Drove a Vee last night

[DaveLiquid182]

As above Mk 2 255. Woohoo what a beast. I didnt want to get out of it. Sounded awesome without the engine covers on as well. Will be off to see the bank manager next summer.

 

[Flame172]

i find mine without the engine covers pretty unbearable, so bloody hot

 

[BREMBO]

Nice, very lucky!. Was it just a test drive or a buddy who owns 1 or sumthin ?

Glad u enjoyed it... I love the V6 !

 

[Justin]

Nice one, i wish i could afford one!

It was bloody hot, but windows wide open no prob.
I wouldnt have minded if i boiled to death cos the noise was just incredible

It was DennisV6 on here

 

[Flame172]

well thats what i thought when i first drove mine, but after about 10 miles i thought i was going to pass out, it was too hot, but as you say the noise is pretty special.
Save up and get one mate

 

[DaveLiquid182]

All being well if i can hunt one down it will be a Liquid Yellow one next summer

 

[Flame172]

get mars red, its the best colour

 

[DaveLiquid182]

Would have to see a mars red to be convinced. Only seen it in pics. Liquid yellow is awesome and extremely rare

 

[Bluebeard]

I had one for a week. AWESOME!!!!!

 

[Flame172]

yellow is as rare as red, 18 made in each colour

 

[quickshift]

I had one for a week. AWESOME!!!!!

why only a week ???

 

[DebV6]

I love the vy in mars red and liquid yellow, the nicest and rarest colours, in fact I don't think I've ever seen a mk2 mars red!

I'm jealous I wanna go.

The mars red does look gorgeous, although Liquid Yellow is sexy as! Go on Dave, get one!!

 

[tommyboy]

I really want one but I think I'll stick to getting either a Golf R32 Mk4 or Integra DC5 Type R due to reliabity and build quality pissing all over Renault.

 

[Flame172]

well im happy for people to look around my car, i dont mind taking you lot for a drive

 

[LadySarah]

Would you let us drive it too?

(pick me!)

 

[Fletcher]

iirc only 18 liquid yellow V'6s were made.

 

[Flame172]

yeah i might let you drive it, if your insured haha. And presuming you are a half decent driver.

Hi. lol

 

[SNAKEY!182]

i have a lunar grey v6 .... i think that is the rarest colour !.....get a v6 im on my second one , they are an amazing car to drive .....not to keen on driving it with the engine cover off ....to hot and far to many clunks for my likeing !

 

[Flame172]

lunar grey, very very nice. There was one up for sale recently about 20k. nice choice

 

[SNAKEY!182]

They seem to be holding there value well. i had a mk2 titanium vee, had it 6 months and done 5000 miles and got back what i paid for it !

 

[Flame172]

yeah if think there will always be a strong market for the mk2 v6

 

[DazG]

Dave if you get a Vee I will buy the house next to yours just so I can look out the window and see it!

Its about time Den let me have a go

 

[LadySarah]

Its about time Den let me have a go

And me!

 

[Dash]

Liquid yellow.

 

[SimonV6]

get mars red, its the best colour

I agree.....lol

I have never seen another Mars red v6 255 in the flesh yet, only 18 in the uk, so they say.....

 

[Clio_V6_255]

You supposed to drive with the covers on the engine.

I thought that was what the a/c was for! :clown:

I love mine to bits!:approve:

I wish I could say the same for my current 1.2 litre curtesy sh1tter!

BUT getting back in the Vee is going to be SOOO good. Hmm that new car feeling again!:evil:

[M7CUO_V6]

Ye but with an IK & sports zorst the noise was fooking awesome, deafening infact. Sounded just like an F1 car

Have you ever been in a Vee, tommy? Not wanting to belittle either the R32 or Teggy Type-R, but the Vee is just in a completely different league of 'road presence'. In the past week, I've already seen three R32s - one of the previous model and two of the newer ones. I did see one Vee - and that was at Renault Rochdale on Saturday, which for the sake of this argument - dealerships don't count.

If you want a bomb-proof car that will probably never fail you in the time you own it, then I can see where you're coming from with both the choices above. But if you want to get into a car that makes you feel special, makes you want to drive and gives you a sense of minor Z-list celebrity status, then the Vee really is the way to go. And that burble on idle..... well....... Reno did a great job of making that Laguna lump sound excellent.
