'CUP' in chrome letters is surprisingly cheap bought in bulk

I notice they do a Privilège 160 FAP, I have to say the least likely urge I have on it's presentation is to FAP !

I'll pop you a white walking stick in the post.

The 2010 WRX/Sti sets the benchmark then...

Oh come now, I think you know what I mean.

I haven't always had AWD vehicles and I know which type I prefer in the wet. Especially if it's a fast get away I'm after.

Before or after discount? Another good Renault tradition - and even better value.

Of course. If I remember correctly, it doesnt rain every day though.

What about if you want the fast wet stop after the fast wet getaway. All that AWD bulk dragging out the stopping distances.

set the limit to 22k then as this would eliminate the megane as it's over the price limit?? then enter the focus st and then see what renault has to wheel in???

renaults are'nt that cheap tho, when the 197 first came out i went with my ex to price one up, she wanted the same spec as her 172 which was fully loaded, the 197 came out just shy of 19k at that point i walked out laughing and wishing the sales man the best of luck???

Keep em coming fellas.

You lot own one of the most universally acknowledged ugly series of motors with the most boring current model line up and you still like to have a pop.

Comedy stuff.

Oh dear, I think I got you on that one then!

"It doesn't rain every day" But that also means it's not dry every day either. Apparently around the London region it rains on average approximately 140 - 150 days of the year. That's a large proportion for you to have to take it easy in your FWD car and the rest of the "dry" days mine is still as good if not better!

As for the bulk dragging out the stopping distances.... That's why we have big brakes as standard!

Okay, so I am not a huge fan of the new Subaru - although I wasn't asked for my opinion by the design team (perhaps I was out of the country!)

People may think the cars are ugly - but can't that be said about anything, men, women, buildings, we all have differing tastes - thank god.

Personally, I have always wanted a Scoob, I am now lucky enough to own a Scoob and I love drving my Scooby - again my opinion - sad in some eyes, but jealousy on many others!

And do you know what is so funny? You wanting to chat to all of us so much - do you secretly want to be in our gang? Everyone's welcome you know!

Renault aren't the only manufacturer to give discount!

When I got my scoob (new) an STi could be had for just over £23k. That was a nice discount.

Are you just chief Chav then or is there a bit more substance to you?

Lets have some of your non-twaddle input.

I'm enjoying a chat on here, some good banter in a slow period at work.

Don't worry I can see the good side to Scooby ownership as I'm sure you can see some gallic hot hatch advantages - even though you are very reeeeluctant to admit it.

How can I put it to you? Have a seat.

The new £26K Sti is the same pace around Bedford West as the FRS. The Megane 250 is quicker than the FRS.

How you feeling?

Are we talking about stock family cars, or tuned kit, or stuff in the same price bracket. Tell you what - have a think and let me know what rules suit you best.

i didnt suggest for one minute racing you in my sti
i was going to run in my stock sub 23k wrx wagon
