It stems from the likes of FB I think where traditionally everyone kisses each others arse. Then they venture beyond the safety of Facebook and can't handle the realisation that some people have different opinions...and aren't afraid to share them. There's someone with a long running 'project'...

It's getting worse than STOC in here lately. If you dare disagree with someone/anyone or are deemed to be even slightly controversial toys go flying and off they go LOL

That's not an E55 though is it? Just an E500 with an AMG body kit?

LOL at those rear brakes, mahoosive! Amazing price though.

It's not a safety issue hence them being pretty laid back about it all. Compare the cost of an optional recall of all 197/200s to replace a weak internal gearbox component against the cost of Renault throwing 75% in the direction of those unlucky enough to actually have a failure and it's easy...

I'll be up there but I can't 'compete' with anyone who pounds dual carriageways and motorways week in week out like this one probably has... I'm more than happy with my 50 miles a day on empty b-roads :approve:

Lucky! That's a lot better than £240! Hit 20k miles in mine at the weekend, it's gone so quick.

Looks great Joe! We should head out one evening and try side-by-side some runs, see how the two compare...you should romp away now!

My thoughts, exactly.

For the record I think its back end is infinitely better than my ST...which I just find to fussy.

I've seen two of them in total now, at the Fesitval of Speed on the Renault stand, one last year, one this. LOL

Ha ha, excellent work.

FLOL

Correct, you really really do!

I thought it was quiet yesterday. Weather was fantastic apart from a few sprinkles first thing, plenty of space to get around and see/get up close to whatever you wanted to. Perfect day. Great pics as always Chris :D

FFS I've just gone back again!

I keep going back to look at it in the hope that I either a) see something in it worthy of a positive mention or b) maybe see something that would explain what drugs spurred the owner on to do that. I'm still none the wiser.

What the f*** is that?!

To those that have cordless vacs...do they hold a charge well? Is yours always charged up and ready to go at a moment's notice? I know two people that have cordless vacs and they never get used, they wheel their main house vac out, on an extension lead to do their car. Either the battery...

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/44465/electrolux-z61a-workzone-stair-and-car-vac Highly recommended. It's mains powered so forget having a pathetic 12v motor feebly trying to suck sh*t up...this has proper suction. The switchable rotating brushes work really well on removed mats...

Entrance and passenger pass already paid and confirmed!

Agreed. Flat paint is pants.

The house or the car? ;) Make sure it's up to Goodwood...it's a fast circuit so it'll be running hard all day long!

Aye, true.

If I see one more picture of that car with the bonnet removed I'm going to f***ing scream. It has a different engine. We get it!

Looks better without etc. ;) Glad you're enjoying it. Get some miles on it...at 10k my engine had changed character completely.

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...
