182 Trophy
I was just reading the thread about 1*2 vs 197, and noticed some people have had a fair few Renaults.
I doubt I can remember all of the cars I've had, but it ranges from a Calibra, Rover 220 Coupé, Genuine ACS 325 all the way down to a banged out old £35 R5.
The last four years has consisted of these;
Corrado VR6 (Standard)
Corsa VXR (de-cat downpipe):
Focus ST500 (remapped, Mountune cat-back).
Oh, and my favourite thing about the ST - red leather
A new arrival forced me to ditch the ST for a sensible (boring) Focus (the only picture I have of it - you'll also see my Mondeo V6 in the background, which the 182 technically replaced)
The upshot was, I had plenty of money left to buy myself a toy ripe for some real abuse
If I'm honest, I've loved every single one of them (with the exception of the 1.6 Focus perhaps ). Each has it's pros and cons - still not found that perfect car, but all brilliant cars. Perhaps my problem is my penchant for bloody hot hatches, but I've yet to find something that's quite as fun in the real world - on the road.
