forge-l Posted 7, July 2005 Report Share Posted 7, July 2005 Hi to all, I've just pickup an Arctic Blue Megane Sport .What can I say, great car and hopefully a good choice to. Was actually wanting to buy a Clio sport but the wife thought it was to small and needed extra doors (we have two young children) she noticed the 225 in the lot and said "what about this" she had to twist my arm so hard ,One week later went for a test drive and we bought it Bye Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSC172 Posted 7, July 2005 Report Share Posted 7, July 2005 Welcome to the forum Leo. Either the Clio or Megane I don't think you'd be disappointed, they're both excellent cars! Good to see another Megane owner around the forums though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ Posted 7, July 2005 Report Share Posted 7, July 2005 I see you had a question mark against your '93 Bluebird, why? they were a good car. The Jap version Atessa version was even better. anyway you've got a Renault now. hope you come to love their quirks as much as we do!!

forge-l Posted 7, July 2005 Author Report Share Posted 7, July 2005 Quirks? what quirks I I've owned enough of those type of cars as you can see , it gives them character .The Bluebird is a good car extremely reliable just boring and doesnt handle like the euros.

petew Posted 7, July 2005 Report Share Posted 7, July 2005 welcome to the fold......... we pretty much did the same wanted the Clio, had a few issues with delivery and ended up with the Megane, and it turned out to be the right choice for us also with two small kids !! As the guys have said already you wont be disappointed. Where did you get it from ??? petew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david shearer Posted 7, July 2005 Report Share Posted 7, July 2005 Welcome Leo, great to see another Melbourne 225 owner. we'll have to organise a drive together one day soon. Such a great car, sure you wont be disapointed. I couldn't help noticing all the Alfa Romeos you own, did the Alfa GT or GTA cross your mind when looking at cars? we used to have a 105 GTA replica in the family, my uncle races it now so I guess its still in the family. Enjoy, cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about the Blue and that weird butt on them that looks so hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo I think the arctic blue looks better with the silver wheels. If anything I would go black like the Megane Trophy... But then again I like keeping the appearance stock.

synergize84 Posted 9, July 2005 Report Share Posted 9, July 2005 G'day Leo Nice to see another 225 around the streets of Melbourne, if you see a silver 225 around the south eastern or eastern suburbs give me a wave will ya!? Hope the car is treating you well and that you haven't bumped into any problems, my car has done 20,000km's now and despite it being towed into the dealers cos it wouldn't start due to a faulty sensor it has been pretty much flawless. Di, ummm....i promise promise next drive ahaha, had a 2 year anni with g/f last time, couldn't avoid that one! Winston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
