Glad my post was taken in the spirit is was meant - by most people anyway! ;) Just read this months Evos letters and a guy refers to seeing a burgundy F1 in Oxford being driven by Rowan Atkinson - cant be many of those around Oxford so it was almost certainly his car (and kid) that I saw...

This is dedicated to anyone who says that the V6 isnt that special: I was driving into work around the ring road in Oxford on Friday when I see a McLaren F1 waiting to come onto the roundabout on the other carriageway. That in itself was good to see - its only the second time Ive ever seen...

Cheers - yes Im sure theyve been looning around in it. I stupidly forgot to take a speedo reading so cant prove anything - but curbing doesnt happen in a body shop...so thats enough proof for me. Ive sent a formal complaint to Elephant vai email - had to do something while I was so cross...

Thanks for the responses. Bryan - I know but perhaps if they do take on my cause Ive got more clout. EvilJohn - They wont be open until Tuesday so I cant until then. I cant see any reason why theyd need to though - the original damage was only on one side and the rear wheel is at least 2...

Some guy side-swiped my 4 month-old V6 255 a few weeks ago his fault, but very little damage except side pod slightly cracked. It went to an my insurance-approved repairer last week. Just cleaned it and guess what? Theyve obviously had all 4 wheels off scratched each one with the air wrench...

I did, although I paid a bit less than £25k. Asking other people why they buy a certain car is fine, but dont expect a simple answer. I buy sports cars because they make me feel good. I cant explain it is simple terms and often it isnt logical (to my wife anyway). In fact , thinking about it...

Hi Andy, I was looking for a second-hand 255 last month and saw the 2 in Poole. I rang the dealer straight away and they were sold even then. I rang round loads of dealers and they all said the same thing - that V6s are very rare and because they are so specialist, they dont generally buy...

We all know that "small soft top sports cars" are girls cars...its a known fact....lol;) Simon. And the Renault Nicole, sorry Clio, is most definitely a womans car. Its a statistical fact that more Clios are driven by female hairdressers than any other car in the World. I work in market...

Ive just got swapped a VX 220 Turbo (having had the NA VX220 before that) for a Mk 2 V6, so I am probably reasonably qualified to comment. First go to http://www.vx220.org.ukwww.vx220.org.uk - this will give you unlimited (free) access to a cracking forum where every question you have relating...

Damn, there goes the rarity value!

Thanks James - mine is the same edition but it looks like the printers have well and truly buggered mine up - bloody French;)! The first pages you mention dont exist at all in mine - weird. Perhaps itll be worth something in future - it certainly isnt worth anything to me!

Cheers for that - Ive now found your original post Ronin:oops:. I seem to have a very strange owners manual - the first page is numbered 2.03 and then it goes through section 2, section 3 and then after page 3.18 starts at page 1.29. After section 1 is then goes to section 2 again! Im very...

My V6 tyres are 25 psi all round, which seems rather low, anybody know what they should be? I know this sounds stupid, but theres supposed to be a label showing tyre pressures on my V6, but I cant find it anywhere. Ive looked in the manual, and theres no mention of the actual pressures...

Simple answer - dont buy new unless you want to lose a stack of cash in a few weeks. Examples: I bought one last week privately, with less than 500 miles on the clock and 4 weeks old for £22k. There was an ex demo car with 1000 miles on it which Renault in Bury St Edmunds had on at £22.5k...

I rang them on Tuesday and asked about the V6 as I was very sceptical that they could do it at that price as all the dealers I spoke to said it was impossible. The guy (Adrian) was very honest and admitted that hed never actually delivered any and agreed to find out if it was possible. On...
