197 on my driveway!!

[Rich]

Dont be showing up my sh*te photography Rich

Oh.. and the 300 mile press car had a new front bumper fitted today! toooooo many stone chips haha

I wouldnt dare! Pics look cool to me.

LOL paint is nice and hard as ever then Renault!

After looking at my side on pics i think i can see what i dont like about that angle.

The front wing is so angled and mean looking... where as the backend is too 'smooth' just looks weird

 

[Rich]

I know what you mean, could not find an angle it all looked good from.

 

[Bubbles]

if i could take the set up and interior from it and put it on the looks of the 182, id have the perfect hot hatch hehe

 

[Mells]

that looks better than in the glossy piccys that have already been released.

love the ass end but the side looks pretty non descript. bit like a pug.

still want one tho...

 

[Bubbles]

If it came in liquid.... *runs away to the bathroom* hehe

 

[martynh]

This is the best angle of 197, I like the rear view, looks kinda squat and sporty.

I like that pic cause my car is in it!

Shes like "Mum, why are you looking at that blue pumped up THING, get back over here and fluffle me!"

 

[Graham Gooch]

I told you you would be uncontrolable if that happens!

pmsl... i cant believe you just said that... out loud!

 

[Bubbles]

It being in yellow would make the outside appeal enough for me to buy one i think - i know its sad

 

[bunzee]

i really like it

need to start saving up i think!

 

[Bubbles]

OH and another thing i asked

the start button has "Start/Stop" written on it... so i said "so, if you press it whilst going along.. will the engine cut out?"

Aparently you have to press it 8 times very very quickly... and it will, i didnt try it! hehe

Come on we need a real world road test with all these things tried out!

Do the things other testers are scared to do and/or ask :evil: :clown:

 

[Fred@BTM]

So does that mean that you drive from Upper Heyford to work in Stone every day?

Thats one hell of a drive to work.

I used to drive past Upper Heyford years ago going from Abingdon to Stoke (before the M40 was extended up to the M42). I only used to do it at weekends though. I also used to go bowling there ocassionally.

no, i'm at Motorsport college in Bisceter mon-thursday, and up in stone on friday

(my family home is in Solihull)

 

[GazCB]

and now look again....

No-one put off by this

 

[Fred@BTM]

LMAO!

Renault RS KA!!

 

[edgerfs]

The backs alright even tho it does look like a Ka. The front is just fugly though, looks really amateurish.

 

[Bubbles]

The backend looks like a fat ford Ka

I said the same Gaz

 

[Lou]

If it came in liquid.... *runs away to the bathroom* hehe

No chance of this happening then??
It would look stunning in this colour!!

 

[Bubbles]

Dunno babes, we can but hope

 

[oneseventwo]

That could be the same guy I saw yesterday as I was leaving work. He was coming out of Adderbury, heading towards Aynho. Always thought the 197 looking a bit dumpy in the pictures, but on the road it looked pretty good.

 

[oneseventwo]

tell a fib, it wasn't 152, it was 140

here's where i live! http://www.raf-upper-heyford.org/ArielPhoto1.jpg

Didn't realise you lived at Upper Heyford - I used to be in Steeple Aston before I moved to Banbury. Once went to get my tyres changed at the place on the base (think they serve QEK?) and there was a load of VW/Audi group stuff, including the RS6 that they give to Frank Lampard, just sat with the engine running

 

[Tyson-182]

Did you not have a wee dabble with the 197 in your 182? I would of loved to hear how they faired up..! It does look good, test drive is next for me. My insurance is due in Sept so i might change car then!

Tyson.

 

[Brad182]

Sorry guys but i still think its an ugly car,

In the backend shot of it, it just looks like an electric car.

 

[Karlos182]

That's some good work there Bubbles!
Yeah we need some kind of head to head test: 182 vs 197

 

[Bubbles]

Haha shall i pop round? thing is... im a girl, he has s**t hot breaks... but mines had a 19k run in, his has had 300 miles hehe

 

[Rich]

Do it!
