    Hi Misky

    I am just outside Stockport. I am in all day if you want to come round. You can even have a drive if you want!

    I may be keeping it- I can't make my mind up. Regards Lee

    If it bothered you that much, could you not convert it to RHD, as others have done???

    do not do it....

    it takes about a week to learn to drive left handed.

    it will seriously affect the resale value...

    Re: My Turbo 2

    thank you for your kind comments i am thinking more of keeping it now . i am going to keep it a left hooker as sparkie said it will probably devalue it and he is right . i will just have to get used to itthis seems a really good club and some really helpful people

    Re: My Turbo 2

    Lee, have you been given any pointers to any of the turbo 2 parts websites? - to save Mr Price stretching your anus?
    incidentally- i've always wanted to know exactly how much Pricey charges for an engine build. cos i know who he gets to do it for him. PM me if you like.

    ive seen the workmanship and the sticker on my boot says mr price from the previous owner. i know its had a full rebuild buy him and all the other nice bits he sells for £££ but it will never go there as long as ive got it, ive only just put it all right

    really i would never intrust a old renault with any "car garage" they dont have a clue and the select few that do want mega £££££

    id rather buy it from my sites like http://www.3sdeveloppement.fr/ or http://www.mecaparts.com

    and fit it myself or bloody make it


    any questions on whats's what we are here to help

    Funny you should mention that...

    Many years ago, when I was still a young lad... my dad warned me and said: son, watching too much porn and choking your chicken too often will make you go blind!!
    So I said... Dad, I'm over here!
