Whatcha think he'll say if I offer him £12k? :D Dan

Oh also, I accidently hit the limiter once, just over 7,000rpm, but the Renault website tells me it should be 7,500rpm - do they just need to be really warm before they'll rev all the way up there? Dan

The salesman was an old bloke who lives in my village (10 miles from the dealer) and he had me drive all the way to the village and back down th twisties - saying things like "You can get round this corner at a ton" :D It was awesome - I've never a 197 once before but didn't really give it any...

It's not THAT cheap, someone else on here just got a not-cat D RB 182 with cup packs, and apparently in good nick bar a curbed wheel for £4.5k or something. Dan

Just back from testing a white 57 plate Cup, was the dealer Demo, on 4k miles, up at £14k with A/C. Drove really well, and the standard seats I actually found more comfy than the Recaros I have to say. Now really I need to test a none-Cup 197 without Recaros and with the older box... Dan

Oh those differences aren't as big as I thought, that's hugely reassuring! So it's not 70mph @ 4,500rpm then heh :) Dan

Morning chaps/chapesses, For many, rather unfortunate reasons regarding me and being really ill, I keep having to go to hospital in Leeds - about 65 miles away. This is of course, not something I want to do in the vee because it's putting miles on it for no fun, I don't like parking it at St...

I wouldn't bother with the exhaust at all, just get a decat and do plan 1 IMHO :) Dan

Ah, an Elia spoiler! Where does one get one of them from...?

On a completely unrelated note mate, IIRC you have a little spoiler on your R27? Who makes it and where does one get one? Any chance of a pic - my search mojo has deserted me heh :) Dan

I don't think you should be his friend anymore. In fact, kill him. In fact, nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure!

To be fair, I beleive the situation you refer to is Subway and the CatD Vee that he tried to sell for loads more than he bought it for by not declaring it was a Cat D - that's not quite the same thing as just making a fair profit heh :) Dan

Made up for you mate :) Well Michael, guess you'll just have to find something else to laugh at tonight. That's a real shame isn't it :) Dan

I was gonna say, what the hell is left to fall off hehe! Good to know :) Dan

One assumes it's rear wheel drive? Looked terrifying tbh hehe! Love that he had no helmet, and sometimes was resting his elbow on the window ledge gansta style hehehe! Legend! Dan

That looks like an awesome location! Top speed runs ftw hehe! Dan

Alan, do I recall a little while ago you said you were considering selling yours? If so what's the spec of it...? Dan

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/481933.htm £19k. Nuff said... Dan

To be fair, it's a C3, it's worth f**k all anyway :)

That car is truely something special. What's the engine spec? Dan

Yea cleaning and going to town always feels like a waste of time heh. But Iceberg does have a bit more too it than Titanium. Dodo Light Fantastic makes the colour really, really bright though - recommended. Sweet car dude :) Dan

Sweet dude :)

You can get a new one for that money, with aircon and Recaros. Go to the Renaultsport.co.uk forums and post in the dealer section :) Dan

Good spec with the brakes and options, but it looks a bit crass IMHO. Dan

Result :)

Ah but the R27 is just a plaque, it doesn't mean anything you can't get on another 197 - whereas the Trophy had those special touches (mainly the Sachs) that made it a 'last hurrah' so to speak. Just IMHO of course. I'd expect to see, possibly a 197 Trophy right before the end of the line. Or...

Hell I think he should just for comic effect. Dan

I don't beleive it either ;) Having said that I once got 32 driving like an absolute fagotron in slow A road traffic on a long run... Dan

You know, that peddle on the right can go all the way down ;) Dan

I'd agree with that, R32 is awesome and incredibly capable. The rest are just shite and slow as standard. Then if you mod them, they're shite and nippy. Dan
