Pommie Posted 1, January 2012 Report Posted 1, January 2012 Hello everyone, I pick up my new rs250 cup Trophee on the 16 th,.. Look forward to seeing a few of you out there. Quote
griffyn Posted 1, January 2012 Report Posted 1, January 2012 Howdy! Great to see more faces from Melbourne. I think it may be time for a drive one evening sometime soon Quote
Apex Posted 2, January 2012 Report Posted 2, January 2012 Welcome. Look forwarded to seeing some pictures? What colour did you get? Waiting for someone to buy a red one. Quote
Pommie Posted 2, January 2012 Author Report Posted 2, January 2012 I got a white one and I cannot wait..... I am going to get it remapped fairly shortly after getting it, I am leaning towards the Bluefin. I will upload some pictures when I pick it up.. Quote
foxleg Posted 2, January 2012 Report Posted 2, January 2012 What colour did you get? Waiting for someone to buy a red one. If I was getting another one, I would pick Capsicum Red... nice rich burnt red... Quote
Danny Posted 2, January 2012 Report Posted 2, January 2012 Welcome Pommie. Always good to have more 250's in the fold! Where in Melb are you located? Quote
Pommie Posted 2, January 2012 Author Report Posted 2, January 2012 Welcome Pommie. Always good to have more 250's in the fold! Where in Melb are you located? In the eastern suburbs - Doncaster. Quote
nemz Posted 2, January 2012 Report Posted 2, January 2012 Welcome and congrats on the new car! If you need any modding ideas have a look at ace's build thread - it's a beast. Quote
Dish Posted 2, January 2012 Report Posted 2, January 2012 Welcome! re. red 250s: saw a red Trophee with 19s in the Berwick showroom. It has the grey trim bits... A while ago, I saw a Cup spec with black trim and black 18s which I think worked far better. Certainly my choice if I was to order one, but I would want leather Recaros mmmm mmmm mmmm Quote
Danny Posted 2, January 2012 Report Posted 2, January 2012 Welcome Pommie. Always good to have more 250's in the fold! Where in Melb are you located? In the eastern suburbs - Doncaster. Another one! 3 of us are from Warrandyte. We're getting a bit of an Eastern Crew going these days! Quote

I am near tunstall square, I have not picked up my 250 yet, I get it when I get back from Los Vegas on the 16th.... Look forward to seeing you all out there. I must admit I have only seen 2 250's on the road in the last couple of months. I did see the previous model sport outside my shop today (fishy business aquariums) in blackburn. Quote
mairo Posted 3, January 2012 Report Posted 3, January 2012 Welcome Pommie! I think I have been in that aquarium shop few times before with Rado's 182. ... If you see RB182 (LECUP) or Blue Gordini in Doncaster, minus the green P plates that Rado is referring too, its probably me, or Rado is driving illegally! mairo Quote
bubstr Posted 8, January 2012 Report Posted 8, January 2012 I believe there are at least a couple more Eastern crew members but sightings are still pretty rare Quote
LigerZero Posted 8, January 2012 Report Posted 8, January 2012 I'm a 250 in the Eastern 'burbs. Dead Centre of Mitcham no more than 5-10 minutes from everybody here. I do see most of everybodies cars from time to time. Welcome to the fold Pommie. Quote
Pommie Posted 15, January 2012 Author Report Posted 15, January 2012 It is almost time for me to pick up my car, I am sitting in Las Vegas airport and all I can think about is my new car, so close yet so far... Quote
bozz Posted 16, January 2012 Report Posted 16, January 2012 It is almost time for me to pick up my car, I am sitting in Las Vegas airport and all I can think about is my new car, so close yet so far... Hope the lack of update means you've picked up your new toy and can't possibly get near a keyboard! Let us know how things went Cheers, bozz Quote
Pommie Posted 16, January 2012 Author Report Posted 16, January 2012 I HAVE IT WOOO HOOO, what a bloody awesome car.. I have to thank Adam at warverly Renault he has been great. Quote

Hey Rado, Saw you driving down Manningham road just before Bell street on my way back from the airport in the taxi yesterday. Funny to see someone from a forum on the road. Quote
gordini-leader Posted 17, January 2012 Report Posted 17, January 2012 Fello Pom who has just collected my Gordini RS Clio, hows the car? Quote
Pommie Posted 17, January 2012 Author Report Posted 17, January 2012 It is funny, I am a 34 year old with a family and I feel like a bloody teenager in this car. Once I put everyone to bed, I had to go for a drive last night, I have had some nice cars in my time but this tops the lot. What also surprises me is the looks you get when your driving it! LOVE IT!! Quote

jmof67 Posted 18, January 2012 Report Posted 18, January 2012 Hey Pommie, I am 44 and doing the same thing in my Clio Gordini RS 200. Making up planty of excuses/reasons to take her out for a spin just because it is so bloody enjoyable. I might see you around as I am in the East as well. Cheers..james Quote
Pommie Posted 18, January 2012 Author Report Posted 18, January 2012 Fello Pom who has just collected my Gordini RS Clio, hows the car? words can not explain hahahahahaha Quote
Danny Posted 18, January 2012 Report Posted 18, January 2012 Haha, congrats Pommie, I said that my 250 made me feel 18 again. They are wonderful. Quote
CorporalPunishment Posted 19, January 2012 Report Posted 19, January 2012 Oh so you're the one who picked up the white one from Waverley! You came up in conversation the other day while I had my car in for a service. Apparently you ranked equal first (with me) for most excited owner picking one up Hope you're enjoying it, it's certainly one of the best cars out there. And in white . Now go out there and drive it! Oh and I too am part of the 'Eastern crew', for now at least. Wantirna South specifically Quote
Danny Posted 19, January 2012 Report Posted 19, January 2012 I've written you officially off the Eastern Crew books now Prabhath, so not any more! Quote

I need to grow up really Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk Quote
RBH58 Posted 19, January 2012 Report Posted 19, January 2012 Hahaha yes I was/am a little bit excited.. I need to grow up really No you don't. I bought my first RS (RS250) at 52 (don't know if that makes me the oldest RS owner on this forum but I'd be upper quartile) and I felt pretty much the same way you do about driving it. Look forward to seeing you on a drive day. Quote
CorporalPunishment Posted 19, January 2012 Report Posted 19, January 2012 I've written you officially off the Eastern Crew books now Prabhath, so not any more! I'm still east, just very very very very very very north-east Quote
Pommie Posted 15, January 2013 Author Report Posted 15, January 2013 Well it is 1 year tomorrow and still loving it like the day I picked it up. Quote
RBH58 Posted 15, January 2013 Report Posted 15, January 2013 Yeah...30,000kms and 20 months and I'm still in love (wish I'd spent more time thrashing it though). In fact, this time next year I'll be starting to think about offloading it. Wonder what's next? Quote
griffyn Posted 15, January 2013 Report Posted 15, January 2013 Wonder what's next? An RS Clio 4, surely... Quote
RBH58 Posted 15, January 2013 Report Posted 15, January 2013 Wonder what's next? An RS Clio 4, surely... I seriously doubt it. Quote
