or, maybe its because mines SPECIAL. :D g

mine feels quite strong still at 120mph, the bucking and bouncing put me off wanting to go much faster. g

anyway, about the passenger window - my passenger window is one touch, using either the switch on my door or the passengers. g

well, Ill check mine tonight. Im almost certain the pass is one touch, two. But i have been known to get the minor details wrong... g

must admit, the Clio gets more admiring looks and nice comments than I thought it was going to get. Cheers big up to the styling. g

Rob, do you mean is it legal to have only one headlight, or is it legal to have only one headlight that works or what or what or what? g

Edd, funny you mention a Merc - my boss wife has an ML diesel and M-B forgot to replace the oil cap during a service. It was driven for about 6 weeks before they realised it was missing BUT, hardly any mess was made at all - just the soundproofing material over the hole was a bit sodden; that...

and a one touch passenger facility on the passenger window. Well mine has, anyway! Proper alloy wheel as a spare, too g

you dipstick! :D g

Hi Joe, I bought mine new from Trade Sales in Slough. Expect Zero service from them but then your dealings with them are limited to just buying the car, then its renos responsibility but...you can expect zero service from Reno, too. As for import related problems....problems with the car are...

the 900 (91 - 97ish) was based on Vauxhall and it was an awful car to drive. The 900 from the 60s - 90s was pure Saab. The 9000 was based on the Type Four platform and shared a chassis with the Fiat Croma, the Lancia Thema and the Alfa 164. Notice how the Saab, the Fiat and the Lancia all...

Does Creater de automobiles means we create cars or does it mean we created the car? Just think that Daimler Benz may have a thing or two to say about the latter statement. :D g

Im sure dynamically is crackerjack and very, very enjoyable. It is also very distinctive to look at, but personally, i couldnt say its beautiful (but then its not meant to be). Its well proportioned, aggressive, funky, appeallingly menacing, but not beautiful. Beauty doesnt shock, shout or...

is the GTO the one that shares a platform with a Yank motor...I cant remember which one it is though; I think its a Dodge, but its been ten years or so now since the launch and I dont recall which car it is. g

cheers ak_uk, im gonna check out the pics now! thx! g

smart cars rock. I especially like the new Smart Roadster - not very fast, but very, very cute. g

being innovative isnt enough in the luxury car market. it needs to be well built (think audi) it needs to be reliable (think lexus) it needs to have ace customer service (think BMW). Looking funky and having Clio bits inside is not enough for a £20k+ luxury car Im afraid. g

Matra who makes them is making a loss at its factory (which it is trying to sell) so with renos agreement, its pulled the plug on them as theyre not hitting targets. Check out Autocrap for the full story. g

Renault Avingabad time - Selling it. boom boom g

reno have stopped making the Avantime (or is it the Vel Satis?). Its the one that looks like a two door espace, anyway. Totally failed to meet sales targets (like, thats a surprise). g

no worries Paddy!! :D g

i see no harm in asking questions in order to further my (limited) understanding. Cant diss someone for wanting to learn ;) g

...his close friends get to call him TC... (for years I couldnt understand why they call him Twin Cam, but hey...) uh-oh - its all flooding back now... :) g

erm, top cat....bla bla bla something or other... i think. Why? :D g

top cat, if you please. ;) g

joe dolce will be playing as i make them bleed. g

if someone did that to my car, theyd need more than a key to defend themselves. g

i might be in the minority here, but i think thats a little too low. yes, yes, i know its been photoshopped, but if it were a fraction higher i would like it more. g

cheers Tom - is dog bone a known technical term or a colloquialism? g
