Enjoyed reading this. I got a very similar R26 in October last year.

I am really enjoying it and a big bonus for me is having a Renault specialist just along the road. Not done any trackdays but hope to do one this year.

Looks great. The first and third photos look ace. Fast renaults are meant to be so much fun on track.

Cheers :thumbs:

Pleased to see you’re still enjoying this buddy and driving it as intended. Does your B5 get out equally as much or are you having too much fun in this?

Also, are you still banging out the house tunes?

Yes bud I use the B5 RS4 now and then so about 4000 miles a year and about 25k miles a year in the Megane.
