Thanks guys - Its true I am a compulsive R Sport OCD addict official. To answer your questions. The R26R was mine last year.
Got bored, sold it. Then bought another one this year in pearl white - now sold that too. Lunar grey one shown above.
The R200 does not come close to the .R tbh. I love the clio for what it is - great all rounder that can seat the kids
and go round a track all day. You can drive it flat our everywhere as its not that quick, and it handles really well.
But the R26R....OMG. It really is a baby Porsche GT3...really direct steering, you can feel every groove and rut in
the road, great power and no wheel spin thanks to a proper LSD. Amazing sounds from the exhaust. But..day to day
the seats and harnesses are a pain in the arse, you worry that some twonk might push the plastic windows through,
and those tyres are lethal in the wet.
In the past 20 years I have now owned 2 Renault 5 Turbo 2s, 2 Renault 5GT turbos, 3 Renault 21Turbos, a Clio Williams 3,
2 Clio 182 Trophys, Clio V6 230, 2 Clio V6 255s titanium and now this illiad one, Clio 197 F1, 2 Clio 197 Cup, 2 Megane R26.Rs,
Clio RS200 Cup and a Clio RS200 FF.
Some say I have wasted my money...I say some people sniff £500 up their nose each month...each to their own [smilie=thanks.gif]
