197 R27 (Deep Black) - Oxford

[Noodle999]

At Botley Interchange at about 18:15 on Tuesday, it's got Crossroads Renault stickers down the side...

Waved at the chap, he waved back, then let him go first overtaking all the slow people down the A420 as I followed, not really much difference between the two cars... and then my exit was only 1/2 a mile so couldn't carry on :dapprove:

Doubt he's on here or he'd probably have already posted a spotted... first R27 I've seen anyhow!

when you say not much difference between the new cars, do you mean he was leaving you a bit or what?

Well we went onto a dual carriageway that starts off with a very very tight bend, he was in the slow lane behind a van seemingly waiting for me to go past but I flashed him and let him pull out, he put his foot down and I did the same, but wasn't revving it as much as I could as I was conscious the engine wasn't very warm, and he increased the distance slightly by the time I got to my exit which is only 1/2 mile from the roundabout we met at. I also had about 25kg of stuff in the boot bringing it back from work.

So basically it was very hard for me to make a comparison, but it seemed to me from observing the 197 that they're fairly well matched... if that makes sense!

Thats their demonstrator.

I guessed so as it's signwritten I wonder how easily the stickers will come off though when they eventually come to sell it...

Seems they are very close then. Just imagine an 1100kg 197.........
