Is the inferno colour the same one that you can get the Meg 225 in?
If so, I saw one of those at the Renault dealership near us. Apparently, it was relatively cheap because no-one liked the colour........ according to the saleman?!

Ouch. :cry:
Bad news m8. I had the same done to the lock on my GTt. It was around £70 for a replacement lock and barrel and then £220 for the mangled bodywork to be put back right and resprayed.
It wasnt cheap, but looked ok afterwards.
Reno should have made the 182s keyless entry.....

Is it just me, or doesnt the inferno one look quite boring? Its daft to say a colour alone can do that, but I agree with Pete Savill - it looks like and Extreme.
Nothing wrong with that, I hasten to add! :oops:
D.
They made do m8 - but they cant half handle!
110% track-day car - youd never want one to drive on normal roads, but the bigger, faster and more powerful machinery you can destroy on the twisty stuff with it is amazing.

Just had a look at the vid clip on FastDrive.org (do a search under Lotus 340R on Track) and its sheer class came back to me. What a bloody great car that is.
That exhaust note sounds even better from the drivers seat..... :D

LOL - can you imagine the resale value of one of those things over here???
That is pig-ugleeee. Looks like it should belong to some late 80s Kia/Daewoo hybrid car.

I must admit, the Yaris does have potential. Imagine Toyota fitting a screamer of a 16v in there - maybe 1.6/1.8, lowering it, sorting out the suspension and maybe offloading all the additional weight of extras, similiar to a 172 Cup?
Then again, Toyota would never release it at a cheap enough...
Im not having a go m8, as clearly I wasnt there, but unless youre really unlucky, I cant see the police pulling you over for no reason. In 13 years, Ive been pulled over once (like you, for having my front fogs on) and Im hardly Mr. Perfect Halo as a driver.
Were you being irratic - not...
Just before the Edgworth turn-off. Flashed you and you acknowledged (hoo-rah!). Just as I was about to loose faith in RS Clio owners.....
Let onto a silver 172 to this dinnertime as well. The expression on the drivers face as she went past was an amalgamation of "whos the f**ks that?" and...
LOL - Rolf Yaris! :D
I remember when the wife took her MR2 into Toyota to be repaired. They gave her a loan red Yaris with HUGE "THIS CAR HAS SAT NAV" stickers all over it. She hated it and died of embarrassment!

For my 10p worth.....
Borrowed a WRX for a day. Mid range, it would stonk my 182. Once the 182 is up to speed, maybe theres no much in it. Real world scenarios - motorway sliproads, overtaking, etc, I think the WRX would be in front.
Both cars (imo) are severely hampered by 5 gears. They...
FM - have you been there before and parked up right outside the entrance? I saw a Willy outside there a couple of weeks ago, but was on the mobile to the missus at the time.....
D.
Youre a braver person than I am - parking amongst the numpties near the entrance. Strictly reserved for the elderly and the TWDGAS Drivers (those who dont give a sh*t). Check your door for dings, when you get back!

Topper - no m8 - over towards Bury. The nearest Shell station to me at home is towards Rochdale - the opposite way from work and stuff.
Mick - I hope the damage repair doesnt effect the handling and stuff? Did the impact go as far as the rear suspension?
D.
Topper - Im with you on this m8. Noticed the passenger seat squeeks now when no-one is seating in it (which is 99% of the time). Got an annoying noise behind the dash - press the fascia around the CD player and all goes quiet. Oh, and a slight clunking noise when on full steering lock.
The...
Are the twin pipes spread out or together? Any Pics???
Decided now that the Shell petrol station in Darwen is going to be the place for me to get the ol girl her Optimax. If youre out on the M65 at dinner times, I may see you knocking about....
D.
I get feck all in the 182 - used to get loads in the GTt. Quite like it in a way. Having said that, I noticed one lad walk past my car last night, did a double-take and then walked back, looking at the car all the time. Didnt look dodgy - well, at least I hope not! :confused:
I still think a...
