cant tell how good reflections are over the net

if you add more contrast in photoshop, you get stronger colours + refs

I spy a nice V6 lurking in the background too in one of those shots, whose is that?! Saw one again the other day - even though they are impractical, not that fast or great handling they are still so sexual. Would love to get one some day...

Based on what ?? Or are you simply saying that there is better out there for the money ?

Basically yeh! Obviously not slow compared to a 1 litre Clio, but considering it is a mid engined car not blistering performance which the looks suggest.

For £15k, which is the average cost or thereabouts for a decent second hand one, there are a lot of decent alternatives. A brand new R26 Megane for example if you buy from the right places...not as many bhp but puts the ones it has onto the floor better, and would destroy it in the corners.

i am going to there open day next saturday. he should have a box of stuff waiting for me and the blackfire gel is in it along wth some menz polishes

only about 20 mins away from me

You won't be disappointed. Menzerna is the dogs danglies, on red should be easy to achieve a stunning finish.

heres hoping.....just need the weather to brighten up now.

Cheers ma dears! It's just rained and the water is beadin off! - Sexual!

Agreed, watched it yesterday, I was impressed. Although you're mum didn't seem that bothered, I think she's just lining up jobs for you to do. The f**king Iveco will be next.

PMSL! Taxi for Brand!

The Vee would destroy an R26 on the road and on track! People assume these cars don't handle! I've never been in a car with so much grip! I drove the R26 and it was no different to a trophy or F1.

Who cares what it cost...It's a rare car which sounds incredible and looks like none other! Only other car i'd buy is a TVR T350C. Nothing comes close!

I wasn't disputing their looks, rarity or sound... but the R26 is a much better handling car due to the rear slip differential. Again, not saying the V6 is bad just that there are better performing cars out there for the money. For £15k I could get an older E46 M3... but given the choice I would probably go for the V6 as it is so rare like you say.

Jesus people are so defensive about their cars... you would think I insulted someones girlfriend or something! :dead:

Granted that are a few better handling cars. DC5, VXT are 2 examples to name a few.

M3 for 15k....Shouts Bucket. More like 20k for a decent 54+Plate And i've driven a couple of M3's - did nothing for me.

Drive a vee on track and an R26 and i think you'll be shocked. People judge based on what renault and a spec sheet says!

Granted, I never let a manufacturer's information sheet sway me too much, especially after that BHP report out a while ago - the RR Sport is apparently 60-80 BHP less than advertised which is completely ridiculous if true.

I have driven an R26 and thought it was a great car, not had the opportunity on a V6 though. As I said though - love the car and would like to have one at some point.

And as for the M3 at £15k, yeah it probably would be a bit of a "well used" example!

The V6 is all about the engine and looks! The interior is crap, Trim is b****cks, it's still made of plastic and it's still going to get serviced my some 16yr apprentice pleb sooo...for 16+k you don't get much!

 

[Brand86]

Yeah that is the worst thing about buying a Renault Sport... it is a Renault! My car touch wood has been fine so far, but many aren't so lucky. The network though is an absolute joke - I don't have a single positive thing to say about it! They seem reluctant to sell you a car, and when you want anything done it will be done badly and cost too much. I would go to a RS specialist.
