I am NOT 182 sport, that I can assure you. We drive different cars, fgs!
But, unlike a few on here, he does seem to know what he is talking about. I know the odd thing about cars, after a quarter of a million miles of driving, too.......
The next Clio will have around 190 bhp, Renault said...
Ten year old cars dont just mean dated technology and less power. It means worn components and just changing the brakes and other regular running-gear stuff and giving the engine a freshen-up will not prevent it being less efficient, on performance and handling, compared to when it was new or...

So, is there anyone out there, who can see what I see in this car, a classic, rear-drive, mid-engined sportscar...
