Magazine Review: French Cars.
Since i've read all the current issues of my usual reads (Practical Performance Car and Performance Tuner) I saw a copy of this rag on the shelf. Could be good I thought.
This mag is a genuinely entertaining read and will make you laugh so hard that the tears will be rolling from your cheeks! There is lots of eye-candy, with plenty of pugs lowered to the point of grinding their sills on the tarmac of KFC's carpark, on 20" wheels with bad-boi bonets. This is essential bedtime reading for chavs up and down the country! There is even a superb and informative article on the Clio 16v and the F7P engine. I honestly naver knew that this "highly unstressed" 80bhp per litre engine could easily put out 170+ bhp with some basic headwork. Other pearls include walking away from any Clio that has play in the steering column as it will cost £400+ to repair. (Obviously, welding or shimming is out of the question) There was even a pic of a 19 cabby. Unfortunatly in the write-up this was labeled as a 205 convertable, complete with the obligatory hairdresser joke. Needless to say, it is now hanging up in bathroom. We ran out of bog roll!

Not bought it since.

Nvm! hehe, it's the Performance French Car Magazine, december issue...
Nice article for the 16v indeed. That 19 cabbie at the back is from Edwin from the netherlands... the text from that pic is from 100% tuning at AHOY, the pic above the 19 cabbie is the 205 convertible  ... |
