WHAT A CAR

[ash318]

Just got back from a trip to disneyland paris and just had to say how chuffed i am with my car,especially after getting it back from mrc only the day before i went.Firstly the car took all the luggage of four quite easily although it was a little low at the back (scraped exhaust quite a few times).Secondly car performed faultlessly even in the nuthouse that is paris,i ended up on the famous arc de triomphe island they are all mad.Car recieved some admiring looks and nods from those in the know,had a run with a r8 and a aston martin db7 vantage (english plate) which ive just found out is a v12,usual scene roadworks im behind him and we both know whats coming next,road clears and off we go absolutely nothing in it and im fully loaded ,guy is pissing himself laughing as we go by,i think he was quite surprised,all in all im chuffed to bits with my new purchase,ps has anybody else driven in and out of paris and seen how the bikers weave in and out of traffic at speed they should make that a tourist attraction.

Ash - the bikers are like that all over France! Good to hear you enjoyed your blatt and glad to note that you weren't caught by the traffic Gendarmes on the Autoroutes back towards the coast (favourite haunt of theirs!).

I think you will have more power than that Ash! Now get the car back down so we can do a noise test and you can swap your car back for that renault scenic.
