Not even a sniff of a flamethrower.

I do like it when you Scooby chaps have a poke at Renault styling and design.

I bet with when each iteration of the latest Subaru was revealed there was that universal sigh of .......‘not another runt in the litter’.

Just catching up with a bit of admin:

The Litchfield JDM Spec C was never the same price new as a Megane 250. Much more expensive. Also an aftermarket tuned product. Not factory standard.

Straight down to the basics. Nice.

Is it true that the Scooby exhaust diameter is inversionally proportional to the drivers ***** diameter?

Does he do anything more than observational comments and just summaries?

You know something constructive, free thinking, debatable....

I summarise because you cloud the issues with utter dribble...and I’m observational in a sense as to point out when said person is spouting utter dribble...cutting through all the '****' as it were.

Constructive?
Sell your car

Free thinking?
You own a Renault...A R-E-N-A-U-L-T...about as useful as a **** flavored lollypop

Debatable?
Your driving competency and sexual preference

Believe me sunshine, if you wish to contest my knowledge or practical 'skill' you should know I have owned many different types of performance cars covering FWD, AWD and RWD so I base my facts on genuine, applied knowledge.

If you really want to carry this on....please feel free but factor this into your equations:

You have not proved any one singular point as everything you have posted has been, in turn, ridiculed. Also (as you seem to have missed your own reason for posting) you are comparing a Megane to an RS then to a Subaru...what's next, Ascari A10? That may seem extreme but then again, so have your claims.....You have bought an underpowered cheap wannabe FWD 'sports' car...there is no-one else to blame but yourself so stop putting your insecurities on others when you yourself should have kept on going that fateful day instead of walking into that dealership and handing over the cash for something that will depreciate as quickly as every other Renault, will break at every available opportunity and that you will ultimately get rid of once you admit it to yourself.

So have a think, take some notes from this lesson and come back to me with something worth responding to.

Schools out, you get a C- and your mother will meet you by the front gate

That`s brilliant
But do you know what I don`t think he`s clever enough to realise you are right and I reckon he`ll be back for more.

Firstly, do you work in a corner shop?

Secondly, is that a wannabe but failed porker I see in your stable? Also a 2WD.

Give you something worth responding to?

I can see I need to resubmit my dissertation as you appear to be spending too much time behind the bike sheds with little Johnnie’s pants down rather than digesting the discussion material.

Here we go again, a single input (repeated):

The latest generation of Renault FWD LSD equipped hot hatches are more capable, lighter, and faster on circuit, than any price comparable Subaru or AWD competitor. The game has moved on.

Discuss......

I’m hoping for a gold star.

New clutch including fitting at a Renault specialist is £495 +VAT. Not bad eh?

You don't always need to replace the Dual Mass flywheel.

Santa Pod is a working class activity. Enjoy it.

Online reviews FTW

"Renault have struck a new deal with breakdown service provider Green Flag. Initial roll out will re-franchised and FOC on all new 2010 Meganes, the aptly named 'White Flag', recognises the on going issues Renault have with reliability "....
