Ah right, he’s cryptic as the pyramids that fucker so you never ken whats what car wise. Lovely motor that M5. Sounds like a lion being dildo’d with a chain saw AFAIK.

An ex member from here has one too, silly rare colour iirc, Tom? He’s just after getting an X5M and an Alpina of some description. <3

Golf GTi Anniversary in red on the way home from work, looked immaculate!

That is just a special special car. I stick by the fact i just know having never sat in any of them, that its got far more soul than an M5/RS6 irrespective if its quicker or not. Be interesting to see how residuals go!

I’d love them for my Golf - won’t be cheap i reckon!

Great write up! What wheels are on the 250?

Christ thats clean. From memory some lad on here had an inferno that you could see your face on the underside of, this would almost give that a showing up lol.

Hmm got to be honest, i didn’t personally think much of the DC5 i went out in warrantied the premium they command. Went out in a race base EK9 years ago and i was simply blown away with how that cornered, not a fan of VTEC but that EK9 really struck a cord with me.

Lovely, Ant mate. Am i right in saying only US cars were able to be spec’d with a 6 speed manual box? Got to say, one of these in manual is stuff dreams are made of.

This is in great order, not many about that have been cared for!

What does it weigh and does it handle well??

I’ll bet theres hardly a mark on it when its clean, too! Thats good you’re making good with it - you’ll not be at a loss for help/parts on here!

Whats the story with it? How come its been lying so long?

My god that is a handsome car. The grey really shows off that rear arch so well! More than the LBB colour, anyway. Could see myself in one of these no problem!

Was she good looking?

As said, thats crying out for a 250/265 engine, the shape reminds me of the AE86 Toyota’s! Or;

TVR done it with that new Griffith of theres at a motor show and honest to christ it really couldn’t be unseen!

Your first port of call should have been swapping the front and back one, that’d have singled out whether that was the problem.

Fair shout! Its a massive pain in the arse job wise though, isn’t it? Circa £400 job commonly from Renault Spec’s??

Expensive to fit though, isn’t it?

I kinda want the lad to reply as i feel like me stating what i thought was obvious sounded a touch cheeky lol.

You base car purchases on how rattly/fucked they are though AFAIK

I’ve never at any point found 1*2’s ‘reasonable’ to insure. Probably a lot to do with how many have been written off but even at that, its still a rip off. Last year i was £450 for a Golf R with 8 points.

Nothing to add other than; 1. Great progress mate, i’m very jealous. 2. Your face in that picture will almost certainly appear in the ‘photoshop thread. *ahem* @Richard_UK @SharkyUK @GiT

Not sure if i asked this earlier in the thread but.. how easy is it to have folk work on the Renaults out there? Can’t be many if any specialists?

Binding calliper on one side?

Can you not leave the keys in the house before you wash it?

Imagine that SDI engine being slow as s**t in the Lupo then adding a few hundread kilos of weight, i can’t imagine how slow it’d be lol.

So about 180bhp/ton, that’ll shift!

Oh my that is special! What does it weigh?
