but then again if you two are going to talk Renault 5 Turbo talk then i might go to Thorneys

instead

If I get Rob, E46ACS along as well you might be forced to hear about them all day!

I'll see what's going on for me later this week but think I'd really enjoy Snetterton. Might go and hang around in the Simpson Motorsport pit and pretend to be important.

Won't be in the CSL as it's having some fancy bits fitted.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Britcars nearly as much as the trackday i'm doing there tomorrow.

Thankfully I have no idea what a Gay Charmade is! I guess you have to be a fully paid up member of the Renault Fan Club to get those documents.

It was a White hatchback and without doubt the worse car I have ever owned. Even my burgundy Volvo 244 'Golders Green ' tank was significantly better.

How much is the Charmade club to join?

I had a Renault 19 16V hatch. I hated the damn thing. No torque and nothing happened until 4000rpm. Stuck a scorpion exhaust & K&N induction kit on it which made no difference. I bought it basis a group test in Evo where it beat the Astra GSi 16v and a couple of other cars to come first. Chopped it in for a Peugeot 306 S16 which was much better. Shimmy the Chamade was the saloon version.

First car I drove was a Renault 19 1.7L, at the time it felt like a rocket ship.

PS. Should I bring pics of my old Clio Cup race car so I can join in with the "we heart Renault" club?

I did own a Rover 416 GSI for a while and i have to admit i quite enjoyed driving it. I paid £1600 for it and it drove really well (Honda Engine) electric everything and plenty of room.

Not sure i should have admitted to that but atleat it wasn't a Volvo Shimmy
