Don't get me wrong, I understand economies of scale etc. and know that there's a massive increase in cost for small volumes... But, £x gets you a Megane 275 Trophy. £x + £2,000 gets you a Megane 275 Trophy with Ohlins suspension. £5,500 ON TOP of that gets you; Different style wheels...

I really am missing something if people are prepared to pay £5,500 for that.

Of the extra £7,500 the 'R' costs we know £2,000 of that is for the suspension. So for the remaining £5,500 you get Cup tyres, different wheels, and some weight saving. WTF am I missing? Or do I just not get it?

Spindly wasn't the right word, but think about how the bolts/studs are designed to function. They work under longitudinal tension don't they which provides the friction between the hub and wheel? Imagine what they're subjected to when they've bolted a wheel to a rim...the force, in the absence...

If the spigots take no load at all, are we saying that the mass of the car is suspended on 4 small studs/bolts and the friction only of the wheel mating surface against the hub? Really? So 4 spindly bolts and a some friction is what keeps the wheels where they should be when you barrel into a...

C**t.

As is keyless start. Enjoy it, will be interested to hear your Golf comparisons as the miles grow and you settle/dial into it.

Wow. Just seen that. I'll try again; So £5,500 get's you an upgraded titanium exhaust, Cup tyres, a couple of seats and a lot of deletions due to weight saving. F*** me Renault. That's a bold pricing strategy.

So that's a £7,500 premium for the 'R' over the Trophy. £2,000 of that is, we know, the trick suspension. So £5,500 get's you an upgraded titanium exhaust, Cup tyres, seats, bigger brakes, and a lithium-ion battery along with a lot of deletions due to weight saving. Worth it?

So it's a Trophy-R apparently. Anyone want to spend £37k on a Megane?

Looks fantastic :approve:

I'm sure I saw you pass or heading the other way or something a day or two ago. Fingers crossed for a good number at SRR!

How is £1,500 reasonable and £1,250 taking the p*ss? £250 is no more than good night out to a lot of people.

...and this is the reason why I'll give serious consideration to not bothering come renewal time. He invited opinions and thoughts and ends up being on the receiving end of very childish abuse. FFS, grow up. It's no wonder this place is a complete mess full of f***ing retards these days when...

Exactly this.

:cool: I actually like a bit of debate about things like this...it makes one question events and actions...which can only be a good thing. I'd not thought about the service aspect etc.! A £47 one off fee to ensure little pr*cks don't rag your car...I like this thing even more now!

If I'd uploaded the previous two minutes you'd have seen that when presented twice with opportunities like the one here, the A-Class sat there and did nothing. No attempt to overtake, no change in road position, nothing that suggested they weren't happy to carry on at 35-45 mph behind the Merc...

No solid lines, hatched areas are there to be used, I thought the A-Class might have finally woken up and applied some pressure to their throttle, local knowledge etc. etc. etc. #ineversaidididnothingwronghere

Not sure if serious?

At the moment I'm running my GoPro on the rear so it's battery only.

Footage from mine caught this happening today...I kind of expected it from their behaviour beforehand so it didn't develop into much...but it's reassuring to know this thing is recording should anything like this catch me out...

Valid points! Personal preference is what it comes down to really as there is little to separate them on price...I like the screen on the G1WH for ease of setup and battery and ultimate size matter not to me.

It's around 5.5 hrs at 1080/30 on the G1WH.

My GoPro covers that sort of thing for me. As said, battery life on a permanently wired in dashcam is a moot point...for £35 with a screen I'm more than happy with the G1WH. If you want an action camera then clearly the G1WH is not for you. As a dashboard camera though, it excels.

Interested. Link?

...and can you set that to loop record, write protect in the event of an impact, and fire up and shut down automatically when ignition is turned on and off?

Yep, comes with a 3.5m lead as per the picture in post #4. I had someone pull out on me when I was overtaking this morning, no mirror check or signal at all from them, I kind of expected it so it wasn't too close when it did happen but it's nice to know that if I did get caught out I'd have the...

It's a dashboard camera with a full colour screen, it's more than enough! Giving it any more battery life would have made it bigger and heavier, which would be even more crap.

5 minutes. 10 at the most. Enough for you to be able to walk around after an accident and photograph and/or video the surroundings/other cars etc. It also serves to allow the unit to shut itself down properly after the ignition fed power supply is cut. Yes, real time viewing of what's being...

100PS or 125PS? Either way you'll have a blast!
