Ok she's quite an old Renault now any of you chaps remember the Renault F1 Espace Madness or not?

From memory 800Bhp Reno V10 F1 engine, 0-124mph 6seconds, 0-62 2.9 seconds top speed 194mph
so quite quick.

Madness, but in the good way.

But, how loud must that be inside the car? eek

I may be going mad, but i know this car was at the british gp in 94 or 95... Im sure john prescott drove a couple of laps in it. Im also sure it was "only" 7 seconds slower than the forti ford team lap. A beast of a car.
