You may have noticed that I refer to my Clio Cup as "Nicole", and you may wonder why.
Well, when the first Clio was introduced in the early 90s, the Renault TV advertising campaign featured a beautiful young French woman and her father. This mademoiselle was called "Nicole" and her long suffering father she referred to a "papa".
The campaign followed the ups and downs of the their various romances over the years, and culminated in Nicole finally getting married in 1998, at which point the adverts ended.
In memory of these ads, and many of you will remember them, my mate Carl decided to name the car Nicole. The name has stuck ever since, and how she wears the name on her bonnet.
