Deep Black - 197 R27 F1

[Vladikar]

Well here I have some pics of my first 197! I've owned this now for two weeks and it is safe to say I am hooked, everything about it is unreal.

I love being inside it and I can't stop checking her out from my window before bedtime.

You should definitely consider it Otter, it really is so nice to own! They're fairly priced too which was perfect for me.

Having came from a 1.1 Clio - to say the power difference was slightly crazy was a bit of an understatement! I just can't wait for the summer now.

^ How did you manage to drive all of them?

Lots of friends in the car trade and wanted to find out what was the best for mw to buy. Didn't end up with any of them either lol
Needed more space for baby stuff hence me not buying the 197. Was a shock I liked it as I really didn't like the other renualts

Very lucky!

Took my Dad in her tonight, he felt 21 again

Very nice. I cant beleive they dont have HIDs though!

They're a small sacrifice buddy, but I agree slightly.

There are very few which have been reliable and successful (from what I have heard).

I personally don't see the need to do so - as the natural aspiration produced by the standard engine is enough for me, and I wouldn't really like to damage something I have paid so much for. But thats just me!

Having looked at the thread, can't help but notice after all that hard work and probably £££'s, the power increase is only 202bhp, and a slight difference in 3rd gear range.
