[quote=Harvy500]FFS, as I told you all before my Mrs Drives (drove but highly unlikely to happen again)a Renault Megane MK3 cabriolet. She got hit by another car today.
Renault 99.9% a write off. Other than the obvious damage, wishbone ripped out of the subframe, door Pilar bent and hinges torn.

Luckily there are plenty for sale, starting at £1K, without buying a shed with a taxi mileage.

I drive a 2006 Volvo V70 D5 (brakes borrowed from an XC90) hybrid turbo, large alloy intercooler, bespoke remap, big exhaust, carbon fibre rear tailgate spoiler, carbon wing mirror covers.
Goes well and as time of typing, average fuel economy is 45.6mpg.
Just sometimes, I borrow my daughter's mini Cooper s R52 convertible. What's not to love about a supercharger whine noise? It's my fault she's got a Miltek stainless exhaust. Lol.

wouldnt mind that D5 set up in c70 or 30 or 40 smile

Audi A6 C7 Quattro Avant 3.0 - perfect car. Smooth, powerful, 7-speed gearbox a delight. 0-60 = 6.1 + 40mpg
Mercedes SLK - nice but rubbish gearbox
VW Polo - go to car for most things local

Audi decided to go low-rider in French Alps (both front springs broken). Fixed in 48hrs by VW dealer in Bourg Sainte Maurice
