How come the people getting on their high horses about speeding, drive fast cars? I've got a 200 and I didn't buy it poodle around. I bought because it has some back bone. I wouldn't boot it around town at midday but at midnight down the motorway and I'm feeling flush with some fuel money, I'll blow the cobwebs off. Seems a bit weird to have a Renaultsport of some description and drive it like Miss Daisy's chauffeur. Get a 1.2 and just change the badges if you want. Why pay the insurance premium if you never boot it?
Like the guy with the rear engined Nova says, the speed limits were set way back in the day when cars took a week to stop, these days with ABS, traction control, better pads and my huge Brembos, I can stop a damn sight quicker than a Vauxhall Viva.
Even though the OP comes across as a bit interesting with his grammer, I'm sure he some common sense.
