I think i was beside you at the the pump in Comber Texaco a lot of weeks back? Wasnt sure if it was you or not but there was a lot of looks exchanged at cars lol

Not guilty! A few people have said to me about the car down Comber direction, I’m yet to see it about myself!

There is a fake Eddie in Kircubbin too! You’ve maybe seen it when down at Kirkistown. It’s a fantastic colour. You have it looking top notch

Few from Trackskills yesterday.

Fantastic day out and much more confidence in the car with new fluid and braided lines.

Myself and Marc at Polished & Waxed are going to coat the car this coming Friday before it goes off into storage in the next week or so. I have been using the car for testing various different LSP for my business but it’s now time to have a coating applied. Will also refit the Fujilight wheels and maybe swap back to the standard pads.

Carried out a light machine polish and coated with Autobead 5 Year Graphene coating. As always thanks to Marc @ P&W for the collab & use of premises!

Also refitted the Fuji Light wheels and 10mm spacers this time around for a less aggressive ‘stance’.

Car goes off to storage tomorrow for the winter months so that will give me time to think about what is next for it!

Car has been tucked away now since mid November. I remember saying this last year but hopefully get out and about to more meets etc in 2023 with the car.

There aren’t really any future plans for the car now. I’ve ticked off everything (and more) in terms of modifications. Forge did release a FMIC this year but I have decided no more track days so I’m finding it difficult to justify the price.

Just happy it is off my driveway through the winter months…maybe the next thing should be a garage at home 😅.

Thanks to a fellow RMSer for offering up some unit space after I had to find some new accommodation for the Megane.

First MOT was Friday and car passed without any advisories.

Booked in for service this coming Friday and plan on taking it to the Cars & Coffee down at Ferrari on Saturday.

Also put my name in the hat for indoor at Dubshed and happy to say the car got accepted for indoors for the second year in a row - must be slim pickings for the French stuff or else the £20 on the dashboard worked last year for @natogreen16v 😮😆.

Will make some time and have it cleaned up in the days leading up to the show.

Hope you get some good use out of it this year.

See you at Dubshed.

I really hope so. Enjoyed even the short drive to MOT on Friday. Taking a few days off this week so will put a few miles on it this week 😃.

Just wanted to drop a couple of photos in to keep the thread updated. Seems like an eternity ago now but Dubshed was a great show. With work commitments I only got up for a while on the Saturday afternoon and then again for a short period of time on the Sunday to collect the car.

Headed to the Comber Cars and Coffee in July also which was a great evening with a nice variety of cars on display! Really love the standard, low mileage Mk4 R32 - probably my pick of the cars from that evening! In between times I also arranged a Renaultsport meet down with the guys at Bells, Crossgar. Really well attended with over 50 Renaultsports calling in throughout the morning!

Kind of at a crossroads with the car now. It’s such a shame that I don’t use it and I’m considering selling up. I will have the car two years in October, so far I’ve driven it 2,300 miles with around 550 of those bringing the car home. Will give it some more serious consideration as I absolutely love the car every time I drive it!

I find if I can even use mine for 30 mins the odd evening its a lot better than nothing. If you can't even manage that then is there really any point in having it?

Although if its not depreciating and you don't need the money then no harm in keeping it either.

Mate I’ve less than 8k on a 10year old car next year, I’m only responsible for 3000 of those in the last 3.5 years!

If you don’t need the monies just keep it as it’s a lovely car.

Unless you have your eye on the next thing I'd keep it. Money is safer in the car. Although you don't drive it much it must be like a new car every time you get into it, I have that in the GTR ... trying to figure out what button controls what again :joy:

Its looking really good there mate. It can be a tough call when you don't get to use it much but I would also say keep unless you have a plan :grinning:

Still remember you in my rear mirror going up the Glengormley hill for the Antrim coast run last year. Looked great with good bit of presence!!
