.... just taken my brothers car out for a little 'italian tune up'. So much more nimble than the mk5 GTI.

Nice little cars.

Perfect choice for people who want an exciting, great handling, fun to drive car - without pouring £THOUSANDS into suspension mods for their mk5  :wink:

I bet it's immense on track  :drool:

Thanks guys.

I wouldnt say its slow. I meant, yes it feels slow against my car... but that mines got another 100+bhp. I love the fact you really have to wind the engine up to get it to go, shame its not got another 50bhp to go with it.

Gray... yes, they are fun on track. Ive been around cadwell as a passenger in it and its funny....  :signLOL: :signLOL:

I miss mine, but I got rid at the right time - 6 months of fun, massively abused on track and all it cost me was the rent.

If you managed to do that in a FWD Clio Mike, best avoid the track with the BMW!  :happy2:

Driver error. Something was wobbling around on the car in front and I let it distract me.

I was 100% 'on it', well up the top of 4th. Missed my braking point had to do the split second decision of what escape plan? Decided it was safer to lob it in straight rather than attempt the bend, then understeer/oversteer into the litter sideways and roll.

Felt pretty stupid, but lesson learnt and got away with it  :happy2:

Quality pics Rich as usual :smiley:

Always thought the change in front bumper/grill from the 197 gave these a duck look, but the rear was nicely improved.

Well the 200 has about 190bhp so it won't set your pants on fire!

Word is that my Bro has his eye on a megane 265... Watch this space.
