Lol fancy some whiskers?

 

[Mr Burns]

Not much to report so far, other than I hit a pothole which caused a chain of events but hopefully I'm all sorted for the time being.

Private reg makes a return...

Talk you into it......... I'll be dragging you there hahaha

 

[Mr Burns]

Nowt new here! It has stayed clean for more than 24hrs so I took a picture...

Always had a soft spot for these, very nearly bought one. I just can't justify the fuel costs over my current daily.

 

[Mr Burns]

I'm impressed with the economy considering the performance... I don't drive like a granny and still manage to keep it in the 30's MPG-wise.

 

[Mr Burns]

Well I haven't actually done much at the car other than some Brembo discs and Mintex 1144 pads, along with a set of RS-R's. Once they were scrubbed-in nicely I headed here...

I managed a 9:15 BTG lap which I'm pretty contented with considering the amount of traffic and my lack of experience on the track. I drove with the intention of getting the car home in one piece!

 

[Mr Burns]

Couple of pictures on-track...

Bit of a lock-up... Renault ABS at its best!

 

[imprezaworks]

Would really like one of these

 

[Mr Burns]

Honestly mate, if you can buy one and not have any reliability issues then you'll absolutely love it... I went to the 'Ring with 50 of my mates in over 20 cars in convoy with the cruise control on with leather, climate in complete comfort... Then did an easy 9m 15s lap with loads of traffic which was up there with all my mates stripped-out track toys, then drove back home again... Averaged 31.4 MPG including my 5 laps of the 'Ring, which I think is brilliant!

 

[imprezaworks]

Will see how the finances pan out in the next few months. Doing stuff with the house etc. priorities etc

@Mr Burns

You still happy with the car mate?

 

[Mr Burns]

Yes mate, it's probably the best all-round car I've owned. The Ignis was more fun and the Civic was better built, but the Megane is a good compromise between them. If it wasn't French it would be a masterpiece of a car, but because it is it's just a good motor!

It definitely has something that the Civic lacks... That bit of French charm makes up for its build quality weaknesses.
