Wasnt on it mate..........

 

[jon_r]

Yup its on next week, not this week as previously expected. Think its been mentioned on the RenaultSport forum that it was meant to be on yesterday.

 

[paddymph]

[h3lter]

[Rich-D]

Thank God it wasnt on last night, as I missed TG.

 

[newbie# old172]

[AndyG]

dont forget; next weeks T.G. is at 10pm folks!

 

[Liam]

hope clarkson doesnt drive it or he will moan about the space, mind I heard the comment about french cars are cool, so maybe it will do good.

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

What colour 182 did they use please Jeremy? I hope it was black or yellow - but I bet it was boring silver!!

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

To be fair the V6 255 was in the pouring rain

 

[craig182]

Quicker than the Clio v6??? What gives?

[Oh and MANY thanks Jeremy!!!]

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

The lap is will be well worth watching as it spent most of the time on 3 wheels

Ah! ... thanks

 

[Scribbler]

Thats pretty damn awesome

 

[craig182]

So do you have any idea how the review went?

(You presumably work for BBC/Topgear then??)

Craig

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

No, Renault UK

The reviews good

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

It was one of our Racing Blue with stripes

 

[Sawa]

Jeremy works for Reno UK, so he probably took the 182 up to TG.

Cant wait to see the review and lap now!

 

[Trail182]

Thanks alot for the info Jeremy... Ive been crapping my pants about watching TG on Sunday in case it gets slated. Feel much better now tho!!

 

[Clio_MTV]

I reckon sales will soar after this.

Nice one! (Im sooo fed up being a computer programmer when there are jobs in the world like yours!! )

So can you give us any details on the review or does it have to stay under wraps? (we wont tell ... honest! )

Thanks again!

Craig

 

[paddymph]

thats an ace time, whos gonna be first to post it on the CTR forums... hehe

 

[MarkCup]

Vindication for all the doubters at last

 

[Scribbler]

Jeremy any plans for a 182 exclusive at the end of the production run, if not i suggest you bring it up at your next brain storming sesion if you get that sort of import, i for one wil defo buy one!

You should put them in "Dry" and "Wet" times, because I know for sure the Elise, Clio V6 and Vanquish where all wet times.

Infact the Clio V6 was in Torential rain, would loved to have seen how much better the times where in the Dry?
