Realised I was wearing a white long sleeve with a navy short sleeve over the top, wife was in pax seat wearing a navy hat and black/white top.

Which reminds me, I must book that fashion course before the offer expires...

Speaking of Renault, did anyone else see what happened to Evans Halshaw Renault Durham on Friday?

It never ceases to amaze me how much more flammable dealerships become in difficult economic times...

Tintop for me too. They both look great though.


Here's a chilling glimpse of our inevitable blingy fate.



Very cool in a futuristic Bladerunner sort of way.
Very uncool in a "this chav tat will really get on your tits when parked behind it on the M25" sort of way.






Meanwhile, today, I want this more than I've ever wanted anything (Vanessa Paradis excepted, obviously), and I can't have it

Conversely I've always thought the coupe looked like a stumpy caricature, whereas the hatch in M-sport trim is quite an appealing thing.

Edited because the spelling mistake made my teeth itch.

It's the eternal debate of the "clown's shoe" vs "Noddy's car"

I expect the 215bhp 3-litre in the coop will go soon

Absolutely stunning, great colour too.

Yes, I do realise they are for sale in multiple colours... my obvious point being obvious

That Lime looks well mind - shame they aren't been bought up in droves in that colour.

I was told that you could only order the boring colours for the first few month's deliveries, something to do with something in the fancy paint and the Japanese tsunami thingy affecting supply. I know that the red was a much longer lead time.

A while ago I mentioned about buying a car to do track days

Been watching this

Wish I had the nerve to buy it

I would have bought that if I had seen it

I'm glad it's not just me that thought that...

Isit just me that for some reason I find this RS2 even more awesome because it's a left hooker ?

Love them, but were they all wood trim? Don't think I've noticed previously.

You could get Wood, Carbon or another type I had on my S2 but the name escapes me now.

That steering wheel looks awful, the later 3 spoke airbag wheels are fantastic.

Been looking at them myself too. Seem to be a few around the £4k mark with slightly higher mileages.

Could get something decent for the same price but not much thats particularly special. Late E36M at similar money too but almost double on insurance, possibly more to go wrong and higher fuel.

Don't think about what can go wrong until it does go wrong......

Yep - I think it's just East Anglia and the South East.

I know we haven't had any rain round here since 1837, but surely we could restrict it to only falling at night? I've got a car which needs dismantling!
