No152 Posted 17, August 2016 Report Posted 17, August 2016 Thanks all, I will be picking her up this Thursday. Will post some photos then! PS - are there any unwritten rules when on the forum? Lots of rules, but most important is not to mention the word Toy@t@... Some on the forum have made a connection between Lotus and Toy@t@, while others have not. Provides endless entertainment to those of us that are easily amused... Second most important is that all updates on your vehicle must be accompanied by pictures, because we all can never get enough pictures of RS cars. Failure to do this may result in the mods sin binning you for a week, because we are VERY serious about our pictures of RS cars.. (I am joking here of course, but did I mention we like pictures of RS cars...) Third rule is if you want to make wildly, crazy and outlandish off beat posts with your own blend of wisdom that only Mensa candidates can understand (as the rest of us are just not that bright), we have a thread especially for that, which is pretty much dominated by the member that it is named in honour of... I'm sure you will find it? If not, Wade will certainly help get you acquainted with the thread... You can see I am just joking, of course... The forum is a very friendly bunch of folks that are willing and happy to help out (in both the virtual world and in real life) and offer advice and assistance on lots of fronts, and it's a very good place to be part of. Enjoy the forum and your new car. Very nice choice.. The final unwritten rule (I didn't actually realise there were so many until I started listing them out for you) is that at some point you will need to also buy a Clio.. Sorry, but you just will, so best start preparing for that reality now I say... 7 Quote

rob 240 Posted 17, August 2016 Report Posted 17, August 2016 (edited) Debs right - too many soft Meggy owners on about the things that don't matter . As Series 1 Elise owners [ no aircon , no electric windows , no power anything , no cup holders , no carpet ] say to Series 3 Elise owners [ aircon , power windows , easy fit roof , cup holder and carpet ]........ '' get the roof off , drive hard and harden the eff up '' . it's quite a fun barrage of ribbing between the two , with S1 owners totally out numbered Edited 17, August 2016 by rob 240 Quote

hengeli Posted 18, August 2016 Report Posted 18, August 2016 Who else here think Lunar Gray is an awesome colour for the Meg?? Liquid Yellow is wonderful too. Quote
No152 Posted 18, August 2016 Report Posted 18, August 2016 Who else here think Lunar Gray is an awesome colour for the Meg?? Liquid Yellow is wonderful too. I'm probably biased, but I have yet to see one that doesn't look good. Renault have created an awesome shape, finished it off with interesting details, packed it with superb performance and handling, and selected colours that all look good (to me anyway). Even in white, the shape works and they look good, especially pearl white. Shape works well with the dark colours they have chosen too, right up to all black. But, yes, Lunar Grey creates a special sensation too, as does the Liquid Yellow. All fantastic! I wonder how it would go with Alien Green... 1 Quote
hengeli Posted 19, August 2016 Report Posted 19, August 2016 No its too hard on the shape I think, The RB looks smashing though, its a buy full-stop. Quote
