If someone offered me that, I would 100% take it. Then I would sell it and buy something that didn't look like it had been designed by a blind person 😂 No doubt an impressive thing, but probably the ugliest supercar in a long, long time.

Yeah £65 for an autosolo is mental. It's even expensive for a targa in these parts lol

Yeah. Opel are running an all-electric rally series this season for the Corsa-E, which replaces the Adam Cup. The world is definitely a changing.

The problem is, it kind of defeats the object if your road-based race series has to use a different engine to the road cars, just to appease people that can't let go of the past 😂 They should have gone all-out and made that turbo lump a three-pot, like Ford and PSA have. The Fiesta and 208...

Yeah that's mental. €10k for a front bumper I'm told 😂

The 1.6 and 2.0 kit cars were incredible for sure. You're right though, the engines were serious bits of kit. The whole car was really. The money being spent was mad by the end. Sadly, with basically everything being turbocharged now, we'll never see their like again. It would be nice to see a...

They were wonderful cars for sure but, having spoken to a couple of people that ran S1600 cars in period, the costs were beyond ridiculous. A modern R2T probably isn't far off in terms of performance either.

If you're worried about performance from the small engine, look at the latest R2 cars; Fiesta 1.0T and 208 1.2T respectively. These small, turbocharged cars are now the norm in the lower classes and they go really well... And a test of the new Clio on track... ... and in rally trim...

Much better. I'm not a fan of coloured badges myself. Standard all the way. Needs a Fabia splitter too. That makes a big difference in my opinion.

Decent for the money. There's a chance I might need a cheap smoker soon, so something to keep in mind!

What sort of money was this, if you don't mind me asking?

So did Renault register them en masse at port, instead of letting the selling dealer do it?

There seems to have been a few Cups on this forum that started with 'HT' on the plate. Mine was HT53RFE. I do miss it - should have kept it!

For competition use (especially rally folk) the ability to mess with spring rates can be useful for use on different surfaces. It's much easier with coil overs, as there are loads of off-the-shelf springs out there. For the average Joe, as above, it's probably just cool factor.

This is one of the reasons I prefer rallying - at least if I bin it, it's my fault, and not because of someone else not knowing what they're doing :ROFLMAO:

2118s look amazing on 1*2s. As Boris the Blade said, "heavy is good, heavy is reliable".

I always liked these, even though they strike me as more of a tourer than a sports car. Nice with the manual box and turbo lump. I'd be all over a body kit and big power though!

A fiend of mine had one of these a few years ago, with the same 170PS engine. It was a decent steer for what it was, I quite liked it.

I'm not sure to be honest. We did look into it once before. I think it's a few hundred for 24hrs, but she knows someone that runs one of the hire places so gets a bit of discount. The security deposit can be expensive too. It was mega though!

Few spots from Dubai last week: My missus also hired me this for a day, which probably deserves a thread in itself:

LLF is bloody awful. A lot of these modified car "reviewers" are though.

Yeah I think he did get lucky. Posted a video of a Lamborghini crash or something didn't he? Never mind the fact he was loaded and could afford to put time into building it up. I don't mind videos that are filmed like that to be honest as, in some cases, it can actually add something to the...

And yet he has almost 2m YouTube subscribers :oops: When I was at the 'ring a few years ago, some of the guys I went with disappeared off so they could watch him filming. They were really pleased when they were in the background of one of his videos. Like I said above, I just don't see what...

Well that's mental!

I guess I could have said "engine/speed" rather than engine, as that's the main difference that's going to influence performance. They had started to dip their toes into the aero pool with the MK4 too with the rear wing too. It had paddle shift too I believe? It's going to be interesting to see...

...was on display at Autosport International. Thought people might like to see it, so took a few snaps. It's a decent looking thing, though perhaps fairly mild in terms of spec compared to the MK4. A shame they only had the race version though. I'd like to have seen the rally one too.

Few more:

Thought I may as well chuck a few of my pictures in here to avoid starting a duplicate thread:

Was a good show, went yesterday. Just annoying how Thursday and Friday are different to Saturday and Sunday, so you miss stuff unless you do at least two days. The trade days get more and more frustrating too. It used to be so open, but so many students and pretend traders now go that the cars...

Sell your house/children/wife/dog/cat/parents/rabbit/neighbours and go rallying - there's nothing like it.
