Still haven't cleaned the 197 since I bought it in August. I think it's actually getting cleaner now though...

Coincidentally, that episode of WD was on last night. I love a 993, but I just can't get on with Targa 911s.

Totally agreed. I've had a couple of modern turbo motors in the last few years (Golf R and Meg RS) and, while they are impressive, you can't really use them on the road, even in standard form. To feel on the limit in the Golf, you had to be really tanking it, to pretty dangerous levels. When...

So you're not going to turbo it, which probably means a 500bhp forged Megane engine is coming then :ROFLMAO:

Impressive for a standard car 😂 Any more plans, or are you happy now?

Someone on RSMegane.com was messing with a Scenic/Espace with the 2.0T engine. I think the compression ratio is a bit different, so I assume different pistons or rods. Not sure if the turbo is the same or not.

I still miss mine to this day. Would love another.

White will look fantastic on that. Love a MK1. Wish I had one!

A beautiful car, probably one of the best looking estate cars ever created. But god you're mental buying that to do 30k a year in 😂

I really do hate those skirt kits. You seem to see them on so many Fords now. The front is ok (if it wasn't blue), but the side looks s**t and the rear looks even shitter.

I didn't realise we had so many F1 drivers on here 😂

No Snetterton on there? I'm offended.

Been to the 'ring so have experienced elevation change. Don't get me wrong, it adds another dimension, but I still enjoy the flat stuff. If I'm in a car, driving it at the limit, it's all good. I'd quite like to try Bedford. I've only done it as a passenger. It was in my mate's Puma, so...

Try driving faster 😂 I've never found driving on the limit dull, regardless of where it is. The guy that stuffed his GTR into a 720S last time I was there probably didn't think it was dull 😂

I must be odd. I've never thought any circuit I've driven on was dull. They all have their challenges. I'm obviously not enough of a driving god 😂

I do miss Cup :(

Is any track boring? Even flat ones have challenges?

Wheels will improve it a lot. The 330S wheels aren't good.

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?
