Renault Dealer in France: I've never seen a 197 in real life

[MikeCracknell]

No joke.

I went into a dealer down here in some random village I passed through as I realised I forgot to get a spare set of bulbs which is a legal requirement.

When the guy asked me what car it was for, I replied a 197, he said "What a ClioSport? Do you have it here?" I said that it was outside, he then said to two of his colleagues "This guy has a clio 197, and it is outside!"

They were all over it like a rash - and he said he'd never seen one in real life lol!

I am shocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was quite an honour though
