Yeah I absolutely love it, cheers

Stunning! I used to own number 39, Lunar Grey. Miss it so much after seeing these pictures. Keep up the good work mate.

awesome, didn't know you'd had one, no. 39 rings a bell to me, sure the guy who owns it is on a Renault forum I'm on.

I went the other way to you, gti to megane.

I had it from new for over 2 years, then sold it to Tony Lewis (TRL on most forums) and a guy named Ben Griffin owns it now.

We're all on the MeganeSport forum so you've probably seen it about. I had an S5 BMX registration, you may recognise it from the plate?

This thread has made me realise how much I miss it, especially the Ti exhaust.  :laugh:

Thats a nice R26R

I used to own a 2005 225 meg with few mods and over 260hp. Now i'm in a Leon 2.0 tfsi with DSG

Really miss the megane, compared to the feel of the Leon it was like a go-kart.

Can only imagine how much better and more responsive the R26R is compared to mine, not to mention compared to the VW feel.

I've done a few performance mods to this but just enhancements as to how I felt it should have come out the factory. The handling and grip really is something else.

I did a track day with a friend last year who has a turbo'd Honda civic with just over 300bhp, full FIA cage and properly stripped and track set up and there was nothing in it and mine was fully standard then.

yeah I know the car you owned, a great combination and thankfully still been properly looked after as well.
