Always loved the NSX, there is a vid of Senna driving one on a track on youtube. I don't think I will ever be able to afford to run one though

can't imagine a NSX would be that expensive to run, Hondas are very reliable and it would probably do over 20mpg , consumables may be expensive but probably not outrageous

Renault has GONE!

Took it for a service last week and the usual loan car was out. So they lent me their demo Megane Sport R26...

When you conisder you can get this car for £16k - it's staggering!

I'm not a fan of the gearchange or the seating position, but my god it's quick!
I'd certainly take one over a Focus RS or ST. The LSD on it makes a hell of a difference to the standard Megane Sport.

Wouldn't buy one because it's not really my sort of thing tbh, but it was extrordinarilly impressive.

Have got myself a little run-around until I find my new car though. Little Festa RS Turbo. It's a little ratty, but the mechanicals are sound and shockingly has a full Ford dealer service history. Still, £1350 is bloody good. Once it's tidied up and I find a replacement it should go for ~£3k

Sad thing is...I keep on going back to looking at Maseratti's. They're drawing me in.

Those Megan sports are pretty awesome I have to say, I was very impressed with the one I testdrove.

I enjoyed my Cliosport for the time I had it, the engine is pretty basic and the trim and build quality poor but the car itself hung together well and was a good drive albiet slightly noisy.

Same reason I drive a boschmobile?

We've both experienced French cars?

I've suddenly developed a liking for the MX-5 or a S14a 200SX. Hmmm.

Nowt wrong with french cars if you know what you're getting or what to expect

The megane is phenomenal though IMO.
