Quite a bit of love for Renaultsport. About half way through kicks in.
R26R, Williams, 200, 5 Turbo, Meg 250/265/275.

Was at a random tower & the car bark was rutted & tree root ridden.
Parked next to this.
Interestingly had just watched a Video on Youtube the night before on Caymen R saying how rare they were. Only 100 in the UK.
Upto this point I had no idea what it was.
Half way up to tower I hear it...
Well I went to a fair & got a garden ornament. At the stall she called it 'ready to rust'
So to help my 14 year old daughter I had a little experiment.
I dipped one bird in salt Solution (3%) and painted Bilt Hamber Atom Mac on the other.
After 1 Day.
After 6 Days. Dry But overnight...
Just back from Hols. In my extensive pic taking snapped a few of locals.
The bumper thing on Mazda was weird but I saw a few. Not really a boot guard fold out. Imagine it scratches pretty bad.
Spotted loads.
First a Clio Trophy going past the station then a Blue 182 a little later along by Morrisons then a Black R26 Meg with Stickers.
I was walking for first in in Yellow Meg for others.
I know V6's been near the £100k & Trophies got above £20k.
But this AG Clio 200 Press Car with 'CL10 CUP' plate is on Collecting Cars. Its on a roll.
I may have had a punt myself at £15k (inc fees). Even with that needs a bit of paint and Recaro's sorted. Too rich for me now...
Coming the other way at Crossbush.
Big waves to me in my Yellow Megane.
Was off to Goodwood to watch some of a time trial sprint at the track. Only downside was muddy field to park in.
I have noticed recently when I put my foot down I get a stutter at 4-5k revs.
It seems to be more under hard throttle with sport button pushed. Although have only experienced 2-3 times.
Now the car is a Megane 275. 6 years old. 22k miles. Just had service about 2 months/3k ago with Cambelt...
My wife got a MX5 earlier in the year.
Its now 8 years old. Only done 6k.
So tyres are 8 year old OEM bridgestones but got 7-8mm on them. When I looked at other low miles MX5's the tyres had cracked sidewalls if still on originals. But these still look like new I guess it was hardly driven &...
Just had a look as was thinking of replacing my front Michelin PS4s on my Megane with the same tyre to match the rears. Not desperate.
Seems like thin pickings on most premium tyres.
Has this been going on post covid?
Not needed Tyres for a while.
Coming through Worthing on the A27 in slow moving traffic yesterday.
Any RS a rare sight these days never mind a Grey one. Last time I saw a Grey one was my own 10 years ago!
Gave the thumbs up in my LY Cup-S.
Anybody used these?
I just got a NC MX5. Its a 25th Anniversary. But its only done 4k miles in 7.5 years and I was told it had never seen rain. And underside looks like it just rolled off the production line.
Now its life is about to change. It will still be garaged when not in use and will...
Got back home today at 15:30.
Had driven through some white gloss somewhere. All up the side of the car. Not a good look on LY.
Nightmare.
Cleaning it up with soapy water & a rag as still wet. Then went over with Autoglym SR polish.
Worst pat was the car was actually quite dirty & gritty in...
I saw a clio 200 for sale on autotrader claiming 240 bhp.
Said it had ktec cam, porting exhaust , filter and remap.
Don't see many n.a. conversions, mostly meg engines.
Anyond had this done?is that power possible?
In a similar vain to the"Anyone going for long drives" hopefully with less abuse.
To relieve boredom I regularly look at pistonheads. Still a few nice cars coming up from private sellers.
Noticed a nice black gold car with low miles and Recaros.
I may have taken a look at such a car, unlikely...
