1.5 Renault Clio Dci 65

1.5 Renalt Clio Dci 80

I liked the noise of the Alfa 145, the nippy handling of the Puma and the cheapness of the Clio.

I hated everything about the Punto and I didn't like the look or boat like feel of the Astra.

At the moment I'm strongly considering another Ford Puma 1.7, yes or no?!

He brought it to a southern meet (I miss those!) and IIRC there was an, erm, "air gap" betwixt the front and rear sections of the exhaust pipe, and it was a V6...

It was also when I lived near him and had the 328i...we had a tail happy drive back, those RWD cars are so twitchy and dangerous. ;)

I'm not sure what happened, officer. I was just driving along and all of a sudden I lost control and the back end was sliding. I panicked and wasn't sure what to do so I kept power on the accelerator but the wheels just kept spinning :cool:

I am the not-so-proud owner of a CD10 / 6 points and I can assure you this does not wash :p

Kind Regards
