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...

If the spigots take no load at all, are we saying that the mass of the car is suspended on 4 small studs/bolts and the friction only of the wheel mating surface against the hub? Really? So 4 spindly bolts and a some friction is what keeps the wheels where they should be when you barrel into a...

C**t.

As is keyless start. Enjoy it, will be interested to hear your Golf comparisons as the miles grow and you settle/dial into it.

Wow. Just seen that. I'll try again; So £5,500 get's you an upgraded titanium exhaust, Cup tyres, a couple of seats and a lot of deletions due to weight saving. F*** me Renault. That's a bold pricing strategy.

So that's a £7,500 premium for the 'R' over the Trophy. £2,000 of that is, we know, the trick suspension. So £5,500 get's you an upgraded titanium exhaust, Cup tyres, seats, bigger brakes, and a lithium-ion battery along with a lot of deletions due to weight saving. Worth it?

So it's a Trophy-R apparently. Anyone want to spend £37k on a Megane?

Looks fantastic :approve:
