MK2Ed Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Completely pointless in this thread but best handling car I've owned was a Renault 5 gt turbo. Little rollerskate on wheels. It would have run rings round my mk1 golf GTi, and 205 GTi. Good luck with the car, looks great! Lots of those at Retro Show last weekend - big stand of 'em. I like 'em TBH but they had their faults. The Ren Sport Clio was a mighty successor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Mk2 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I remember back in the 90s, when I was a teenager, getting a lift in one being driven by a complete maniac. Pretty damn scary if I'm honest, but maybe my opinion will be biased. (Truly thought I was going to die that night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Transplanter Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 My mate has a 1.9 with a GTI6 engine, and he also owns the red 4wd cossied one which has just been totally freshened up and will make its debut at pugfest tomorrow. French cars do nothing to me, but the 205 is one of the better ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEm Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Fun indeed but be wary of build quality. Its proper shite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJUK Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I've had one before, I agree they are made of cheese. Just something to use which I can lob the shopping in rather than taking the escort out, which is a bit of a full on job, harness, cage and rattles. It's fun, but a bit full on. This one has comfy seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willsy Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Great cars, had one myself Be careful not to lift off the gas on a fast bend! They have a great knack of cocking a rear wheel and pitching you into a hedge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Stewart Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I owned one of these about a 3 years ago, good fun and like a little go kart, they do have problems from leaky sunroofs and seals etc Enjoy the pocket rocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
