator floored. Thinking back I'm amazed that I'm still alive after some of my Hot Hatch Hijinx haha!

    @patrickbateman7122 4 роки тому +1

    Used to have a 16v but have driven a Williams. Imo the greatest hot hatch ever made. There will never be a car like this ever again. Under a ton, na, hyd steering. Basically a fwd go kart. So raw and the engine had torque and loved to rev..this car made me pml! Currently own a BRZ. The Williams and 16v were about 100x more fun to drive! Driven many other hot hatches over the years and for me not a patch on this car. You lucky guys 👍

  • @timogaleon1630
    @timogaleon1630 4 роки тому +1

    Such a great little car! Car manufacturers today need to take a close look at this to see what lessons they can apply today. It’s all about fun AND practicality. The TR7 reminded me that I actually have one of these (with a V8) in storage in Southampton. Haven’t seen it for a few years now, but I remember the tax disc is dated Aug’93, when I moved abroad. It looked identical to the example you showed, when I got it, but I spent a fortune on it, had it sprayed black, and replaced about half the car. I ran the big end bearings of the V8 it came with, so bought a replacement and spent more tuning it up than I’d spent on buying the car. Probably worth about about 2p today!

    @brownie3609 4 роки тому +5

    Jason, I turned my back when you were in the Clio and the commentary went all a little bit pornagraphic!! My first car was a TR7 in black and gold. I bought it as I could'nt afford a Black Daytona Spider (you know what I must have been watching at the time althought that car turned out to be a Corvette based kit car) so the TR7 in my 18 year old eyes was the next best thing. It was lethal in the wet due to the short wheel base. Yours could be the first proper review of a TR7 on You Tube and I would welcome it.

    I had a Clio 1.4RT 3 door new on an M plate back in the day and a mate had a 16V. Nothing fell off of ours either, but mine would whistle when driven in the rain! I never really wanted a Williams back then as I was already aspiring to BMW M3's and TVR Griffiths etc, but it does look good.

    Another truly wonderful addition. Watched the episode where you first sat in it and it blew me away too. I came so close to buying a mint 205 once and what stopped me was the insurance (would not protect my no claims). I still regret it now, as far as I could tell it needed 1 of the fog lights replacing that had a cracked lens, and that was pretty much it. Values now are through the roof ahhh
    That one has not been loved though, it’s been idolised... ‘Mint’ does not even come close. SO jealous I can’t put it into words, thank god your going to drive it too. The Ferrari’s and Lambo’s are all very nice of course but that’s a proper car!
    Oh yeah love the Oris and I still think the 3 pack SE was a bargain, bit like the Clio 😁

    Nice new direction you guys are taking. There's loads of 70's, 80' and 90's cars that are now close to classic for something approaching sensible money. Maybe keep your eyes peeled for a Ford Escort RS1600 or Capri 3000GT / 2.8i? Another stand-out 80's icon is the Audi Quattro. Very entertaining video, this.

    A Renault 5 GT Turbo is also a candidate for hot renaultness in the future. It's good for playing boost lotto, which is basically driving as fast as you can through the twisties and seeing if the turbo wins you a trip through the hedges. They had some seriously cool stuff in the 80s-90s which I think Renault's market positioning detracted from. They do fall apart, but hey, it's the french, they can't hold voice pitch, let alone automotive trim.
    Even a bog standard early 2000s 1.2 clio is an ace drive, I used to haul them around for a Rent-a-car. The radio control would fall off a fresh of the boat new car, and I'm not even joking!
