RAPID GTA Posted 8, April 2014 Report Posted 8, April 2014 Hi all, Have recently purchased a new RS265 Cup + in Glacier White. Delivery in approx a fortnight. Cant wait. What a great car, so competent. Previous car was an Alfa 147 GTA which I lost to fire a month or so ago. This will be my second Renault, my first was a 15TS. Since then mostly Alfas. Was hard to move away from Alfa's as I consider myself to be an Alfista. So I've now purchased a Renault, well at least it was from the heart ! Tossed up waiting for the upgraded 265, however am not a fan of the new look front end plus the run out deals on the Cups are attractive at present. Looking forward to delivery and participating in this forum. Quote

Jinxter Posted 9, April 2014 Report Posted 9, April 2014 Welcome. Soon you'll be looking for any reason to go for a drive - even just down the street to get milk like the rest of us. Great choice in car. Shame about the Alfa being written off though. Colin. Quote
RBH58 Posted 10, April 2014 Report Posted 10, April 2014 Welcome RapidGTA. Hope you enjoy the Meg. I really can't think of a better car to follow a 147GTA with. As you know (from ausalfa.com), we've just gone back to the joys of having an Alfa in the garage again. It's funny approaching Alfa ownership for the second time around. I'm expecting the weird quirks and flaws and this time I'm more amused by them (although I'm glad it's the missus and not me that has to contend with "Blue & Me" on a daily basis!). The Megane's sometimes dubious ergonomics should give you the warm & fuzzies. Quote

I simply could not live with a car that has no character or personality, have been there before and won't go back. Your Mito looks great by the way. Quote

RBH58 Posted 10, April 2014 Report Posted 10, April 2014 Your Mito looks great by the way. SWMBO is loving it. She's a proper Alfisti I think. Quote
