Genuinely use it every day. 43+mpg and Ģ211 insurance. Very slow though!!!!
I can't decide whether to put a 1.3 TS engine in, and swallow the worse MPG :crap:
Soon to acquire some Gordini torsion bars and Koni dampers :)
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...y/IMG_2237.jpg
I would love a modern car sometimes though..... something that doesn't need me to fiddle with a choke in the morning.
sam , shes a beaut...keep fiddiling with the choke, you can get a modern car when you hit 40 years of age or more.....:laugh:;).Quote:

my sister used to have a cinqucento sporting, brilliant little car :D
between my works van and the 5 this is my daily: looks the business but they are actually quite reasonable to buy. (just not the upkeep!)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...to/cayman1.jpg
probably why the 5 has only been out 3 times this year to be honist!
my mrs drives my other car which is a 1995 Abarth Punto GT. ....4 cars 2 people, bit silly really! :)
and just to add the 5 is kept nice and dry :D the Porsche braves the elements.
Nice, is that a cayman? 3.2?
yeah cayman S 3.2. goes quite well but better for posing! its out of action at the moment as i got a puncture last week, Ģ290 for a new rear tyre :cry: so looking at part worns on ebay!
not good after a Ģ1000 service and mot bill the month before.
Its funny, and hard to explain both the 5 and the porsche get a lot of attention but in a different way.
Thanks, this petrol station is in Loudwater in Bucks.Quote:

Thanks Adscan and Jesus. It has only done 52,000 miles from new.
Yeah, not many around, but when they do come up for sale, they are so cheap.
For whatever reason they are pretty worthless to most - so many must have just been crushed.
I think it is a handsome car, although it is gold :laugh: .... better when lowered a touch.
Hope this works. The last one had a fit :rolleyes: Edit :yeah: it works
My daily, although its not the most practical one!

Not the best picture but never planned to take one :D it is of course my sleeper
Currently stock other than pulling all the crap off the engine not required, full service and some software to make it at least move - 220bhp 4wd tow barge, de spec'd brakes and arb etc make for interesting angles
Based on the Mk4 R32 platform so lots of cheap upgrades and the new tfsi lump fits nice and easy so always the option to go 375bhp for not so much money - got my eye out for the R32 fancy seats which fit straight in
Small enough to not cost the earth to run and big enough for family wagon and towing cars
As per all VAG cars its not a true 4wd and have to drive it in a different way to get the most from it :laugh:
Oh and when I drive nice (about once a week it will do an easy mid 30mpg return) the other 6 days are 20-27 lol

look out!!!

Here is is sat with a few other old Renaults at a Village car show in south-west France.
I am driving it over 600 miles at the weekend :scratch:
