yeah well can rely on a car but not a bird hey ??
Been going from strength to strength over the last 6 months then last night she drops a bomb that " she loves me with all her heart and wants to be with me but feels low and down with everything and wants to be on her own for a while"
I do...
no xeons but has them driving lights what ever they are ?? has auto lights and stuff, doesnt have climate but i dont use it anyway in my 182, got ac but again never use that
na no R26 around so i'll step up from my 182 to the 197 and in a year or so i'll take the jump again
Car is Black, 57reg, 9k on the clock, bar the scratch on the door that they are repairing its mint ! I think even HAS from here was suprised, paid 10k for it and got 5k for my 182, im well chuffed
Oops... I think i may just eat my words !
Well last night after driving the 197 i was laying in bed thinking about the drive, I couldnt get the 197 out of my head so along with HAS from the forum we both jumped into my 182 today and went back to the dealer to have another crack, We looked...
I agree with all 197 owners its a fantastic car but not for me just yet, i dont want to spent £10k on a car that aint miles above my current car. the 197 is better made, steering is spot on and the brakes are fantastic, it looks the nuts too but from my position i dont see it worth spending 10k...
Thanks mate
I wasnt being biased either even though i own a 182, i agree the 197 is a much better car in many areas infact nearlly all areas but for me it aint worth the extra £££
The 182 screams "boy racer" the 197 screams "sophisticated" - prob is my missus likes the 197 !.. Says its more civalised lol - think she needs to be quite tbh as if she knows she dont even drive !!
Its exactly that mate - maybe if i had a day in it to fully adjust then maybe i would have leaned to a 197 more but maybe 1 1/2 hrs is not enough time, some will say it is some will say its not but for me it was long enough
Some may have read this in my thread posted this morning in regards to going to test drive 3 cars this afternoon but i thought i would repost here to make it easier for viewing.
2 cars were sold so had this one to play with.
Ok well here goes....
Got to Renault at 4pm and spoke with a...
Sorry that its kinda long and maybe dull to read but i was just being honest, Its definately a great car but not leagues above my 182, even on my way home that fun factor all came back and i've had my 182 3 yrs.... Some will agree some will not...
Ok well here goes....
Got to Renault at 4pm and spoke with a sales man regarding the 3 cars mentioned, The LY Meg was sold just an hour before so no test drive there lol, The white 197 was being uses by a manager and is now away untill monday so i was left with a black 197 which was pretty...
^^ lol hold on to your hats
to the question.. I replaced discs and pads last week and bled the brakes they do feel much better but i do agree with the brake pedal not feeling as firm as it should though but my car stops well soi m not overly bothered tbh plus im gonna look at a RS Meg in half...
Yeah I'm know what I'm like ansld the meg will def sway my way depending on insurance quotes etc, never know I may just keep the 182 but I do want a new car. Had the 182 3yrs now
Yup i really do but depends on cash flow/insurance tbh.. dont know how much more it will be to insure the meg over my 182 - currently paying 380 pa for the rs
Going to my local Renault after work to test drive 3 cars later
1st is a liquid yellow Meg sport F1
2nd is a 197 cup - white with black skirts / rear / front spoilers
3rd normal 197 - in nimbus
TBH im quite excited and think i know which one im after but i'll take some pics and let you...
I got mine down on -30mm APEX too, Had them about 2 months and they've settled well now... This was the day they got done but as stated have dropped another -5mm or so :-
