@c.£23k I am not sure they are the pocket rocket bargain they purport to be though. Options list for the good stuff !!!

 

actually have been discussing EU commisions plans to allow european farmers to export an additional 500,000 tonnes of sugar to combat a worldwide supply shortage.

so this thread has help break up the mundane proceedings of that! lol

 

people should cut down on sugar. its not good for them !

 

 

price of cocoa is up aswell, so those that like a bit of chocolate...prepare to pay more for your chosen bar lol

 

Cocopops

 

I totally agree with you there, I cannot see Subaru surviving unless they radically change the current line up.

Lets face it most people initially bought a scoob due to their rally success, I know I did. Now apart from the privateers as such they are a non entity in rallying as a factory outfit.

 

it's a slippery slope though Dave, and a decision has to made whether or not to continue ploughing endless milllions into rallying or just be content with what they have at this moment. It's much the same for the other manufacturers, with ford being lucky as they owe an absolute fortune, but have secured long term payment structures, so their cashflow is pretty well managed. (not sure how subaru fair as a unit, but FHI seem to be raking it in all over the place!!!

ps: i feel sorry for people who have sugar in their cocoa !!

 

Thats GREAT news, my dad has cocoa growing on his plantation in India.

 

Buy yourself a Megayne with the Profit share You will have the ingredients for the chocolate engine too

 

All i need to do now is quickly buy a sugar plantation in Barbados and were sorted.

 

sweet !!

 

I'll do my best Hill's ..

Was only poodling up to Lakeside Spotted the Megane RS , Had a little play (Read ripped him a new ar$e ) then shock horror thought i had broken the RS , rest is history three way thread !!

 

Hawkeye? Verging on an Antiques Roadshow article of limited historic interest.

 

Here is the Renault ace though. At £22K you get a capable bit of metal for your mulah. With the equiv German fare you need to shell out another £7K.

Even your latest Impreza Sti, which is where you need to be for the performance, is a wallet hoovering £26K. Not that popular either.....

Gentlemen, the Renault Sport kit gives you that value for money and performance for the old hard earned.

 

Only a matter of time. Subaru has no product led future. They were a one trick pony.

The new WRX/Sti is nice for pulling precious Jemima's pony out of the Gymkana field, but that's about it in todays market. Buyers have voted with their feet.

Impreza Sti 330S.... Cold turkey's

 

You b'stard. That's it the friendship is over

 

Even @£22k you would have to be fooking mental to part that much cash for an obese Clio. Perhaps if you lack imagination, have given up post famile or you are indeed Frencher than a French Stick coated in French mustard, But even then I'd be thinking...Aye a'm shoore I con do bettier ???

 

Not suggesting you would want to shell out £22K for the Megane, but give me a better value new performance bit of kit for someone in that market.

I'll kick off: it aint an Sti or a Golf R or an FRS etc etc.

 

Tiny, I can already picture you and your Julie getting your middle digits warmed up and some Tesco 99 in the ammo tank ready for the ambush.

 

Litchfield

Easy, drivers car

 

Not so easy. Specialist import and not UK mainstream. A good left field choice though.

 

I think if you (not you, but in general) are serious about cars, and with the increasing availability of performance cars in general, buying from a dealer such as Litchfields isn't as left field as it may have once been. It's fairly easy to rock up to a UK dealer with £22k and say in your best Little Britain voice "i Want that one" (whatever the manufacturer), but a true petrol head looks beyond the norm

 

I wouldn't want to be in the B4 household tonight with news like that.... it could be murder!

 

Agree with that, but the UK JDM numbers sold indicates its a very, very limited market.

And, even though they are sharp handlers they still lack the all round capability of a Megane 250.

 

I would expect no other answer

 

Wise observation and in hindsight I don't want to start sounding like a Renault PR ponce. I like 'em but there are obvious limits.

 

Renault make a mean transit though, hang on so do Ford

 

Make the most of the Megane now though.

Being French it'll be falling apart in 2-3 years

Good little car though, even if it does scream GT3 RS wannabe

 

Indeed they make cracking yellow vans

Vans clearly made in different factory, as nearly 6 1/2 years and still going strong. (well apart from the Brands incident)
