Matteo Posted 26, September 2007 Report Share Posted 26, September 2007 Hello I am the face behind R26 number 1399! I met many of you up in Birdwood at the french car day on Sunday, it was a fantastic day and i personally had a lot of fun, it was a real pleasure to speak to you all and trade stories. Apologies - I've forgotten your names, my memory isn't all that flash (although i do remember DrGonzo - hard to forget plus he's got the same car) So if you remember talking to me (red tshirt / renaultsport cap) please drop me a line i'd love to hear from you's all. The Megane is absolutely awesome and i love it... will take her down to the Great Ocean Road this long weekend ! Cheers ! PS DrGonzo are the pics you took of my car posted anywhere?

Qubic Posted 26, September 2007 Report Share Posted 26, September 2007 G'day Matteo! I was there! We didn't meet properly, but I'm sure we'll catch up on one of the many drive days we have! (I did have a good look at your car though....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matteo Posted 26, September 2007 Author Report Share Posted 26, September 2007 Thanks guys ! Indeed, let's hope we meet up soon... i decided to go for the R26 because uhm i love fast renaults (my dad had a 5 GT Turbo 20 years ago or so), i would always go for french cars, actually i had a 205 gti 1.9 before the megane, a great little car, great handler / performer, it seems to me the french excel in this. I wanted something with serious grunt so i naturally thought about the megane sport but the R26 was really my first choice because of the great reviews ( all the improvements in over the cup version for instance the l.s.d.) ...what more can i say 'cause it looks tough in black with tint Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murcod Posted 26, September 2007 Report Share Posted 26, September 2007 Hi Matteo, it was myself and "Mase" (Jamie) that were talking to you at the Torrens Parade ground about joining up. Glad to see you have. (My car was the light blue RSC 182 with the white stripes.) PS: There's a drive day being organised for this weekend in the social section if you're interested.

Dish Posted 27, September 2007 Report Share Posted 27, September 2007 Dunno about SA, but no double demerits here in VIC Welcome Matteo! Great to have another SA Megane owner join their fray. You'll love the G-O Rd. How far east are you heading? Might have to have a Melb meet & greet? Cheers, Dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragyn Posted 27, September 2007 Report Share Posted 27, September 2007 Hi Matteo! Griffyn and I were the ones in the blood orange Clio with stripes (over from Melbourne). I think you had a much longer chat with Griffyn (Mikee) than you did with me (Amanda). Was great to see an R26 "in the flesh" and a bonus to see two of them! (Thanks Dr Gonzo!) - it was great to meet you too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 27, September 2007 Report Share Posted 27, September 2007 Welcome!! Good choice on the R26 - it looks HOT!! Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matteo Posted 27, September 2007 Author Report Share Posted 27, September 2007 hey everyone.... cool to see so many replies to my post after a boring day in the office bout the drive that's being organised i will be interstate this weekend (i guess i can't have everything) and i was thinking to go as far as Lorne - i don't think we'll make it to Melbourne to be honest as my gf wants to do a lot of bushwalking etc. I just noticed my neighbour across the road (xxxxx Avenue, adelaide) drives a Clio RS172! i wonder if he's signed up? I might just have to go introduce myself. Last but not least. For a custom set of plates i was thinking RS1399, but i'm open to suggestions... Cheers y'all have a great long weekend & enjoy the road Matteo EDIT: removed street name. Cheers, Dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dish Posted 27, September 2007 Report Share Posted 27, September 2007 No worries mate just you never know who reads this stuff, so best to keep things safe Wouldn't want your new pride & joy vandalised, broken into or stolen... or your neighbour's for that matter!
