Blue F1

Dave, thanks for the quick response. oh, and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrggghh! Maybe the Clios don't have the multitude of technical issues that Meganes seem to... lucky you. Sigh. Hamstrung, I am actually a car. Daz. thanks.

Could the admins PLEEEEASE make a rule that people have to put the exact MODEL and SERIES of their car either in their signature, or in their fricking posts! It is really frustrating, especially when someone is discussing technical issues and usually ASKING for help or advice and they DON'T SAY WHAT THEIR CAR IS!!! It's just plain bad manners. Saying that you have an RS 225 is not good enough - is it a Sport, Sport cup, series 1, series 2, 225 F1 Team (Blue), 225 F1 R26, or what? (I've even seen discussion (in the FOR SALE / WANTED, usually) where it didn't specify whether it was for Clio or Megane!) They are different - just look up my posts on windscreen wipers - and if one batch of cars had a bad set of coil packs, or needed new injectors, or a rusty muffler - it would help to know. Considering that Renault Australia are a bit "reluctant" to share common problems (as someone said it's like getting blood from a stone) and even DENY sometimes that a problem has ever existed (read: rear LHS wheel alignment on Renault Megane F1and Cups) - if people put their model/series in, it helps a lot. I have used the input from this forum SO MANY TIMES to get stuff fixed, after initially being fobbed off. Ahh. OK , I've had my rant, I feel better now. Daz

I'd like a sticker but what does it look like? The photo is not very clear - it has a chunky Renault sport sticker with the web address at the bottom - so is it the whole thing?, - or just the web address? thanks Daz.

Thanks for the responses everyone, especially Benst - you would not believe the number of family and friends who've had words with me about buying another two door car - I mean like it's unusual - I've been driving a coupe pretty much since 1987! Yes, Dom, that's the car - I drove all the way to Melbourne the next day, where it is waiting to get on the boat - 800 - odd Kms and yes - I wanted to get back in and drive some more!! It is just the perfect car for driving the roads down here... but I have to wait a couple of weeks now. regards

Hi all, I've been perusing what I can of your forum for a while now, but didn't feel I could join up until I had a Renault. It seems to be one of the friendliest and least pretentious car forums I've been on. I went for a drive in a cup sport 225 early last year (several times) but it was a lttle too much money and not yet the right time to buy. Somehow the reasons for looking at the cup sport (4 doors, hatchback, put the baby in the back, the wife can drive it.... ) morphed very quickly when I saw a couple of 225 F1 's for sale ... repeated discussions with the wife about how practical it would be ( I was the one with concerns - she said go for it) and last week I flew to Adelaide and bought one. Whilst the photos were good, you can't quite capture how fantastic these cars look in the metal. I love it, and I'm still grinning....... So thanks, and I look forward to future discussions - and reading more of the forum as a member. regards
